If I only had a mathematical brain...

I'd love to program.  I really would.  But my mind isn't cut out for it.  I've seen people who think mathematically, and I'm not one of them.  I keep  getting stuck on Trig due the to stress from each lesson that adds on top of the previous lesson.  Inane equations within equations, combined with my short memory span and occasional absent-minded backwards thinking means I have to try three times harder than someone who has math "come naturally" to them.  Instead, I have a more creative mind, endlessly thinking and imagining.  I believe this the opposite end of some spectrum, as these math wizards I've met seem to be less creative and more mechanical in thinking.

I was thinking of Game Designer as a possible option, as I can appreciate programming and understand it overall, but can't do the code for shit.  But with creativity I could create a design that programmers can work with.  The only problem is I'll be trying to work in a computer field without a CS degree, and would get little respect for not knowing the details of what a programmer is talking about.

That's so that other objects know your custom list can be sorted. You don't _have_ to implement it; you can design half a dozen lists all with their own weirdly named sorting functions if you feel like it. Just don't expect to be able to use them where you could use other lists. "implements Sortable" is two tokens you lazy git, hardly constitutes bloat :P

People have some weird arguments against Java. Mine is simply that it's boooring. It's a language designed for mediochre programmers rather than smart programmers. That's why they teach it to the inferior students at inferior institutions such as mine. Most of the people I know are literally frightened of C.
"The assignment for this module will be in C."
"AAHHHH"
"Which of course means you'll be using Unix"
"AARRRRGGGH"

I can't see the point of learning to program at all if you're never going to try out new languages. Bah.
