I am a graduating, non-traditonal college student. My first bachelor's is in History and Spanish. I will pursue a second bachelor's in computer science, carrying a very heavy load it should take 1.5 years.
Besides overstudying I like the outdoors, fiction of all genres and qualities, martial arts, coffeeshops, conversation, excersise, if I can time to relax. Good Luck in your study.
Note: I taught myself C to about an intermediate level, but system programming seemed difficult...probably for good reason. It has other uses but OO languages do it better.
