A B.A in Computer Science does seem like an oxymoron, doesn't it? I attend a small liberal arts college with a computer science program; so the program concentrates a lot on real-world application for justice and general worldly good. We're also expected to take a variety of classes that open our horizons; religion, peace/justice, social issues, arts, and so on. I chose this as I think it's important that even though I'm set on computer science, I should realize how many other worlds are out there that are just as in-depth as my own.

Studies and solo, mainly to build my portfolio, but also to familiarize myself with tools. I recognize that I'm at a disadvantage since I haven't as much time to work on my own things, and also to build professional connections. Luckily, I also really enjoy what I do, so it's a little for fun too (:
