Why Computer Science?

My best friend is currently studying CS at Stanford, so I first decided to take COMP110 because I was tired of being completely lost whenever he talked about programming. I was a little afraid of computer science at first, and I thought that I wouldn't like it very much. After a few of Kris's lectures, though, I was hooked. There's something really cool and satisfying about the logic you use to solve problems in code.
