Beyond High-School

Yesterday I've handed in my first paper since high school.
It was the first assignment I got, in the open-university course that started only a few weeks ago - "Introduction to Computer Science, Java and OOP". Even though I knew about it month ago, my natural laziness-instinct forced me to wait just till the very last day.. so by the time the clock showed 2:00AM, my paper was finally done. Lucky for me, you can send them over email these days.

I've never wrote even a single line of code in Java before, but I've been dealing with C# quite a lot in past few years.. which is basically quite the same, with just a few slightly differences (mostly in namespaces and classes' names)
Just like the Microsoft way- "someone else has a new idea or technology? Just wait a few years, and if it turns out as a success - you either buy it, or make a better replication of it."

So it seems that the course, or at least most of it, should be quite easy to accomplish. For now, it's so easy and basic, it's almost annoying. Yet, I'm trying not to belittle the class' chores too much.
For the first time in my life, I'd be really disappointed if I won't finish this course with (very?) high grades. Wish me luck.
