So, as I'm officially going to CMU next fall (in the school of computer science), I thought it would be a good idea to, um. Learn programming. Some of you may remember that I took an independent study in Java two years ago. Unfortunately, that class is part of a black hole in my memory, so I'm now working through a Java book with the help of a friend of my father's.
After two chapters and 29 practice programs, I can now:
* average three numbers together
* figure out the number of seconds in a given timeslot
* draw the Big Dipper
* make a pie chart
I am INVINCIBLE.
(Ten chapters left!)
