Here's my class lineup this semester. Let's hope that at the end of however-many months they're all listed on my transcript with an A, B or C next to them, eh?
Operating Systems II
I'm super excited for OSII this semester... except that it's an 8:30 class, bleh. I'm taking it with one of my favourite, most friendly professors - who has actually been to our apartment and seen me stupidly drunk as I fed the guy he was escorting absinthe.
ANYWAY... this course should be extremely interesting and fun. Oh, and I'm suuure you can guess what the final project is. If you can't... well, we'll be writing an operating system for a dev board of our choosing. That will be simultaneously fun and extremely frustrating. Fun because it'll be tooling around with low-level stuff (C and assembler!) and frustrating... well, for the same reason, actually. On the plus side, there are no assignments for this class!

I'm just guessing here. You like computers. Right? :D lol. What kind of career are you looking into with computers though?
ReplyDelete:O How did you guess!? ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't actually know what kind of job I'd end up with. I like programming because I like problem solving, but the difficulty with that is that most software development is profit-driven and most programmers have to sacrifice good code to meet manager's deadlines... and I'm not one to flippantly sacrifice elegance and good code for any reason.
Meaning I wouldn't be happy at most programming jobs. :(
I'm hoping to get a job maintaining and improving low-level legacy code. :3 Though, the chances are pretty slim...
Operating Systems II sounds awesome! Out of those you listed I'd pick that if I had to pick one. Just a shame it starts at 8:30 - it's scheduling like that that can really put me off a class and hate it!
