RO: Mama, ce skin oranj albastru mi-am tras. Ala vechi s-a pierdut pe vecie. Asa ca, va recomand sa va puneti ochelarii de soare inainte de a citi.

So, in essence, semester 2 of faculty makes semester 1 seem trivial. For those who are not yet accustomed to life in a 16-bit nutshell (also known as attending a Computer Science-ish faculty), here are some excerpts from the things I have gathered inside my skull for the past few weeks:

-> It is safe to assume that Computer Science implies a high amount of mathematics (Algebra, Analysis, Dynamic Systems and what not...). Also, in this manner, it is safe to assume that Computer Sceince implies a lot of programming (Pascal, Assembly, C++, and other well known letters of the English alphabet). Naturally, around 10% of the above will actually serve a purpose later on.

-> Google is your friend!!2!! Most of what is taught in faculty can be found in one form or another on the Internet.

-> Coffee is of paramount importance. I, for one, never leave home without a sip. Works well during rainy days and during afternoon seminars.

-> There always is room for worse. Just when you thought the exam session is over, the second one comes knocking at the door (I am referring here to the "mark-increasing-session"; I guess it has something to do with the Bologna system).

And, alas, there are other things to be told about the glorious life of a student in the glorious nation of RO, but on another, less formal, occasion.
