HCI class this semester: awesome!

So, I am currently on the last track for my bachelor's degree. Thinking about it, it's been a pretty fast time. It feels like I just started this degree only 3 months ago. Anyways, I am really excited being on the last leg but also very anxious as well.

There's a lot I'd like to do after my bachelor's degree. Mostly in the academic world. I believe that universities offer the best environment to do amazing things (inventing, creating, enhancing existing stuff). For that I would strongly like to continue with my masters degree and hopefully a PhD afterwards. Well, it all depends on available finances (scholarships, bursaries, grants, etc...) and we'll see.

Anyways, being anxious about the end does not stop me from being very excited about some of the last classes I will be taking during my last semester. I will be taking a distributed systems class (really cool stuff there, I must admit) and even cooler, I will be taking an HCI (Human Computer Interaction) class. This excites me even more. I've always wanted to do something related to HCI. After all, what's the point of us computer scientists / software engineers creating all this software we think is really cool if users hate it an do not even find it useful despite all the functionality included in it. Even better, HCI has to do with everything else I wish to research on in the future: AI (Artificial Intelligence) coupled with Robotics at some point.

Anyways, let's see how the semester goes. But I have the feeling it's going to be awesome!
