I'm starting to become concerned that I'm in the wrong CS class. I already know everything in the class. Now, when I say that, I don't just mean that I already took a class in it or read a book. No, I mean that I've been using these concepts in the real world for years. I talked to my professor a bit about my concern. He agreed with me that I was going to have to focus to stay with the class, and that there isn't really anything I can do skip ahead.

Today we spent 2 hours on inheritance. That was bad. Near the end I was looking for a solid surface to beat my head against. We're not done with inheritance either, we still have a lab on monday and a project after that. The one saving grace is Java. Years ago, Martin told me that I would like Java. He was right. It's very clean, with good tools and a good object model. I wish there were function references, and operator overloading, but all and all I've worked with worse languages.

My other classes aren't as dull - I don't already know the material in those classes. I'm starting to get a good read on the best way to drive out there. It's going ok.
