Not so far behind, after all

I majored in Physics in college and not Computer Science, so when I got my first job as a programmer, about 4 years after I graduated, and my boss, a couple of years younger than me, started talking about "design patterns," I was sure that I had missed out on a lot by skipping computers in college. Later, when I started to encounter Unified Modeling Language (UML), I was once again hit with this feeling of inadequacy. Now, I'm on a "find out what I've been missing" kick, because I've discovered that I didn't know about design patterns when I was in college is because they didn't freakin' exist yet! Ditto for UML, but I'm picking them both up pretty quick.
