Talking to thin air

I FINALLY MADE JAVA DO SOMETHING ON MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have literally tried to get Java to display "Hello World" about ten times before, but have never had any success. I have successfully gotten it to print out to the terminal, but that doesn't count. SO YAY I CAN PROGRAM ON MY COMPUTER!!!!!!! Also, I am currently on lecture 4 of the Stanford intro CS class, which is awesome—not only is the prof really clear, but the whole thing is just very well done. The only problem I'm having is connecting with the Stanford stuff, so I might just go through using Swing (which is what I used years and years ago when I took our intro CS class). Maybe I actually will be able to take the second half this spring!

On that note, I am now having conniptions about my courses, yet again. I spend way too much time worrying about what classes I want to take. I know I will be taking my thesis and a linguistics class; and I am fairly sure I want to take my professor's geo grad seminar. So, that's three. Now I also want to take the second half of intro CS, which is four. If I were rational, I would just stop there, because CS and my thesis will both take a ton of time, and it would be good to have enough time to actually do a good job on my thesis. But then again, I also want to take biogeography, and my brother suggested that I could talk to the GIS professor about doing an independent study where I go through the whole class just on my own—so those are possibly both options as well.

UGH SO MUCH VICTORY SO MANY PROBLEMS!!!
