First Day of School
Today was the first day of classes at UCI. I had two classes, my Programming Languages course and my Digital Image class. Based on what I saw today, the Programming Languages course is going to be the hardest to stay awake in. The room was 90 some odd degrees with no air conditioning and the teacher was going over these seemining unimportant, and basic concepts that were taught in ICS 51. That class went from a glimmer of hope while reading the syllabus to down right boring in a very short period of time. On the other hand, I am very much looking forward to my digital image processing course. We will be writing algorithms for facial recognition, smoothing, and many other neat programs. This course will definitely take a good amount of work to complete successfully. There will be a lot of statistics, probability, linear algebra, and calculus involved which are all not my areas of strength, but I feel very excited about the material and course, so I hope that I might finally be able to learn these concepts that seemed so pointless in a math class room and put them to good use. Only time will tell.
