Cheers to a great first semester! Glad it went well, especially since you moved to an entirely new area and had to make new friends / connections from scratch (with the exception of your roommate :) ). It's definitely very different from TAMU.
"There were multiple days where I stayed up until 2 - 3 am and worked 12 hours a day just to finish an assignment, but I learned a lot and it was all worth it"
Honestly, the best classes we take tend to follow this scheme 😅 (cough cough networking); I feel like these types of classes mainly are so difficult because the first time you take them you're being exposed to so many new ideas / languages / libraries / techniques / etc. to the point that it will take hours just to learn how to do something simple. But I agree that it definitely is worth it because once you've done it once, now you have a bunch of experience that you can take with you to either other classes or the future
"I’m comparing this relatively to Plano West, where I have met the most cracked group of people"
Yeah, once you meet Jimmy, there's not many other people you can meet who can compare
"As a competitive programmer, this hurts 😭"

Thanks for the write-up and looking forward to next semester's. Might just have to apply in hopes of taking these classes now...
Thanks for such a big comment but yeah cloud computing reminded me a lot of networking. Exposed to ton of new technologies and then had to build something off of it. I would say though with ChatGPT it's much easier. For instance, it would have taken me forever to learn Scala but ChatGPT was able to suggest me the right syntax and logic without having me to figure out what I need. Honestly don't know how I survived networking without ChatGPT...
Yeah, you think your good at something but once you meet Jimmy you get humbled very quickly haha. And once you meet Mark you realize that he's a master disguised as a newbie on codeforces.

Lol cloud computing is the only class I recommend
