Adventures in CS-112: earthexe Takes an Introductory Computer Science Class

As part of my major, I am required to take a class titled "Foundations of Computer Science." And so far, every day has been magical in its own little way. I am currently beginning week 3 of 10 in this class, and so far I have learned:

• How to follow the textbook creators on twitter
  
• What a tablet is
  
• How to use emoticons (:
  
• How to use a web browser
  
• The difference between a laptop and a desktop PC
  
• What "the cloud" is
  
• How to use proper "netiquette" online - don't post any "flames!"
  
• What HTTP stands for
  
• The literary background of the word "mobile"
  

While actual, useful things I have learned include:

• How to connect to and use an FTP server
  

There's also a very vocal guy who consistently browses 4chan in class, and eagerly advertises that he does so at every opportunity.

I'll be back with some more stories and tidbits. Please sit back and enjoy yourselves.
