Hii thanks for setting up this thread! I'm doing OCR and I'm honestly not a fan of the subject, I kinda wish I'd done something like Spanish instead but it's too late to back out now!! I don't find anything particularly challenging (maybe the project, but that's just because I've fallen behind and keep procrastinating), I just kinda think the content is boring.

Sorry to hear it's a bit dull and doesn't feel like a challenge. Is there any aspect of it that does interest you/that you like? :cyber:

heyy everyone. i mostly like CS but it's a challenge since i have never programmed before the course. i would say i'm at an okay programming level right now and the most interesting thing i've done is OOP
