Biography
I'm a slightly non-traditional student, with a GED instead of a highschool diploma, and many years of full-time work experience for my age. I'm interested academically in computer science, the German language, and the more structured parts of linguistics - although I am trying very much to not study linguistics in the absence of social context, my solution to this is more likely to be finding environments in which the social context has little bearing (such as teaching computers to extract meaning).
