Back 2 school

Last week I started up what will hopefully be my penultimate semester at college. I've completed all of my bullshit boring required classes like English and math which were damn near identical to one's I had in high school, except this time I got to pay for them. Now it's all meat, the good stuff. Web development 2 which is going hard into Javascript, node, jquery and React. I also have an entire class devoted to Javascript itself which is super exciting because it's deep into vanilla so while I'm getting the React training in web dev, I have the basic js knowledge to back it up and help make sense of it all. Then there's object oriented programming with Java. I'm not jazzed about Java, in fact when I took the beginner Java course last semester I damn near failed it. Not trying to shirk the blame but I feel a lot had to do with the professor being bored with his job & unhelpful to the students. My OOP professor this semester is a bit more fun, outspoken and genuinely enjoys programming. I've got high hopes for this class as I'm long overdue for learning some back end languages. Here's to a good semester, cheers!
