This is a common misnomer in the CS undergraduate field. If you become a programmer, one day, chances are you won't be programming GUI's. For example, we had 10 programmers in my team at one point. 1 of those guys was the GUI guy, and the other 9, myself included, got to work on the backend code, such as network connectivity, model representation, preference setting, etc. So don't rest your laurels on being able to create a Java applet. Instead, focus on the fundamentals of programming, and pay attention in your theory classes!
