A late night babysitting XLMiner

It's 2:30 AM, and I'm running data sets through XLMiner's neural network classification.  The first set was for 30 iterations and that took roughly ten minutes.  Now I'm running it for 150 iterations, and after that is 300.  While I dearly love this subject, and under normal conditions I'd be fascinated by what it will eventually return, it's nights like these that I wonder if my lifespan is long enough to justify this.

I'm going to be pretty peeved if the world ends a la 2012 (although if it's anything like the cheesy movie, at least I'd be amused while mankind was coming to an end).  Then again, I wouldn't have to pay back all of my student loans :)
