CS 240 Rocks

I spent a large part of last week reading every paper ever read in a prior quarter of CS 240. I learned a lot and am very much strengthened in my determination to continue in Systems. CS 240 is probably the best class I have yet taken at Stanford, even if it is a bit intimidating at times. I really like the discussion based format, because there is too little interaction in the CS department in general. I also like the style the class is taught in, and really like the in depth look at the topics involved. How amazing would it be if Stanford would have a class on Virtual Memory, or one on Threading implementations, or just more and more systems classes like this. I want to get involved with Systems at Stanford, but feel like there is very little going on. CS 240 has shown me a glimpse at the world of systems, and I am anxious for more.
