thus far, I haven't taken any courses that rivaled that class in difficulty

Well, you aren't an english major, for one thing...

What, is it so bad to expect a course that's supposed to be the fourth semester programming course to be even a little challenging?

Actually, the high school course was the most difficult because each class was like a 50-minute university lecture. Only there were five a week, instead of two or three. If the amount of reading and writing I did for that class was greater than all other classes in high school combined, I wouldn't be suprised.

Anyway, going over my post again, it seems like I come off as saying high school was completely miserable. Really, only the first half was miserable. The second half, I ended up learning all the matierial I needed to know for all my classes (excepting the AP English class) in the span of a few weeks, and doing whatever I pleased (within some limits) for the rest of the time. Like sleep, play games, read books, write, talk with people who didn't feel like doing work, etc. It also probably helped that I thoroughly 0wned a bully when he picked a fight, and consistently turned a dim-witted jock's verbal abuse against him. Also, the fact that I could do most of the schoolwork in my sleep helped out with some of the kids who had a harder time with various subjects, since I was "nice" and would help them out if they asked. None ever seemed to notice that I never actually gave them the answers....
