Hopefully so far a nice handy start to the semester. I still feel like its the holidays. Full timetable next week so back to real work I say :pac:

probably be a bit busier alright but I'm liking the feel of the semester so far ..... nice mixture of modules

I'd definitely go with this being an enjoyable semester too... instead of all that theory of last semester, we get to play around with digital audio and animation which makes if feel like a real computer course. Java module is smaller so should be less pressure and more enjoyable. I'm looking forward to the project too, its very practical and its easier than java. The ugly module this semester could be Routing C&P, there are a lot of slides in those lectures and if that last lab is anything to go by, Thursday evenings aren't going to be that much fun! C Woods hasn't sent out the schedule for the project labs yet?

I,m sure she'll have it sorted early tomorrow , it's nice to have a few enjoyable modules at last - I reckon routing will be ok too once labs are sorted and Java won,t cover a lot of new material so should be handy too. We're in for a desperate shock if it works out differently

Im only really worried about the computing project, but that's mainly because i'm not too sure how we're supposed to approach it yet. That class we had on friday wasn't of much use.

hopefully it's gonna be fairly logical I'm sure we'll all run into difficulties though

I was hoping Critical Thinking would be opposite of Creative Thinking, as in it would be about solving logical problems and not creative airy fairy stuff... :rolleyes:

I showed our handout to a housemate who has done Creative Thinking and she said its very similar, same lecturer, same reference books even...

Her advice was to show up to all the double hour classes no matter how much you hate it, or else you won't get to fill out your journal on what you did in class which won't go down well. Also, be prepared to be asked bizarre questions in the double hour class such as if a boat was sinking and you had only two items, what would they be? Why do you think the person next to you is dressed the way they are today? :eek:

I love it! Nooooooooooooot:(

It's actually spoilt this semester for me. Was really liking it so far. It's like a self-help class. This weekly journal and "minutes", secretary, timekeeper BS, OMG.

It's absolutely ridiculous..

Same as definitely ruining a whole semester .... ridiculous module !

Ha ha, I told ye sorry

FFS the stupid required reading book is'nt even in the library!! and I'm F**ked if I'm forking out for it ..... according to the handout today it's VITAL !

I've checked dozens of the usual sites and can not find it anywhere. Found the second book alright. $100 on amazon for it:eek:

Yeah saw that one too , well at least we can,t read it if we can,t get it

For all you hipsters out there we now have Instragram for coders

This some how makes my code look worse which I didn't think was possible.

Well Facebook paid 1Billion for instagram so people could put pictures of what they are eating for dinner in their news feeds, I reckon its nice for us coders to have something similar.

I mean who wouldn't enjoy looking at my awesomely sexy java code strutting its stuff?
