Excited for classes to start

Sitting here about to go out to dinner, I find myself excited that classes are about to start. Granted, they officially started last week, but I don't have class on Friday and we had three snow days - so classes haven't really started for me yet. But of my four classes, I have had one meeting of two of them - Automata Theory and Written Communication in Business. The former seems easy, given that I've taken 2-3 classes that require it and gotten a B or better. The latter is, I expect, going to be a lot of pointless work that I'm really going to be able to summarize the entirety of the class in a few pages and a couple templates. But such is many of the classes you take (and it's a discussion/rant for another day) The people in the class seem interesting, and the two that I met (oddly all three Comp Sci students sat together without provocation) will make the class enjoyable given that I'll be able to work with them. I forget their names, but I'm epically terrible with remembering anything.

The other two classes, Software Engineering and Advanced Web Technology (I think that's what the other class is called, it's something like that), are what I've been waiting for - a return to programming. True, I have had the chance to program this whole time, but I like it better when I have a deadline. I don't usually work very actively unless I have a deadline, I'm a lazy SOB like that. The only reason (and this is a bit of a tangent) that I finished as much of my Zombie game that I did was due to the fact that I turned the game into an art project for my ART307 class last semester. In doing so, I made a deadline for myself and finished the site to it's almost-current state (I've added more to it since) in a given time period. That's not to say I'm detrimentally lazy - I get done what I need to get done. And Zombies will eventually get finished, just right now there's so much to do I need to make a to-do list and take it slow, etc. etc. I'll post again about that issue whenever I get the motivation to.

But classes. Well one more thing, that I'm particularly interested in. In the Web Technology class, I have a slight feeling that one piece of the class will be Android Application Development. If this is the case, then hell yes! I have an Android phone, and if the class will be formally teaching us to write Android apps, then I will be able to extrapolate and write apps for submission to the Android Market. What does that mean? Easy money for me when I am jobless in a few months, because let's face it - I ain't getting a job. As an American trying to find a programming job in America, I'm SOL. Though I am trying. Very hard.
