I just started my 3rd week at the University of Sydney, and it’s pretty awesome.

Undertaking a degree in Computer Science and Technology is pretty tough. I’ve barely had time to sleep at night. For example – in 2 weeks I have learned

  • How to plot imaginary numbers on the imaginary plane
  • The beautiful inter-connectedness of the dot and cross products in vectory multiplication
  • How to use styles in Word
  • How to search Google
  • How to use tables in html
  • The difference between a local C: drive and the network attached U: drive
  • How to make a pyramid of *’s on the command line with java
  • That computers work by switching on and off really really fast
  • and how to circumvent the undergraduate download limit
