Well it all depends on your college but a lot of places will have you do C++ or Java because let's face it that's where the market is. I think you should learn Python, it is great to begin with. It is short simple and easy. I'm not quite sure about botnets but pygame Is supposedly very easy. Python is a great introduction to logic and just programming in general and once you understand the basic's it's easy to create GUI's etc. Also after a while you will find that if you have an idea there is more often then not a way to do it in python. If you do choose to learn Python I will be glad to help you on whatever it is your goals are. If this is your first experience with real programming, I strongly suggest Python.
