So, my first days of classes went well....sort of. Here's the breakdown:

For my Intro to CpE class, I have Jason Thweatt. He's a good guy, and I know him before -- he's been my faculty advisor for ACO (Academic Competition Organization; think Jeopardy but with students and without the TV cameras). He's a bit hyper, but he seems to know his stuff.
For Intro to Chemistry Part ][, I have Amateis again. No complaints here.
For my Data Structures class, I have a PhD student named Capra. He seems nice enough, but he acts as if we've never passed a CS or math class before. After telling us not to turn in the course policies acceptance form that day (saying we needed time to study it), he spends half the class going over mundane details of the syllabus, like what the Curator is and how to demo with a TA. Then he spends the other half going over simple math stuff, like what an inductive proof was and what the solutions to various finite sums were. For crying out loud, both OOP and Discrete Math were prerequisites for this course! Get with the stuff we haven't seen before.
For Intro to DiffEq, I have John Burns. He seems like a nice guy. Down-to-earth. Practical. And the best things are that 1) almost all of the homework is due online and 2) we don't have to take the common time final (we take his instead). I might like this one.

Today I spent the majority of my time coding HTML and CSS. At first, I was working on a website for my server. Then, jazzfish mentioned that the Spiel website could use an overhaul. So, I stepped in, and, with nixve's guidance, it's ready for further critique. Here's what I've done so far. The links page isn't there yet, and the officers page isn't finished, but the rest is what I plan to put up if people like it. Let me know.
