And we are go for liftoff....

Well, the school year has officially started. Syllabus week of class is over and I started my next week of classes just today. It's time for the rundown: STATS 412: IN THIS CORNER, a 400 level Stats class that is a requirement for CSE majors to graduate. Boasting graphs, charts, tables, and an older Indian lady who does not understand technology teaching a class of computer majors. My question to the University is... is this a real class? Or a secret University project designed to test the limits of how mere words can put humans to sleep? EECS 281: IN THIS CORNER, A programming class coming in at 4 credits! The logical progressor after the lightweight EECS 280, this class tests the limits of your programming ability by forcing you to develop and understand problem solving algorithms on a level mere humans can barely comprehend! The projects are aimed and loaded, ready to fire at my sleep schedule. There is little time... we must prepare. EECS 370: IN THE OTHER CORNER, A Computer Architecture class focusing on the programming that goes into microprocessors and how assembly language and machine code actually translates major computer languages into things that a computer can understand! This is a class that has a predecessor in EECS 270... which is not a major requirements for CSE majors! Be wary however, as the professor assumes everyone has taken EECS 270 and expects you to convert phrases to hexidecimal and binary within milliseconds of the question being asked! Almost like a computer! Except THIS computer has never heard of converting to binary or hexidecimal and spent the first class drooling on the table as the teacher taught to the elites who do programming as a hobby! IN THE FINAL CORNAHHH, Physics 240! The only returner on the schedule, this class is know for its ferociously difficult exams and incomprehensible gibberish it spouts in battle! Look for the fights to be mighty and well rehearsed this year... and this horrific, hated beast might finally go down in a flurry of notes and practice problems. ON THE CEEEILING, R. O. T. CCCCCC! The week opened strong with orientation giving yours truly his first opportunity to train cadets instead of being trained! It went outstanding and the amount of work put into it was well worth the effort. Well yours truly is quite out of shape after a summer recovering from field training, hard work and dedication will rectify that, as well as prepare the new freshman for years to come! We're looking forward to the future of this fighter, for sure! AND BEHIND THE WALL, RESIDENT ADVISINGGGGGGGG! Move in Week has finally ended and regularly scheduled programming has resumed! The hall appears to be building up well, though the multiple athletes on the floor have busy schedules that often leave them invisible to the public eye! There have been no major issues as of yet, with the exception of one room being busted for weed. However, the guilty recognizes the mistake and has seen the penalty of their actions, and now needs every ounce of help that can be provided to get this rectified in a good and beneficial manner! One can only hope it goes well from here. And personally, I'm starting to feel the stress, but this year will be a better year than last year. I've learned and grown, and today on the anniversary of the event that wasted 9 months of my life, I'm proud to say the past does not control me any longer. This will be the year I excel, in more ways than one. ...I apologize for the... odd... format today. It's the author in me getting angry that I don't pay any attention to his desires.
