Why did you choose to become a CS Minor: I realized that studying about Catholicism was a common thread in all of my interests and classes, so I thought I may as well be official about it.

If you could be omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, or omnibenevolent, which would it be? I think to be any of them you’d have to be all of them. I’d be content being all of them.
