You don't have to show it through projects, though you can do some minimal contribution to existing projects and that'll count.
You can specify the types of things you do or read about, for example.

Algorithms can be confusing if you haven't really done them before.  Though if you're doing computer science, you should get comfortable with them cause you're probably only going to get more...

He said VB.NET which is basically an alternate syntax for C#, not the older version of VB.

I haven't even gotten around to doing things like this, just math, math and MOAR MATH (then again I only did 3 courses in my term due to my chocolatety choice to switch majors). This is why comp sci at my uni sucks, should've just stayed with their traditional sciences (where they are 1337 in) than try out their take on computer science.

Hopefully I see stuff like this later on in my year :/

Computer science is somewhat more geared to maths, algorithms, abstractions etc - it isn't particularly that practical, so don't expect to do too much of that sort of thing...
