After a conversation with the program manager, I have submitted all the transfer credit forms. The immediate result of that is that I have about a month with no work to do, and another two with a reduced workload.

The manager decided the "bootcamp" classes were definitely unnecessary, given my studies last year. But she insists that I should re-learn databases and some other stuff formally, so the other classes have to be evaluated properly. (Though the relational algebra didn't get any more complex since I learnt it in high school...)

So classes that are new to you won't start for another month? Did I understand that right?

Well, then. You can take on some interesting programming project for a month or more. Or you can start reading up on the classes that you will take later. Or you can go surfing. Lots of possibilities.

Would it be too weird to find the high performance computing group when I've only been enrolled for a week? Perhaps the trick is not to mention it.

Find interesting people doing interesting things and make yourself useful. Worked for Guy Steele (:

beach: I am hoping to test concurrent hash tables on larger machines with more cores. Not exactly heisig's territory from what I hear.
