First Art Sale

 It's been a fruitful month. I joined the local art society this year and participated the Half-Price Sale for the first time. It was on the weekend of June 1st and 2nd. Despite the terrible weather on Saturday, we had a pretty good turn out overall. I managed to sell one of the four paintings that I entered in the sale. They are all landscapes from our Tasmania holiday 2 years ago.

However, the biggest fun I had this month was learning neural networks following cs231n course. I am up to the last 2 parts of assignment 2. I hope I will finish it this weekend!
