Back to school!

[aliaspseudonym]

Well, tomorrow is move-in day for Residence at my school. I'm maybe the tiniest bit nervous but I'm sure it'll be fine.

My Dad (who is great) just sat down with me to help get my program worked out (since I'm hoping to do a double major in english and bio and its tricky.) And it looks like it is possible! I need to hang around in school for an extra year and take a pretty heavy course-load, but I'm pretty sure I can do it. I am still short one class if I take 5 courses per semester for the rest of it >.> but I have to take two from a list of courses like 'intro to geology' and 'intro to computers' so I figure if I take those during one semester they'll be less work combined than any one of my other courses so I could take six courses that semester easy >.>b

"Intro to computers" <.< 'See this is the keyboard, and you push the buttons and make words! Now speed-typing exercises for the rest of the course.'

There's an 'intro to computer programming' course that sounds slightly less basic, think I'll take that instead >.>b

I took an Intro to Computers course and yeah, it's pretty much like that. They cover programs too, but only Windows ones.

"This is Microsoft Word! You type letters in on the keyboard, and it makes them show up on the screen! Yay! Isn't that neat?"

I remember that was the course I spent the most time looking at fursuit tutorials in.

Hey, that might actually be reason to take the intro to Windows, I mean computers, class. Just think of the opportunity to get college credit for surfing the web!

I wonder what programming language they'll have you study ... Smalltalk and Scheme are Lisp dialects that are often seen in these classes, and are supposed to be easy to learn, but there isn't much real-world application for them. On the other hand, if they have you learn Python you'll probably have fun and learn how to build useful things at the same time.

If they try to teach you Assembly or Java, run.
