School school school school

Went to my first Software Engineering class today. Kind of terrifying. I need to join a group. Ideally I'd join a group with Colleen, but she's at a higher level than I am, and Colleen's friends from this summer are at a higher level than she is ... urgh. Based on the syllabus, there would appear to be little actual programming in the class, but Colleen is of the [probably correct] opinion that programming is so obviously a given that it needn't be explicit on the syllabus.

It's terrifying, but that just means I have to do the work. Can't not do the work.

I'm listening a WFMU podcast which features an interview with the Hound, a former FMU dj who lost his New Orleans home and business to the hurricane. It's heartbreaking.
