CS 520 is the Devil

Well I must come to the conclusion that CS 520 is evil pure and simple. What's CS 520 you ask? It's a course titled "An Introduction to the Theory of Computation". What a mouthful! This course is a "joy". We are learning about fun stuff like Finite State Automata, Regular Languages, and Regular Expressions. While this stuff isn't so bad the assignments are a pain in the neck. We get to prove obvious stuff like r + s = s + r where r and s are regular expressions. This proof is either really hard or trivial to the point it's stupid.

The homework this week only has like 20 problems in which you need to rigorously prove a bunch of stuff. This fact leads me to the theorem;

"CS 520 is the Devil"

Now if I could only come up with valid proof...
