LJ Idol: Week 0 - Introduction

[buddyhollylover]

I guess it'd be appropriate to start with my name and a little info about me before going on to more pressing issues. My name is Scott and I'm a recent Computer Science graduate. Oh Boy, it took me quite a bit longer to graduate from college than most people. And by a little longer I mean nine years. That's right, nine years to get a bachelors

The first time I tried to comment on this, your ingeniousness crashed my computer. It now seems to have come to terms with your cleverness.

Good luck with LJ Idol! I mean.. Shake Rattle & Roll!

Okay, it's not a Buddy Holly original, but it's the most appropriate song title of his to this post.

I know The Great One would approve even if it wasn't an original!

I got really into Buddy Holly in high school, which was only one indication of my inherent weirdness. Good luck with the job hunt! Nearly everyone I know is in IT, since my area has a ton of it- lots of jobs here if you ever wanted to live in North Carolina :D Looking forward to your entries!

I like the story behind your username. :)

Okay, so 9 consecutive years in school? Or with breaks at times? I'm still working on my B.S. and I've so far done about 4 years and have at least 3 to go, but count that I started at 18 and am currently 27 (birthday this summer), I'm going on nearly 10 years since starting. My goal is to finish by the time I'm 30, lol.

There was a break of a few years in there. I think it was probably around 7 years total. Three of which were complete laziness and failing though.

Aha, so we are very much alike (I flunked out the first time, preferred to work for money)
