The first week of compilers seems like Automata + Programming Languages.We bailed translators once it turned into a math class. But I'm sure you'll love it.
That class is fairly intimidating. The final project will be a few thousand lines of code, and will be a fully working compiler.
It's kind of cool to see stuff show up again and again. This semester I've seen it a lot in my CS courses. Like automata have been showing up in both my classes.
