Everything Offends Me
I started school on Monday, and now, after the first week, I feel comfortable giving my first impressions of UNM (this is being typed/posted from a lab that I don't need).
The school is really neat, and there are some really cute girls here. That is one of the best features of this school. It is a really big campus, so giving myself 10 minutes between classes was a really dumb mistake. Live and learn.
There are 2 classes I am required to take for my major this semester, and both are kind of jokes so far. One is Social and Ethical Issues in Computing, and the other is Fundamentals of Programming. The Ethics class is self explanatory as to why it is useless, but the fundamentals class is supposed to be a Java class, which should be useful, but the first week has been "This is a mouse, here is what it does." Sigh.
I am taking two math classes - Triganometry and Pre-Calculus. Both teachers are very Hungarian, and I can't understand a word that my Trig teacher is saying. My pre-calc teacher is a lot better, and she's hot, too. This semester will be full of me teaching myself trig tho.
I am taking a Technical Writing course as well, and I love it. The best part is that I hate English classes usually, but this is great - English, with a useful purpose! The teacher is funny, too. Bonus. Finally, a good English class.
I have two labs, Physics Lab, and the Fundamentals of Programming Labs. Physics should be fun, but this programming lab (where I'm at now...) is a joke. Teacher just said "Your program must compile, if it doesn't I won't grade it." No kidding. Sigh.
I sound cynical, but its early, and I hate being talked down to. Oh, and in both programming classes, there is a guy that sits in the front and heckles the teacher. Yesterday, the prof called Word a text editor. Oh no, the guy stands up and says "Its a word processor, do you know the difference?" Sigh.
