Hi there, I'm Paul Swanson, AKA, DevastatorIIC. I'm a Computer Science major at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and I've lived in Alaska my entire life. I don't know what I'm gunna do with my major yet, or if I'll even continue with it; I've been considering switching to a math major and becoming a teacher at Eagle River's new high school (opening this fall).
I think Wikipedia is a fantastic idea, and I love to do Wikipedia research (think up a screwball idea, and hunt it down, then go on as many tangents as possible). I've learned a lot this summer!

I think I want to double major in math and CS now. Programming is one of my hobbies, and I'd like to get into the industry for a few years. I would ultimately like to teach math and C++ at a high school somewhere.
