Ready, Set, Go!
January 9th, 2006After a great weekend of back-to-school partying, classes for Spring Semester 2006 have started. I went to all of my Monday classes today and it was pretty boring. Mondays are going to be pretty hectic for me with classes from 1:00-9:00pm. There is a one hour break and a couple thirty minute breaks, but it’ll be pretty much going from one class to the next, ugh. One thing that surprised me about today was my Physics lab class not only met on the first week but actually worked through a lab, which is fairly surprising as we hadn’t learned anything to experiment about yet. Also, only two people in the room of 25 had their lab manuals. I was not one of them, so I guess it’s better luck next time.
Overall, I’m pretty excited about this semester. I’ll get to do some really cool and in-depth Java programming in CS4336 Advanced Java, some new and exciting stuff with Perl and Unix in CS3375 Principles of Unix, and I got Farage (my favorite professor at UTD) for CS3354 Data Structures and Algorithms. CS3345 Software Engineering might get annoying, but it should be a good break from all the code-writing I’ll be doing. Also, my Physics professor seems really cool and it sounds like the grading scheme and assignments are going to be considerably easier than Physics 1.
One last thing I ought to mention is that I will soon be posting in a new category named “Java” to fulfill a 5% grade requirement for my Advanced Java class. These postings will be observations and musings about programs that I write for the class.
