It'd be what you made it. I went back for a CS degree long after having coded for years and there were certainly things I would have had to sit around and wait for others to catch up on if I let it. But instead I always pushed myself to build much more sophisticated versions of the basic things we were learning and I also tutored, which is where it really becomes not boring, because you get to see how other people learn things in different ways, which broadens your own perspective, as well.

So basically I'm just trying to say it's up to you to make things not boring
