Tomorrow I officially start my second year of Computer Science with Information Security here at Royal Holloway, University of London. My timetable is actually a lot smaller than last years, but that probably means the workload is just going to be piled on top of us!

Monday

11:00 – 12:00 Object-oriented software engineering

13:00 – 16:00 Robotics Lab

Tuesday

12:00 – 13:00 Robotics

16:00 – 17:00 Object-oriented software engineering

Wednesday

10:00 – 11:00 Robotics

11:00 – 12:00 Algorithms & Complexity

Thursday

10:00 – 11:00 Algorithms & Complexity

11:00 – 12:00 Object-oriented software engineering

14:00 – 15:00 Information Security

Friday

11:00 – 12:00 Algorithms & Complexity

So all in all, quite a good timetable for a first term. Friday mornings will be annoying, but at least I have an early finish. That said, I do not even want to think about the homework we’re going to get.

On 1st October, a load of our students are going to a “Microsoft Student Day” where we will be subjected to brainwashing Micro$oft propaganda interesting lectures on technology, as well as a speech from the devil himself Steve Balmer. Suffice to say, I will be sitting there with Gentoo Linux running on my laptop whilst Mr Balmer tries to answer my question about why anyone would actually purchase a Microsoft Surface computer.
