First Day of Lectures

Well, thats one day down lol! Only two trillian to go. Naa, actually I found todays lectures to be quite interesting, even though they were basically just the classic “welcome to unit XXXXnnnnn” of whatever you want to call them. My Procedural Programming work was interesting, we’re just going to dive into C and just start there. Best tip ever I had, “you can’t be taught a programming language, you just have to pick it up as you go along“. Call me a bit stupid, but I had never written a piece of code in ANSI C before, so this meant that this should be interesting, learning to code properly, because well really, I probabily have picked up from other programming stuff a million and one bad habits that I need to get shot of first so that will be things to learn, but still fun :D

Engineering mathematics was also the only other thing that happened today. Now that is a double lecture, this means that regardless of the weird Bristol Hour, its a two hour (1h50 or something maybe) lecture so we cover more stuff in that time. Again being the first lecture it’s more, “this is what you will be doing” and “we assume you have forgotten everything so here we start”. But hey, vectors are easy, annoying as feck but still easy so hey, that’ll do for me :P .

Already bought one text book out of six trillion and submitted my first piece of coursework already, “write a script that does Hello, World!” now come on that isn’t particuraly difficult now is it?!? If I don’t get 100% on that I will be shocked.

Well, thats one day of stuff, I thankfully have an 11 o’clock start tommorow instead of 9, which should be good, and I also get to meet my tutor (twice, hes my first lecturer tommorow) which should be interesting.

Now for more TF2…
