Me and my Major

I am an international computer science student at a pretty reputed university. Like most of the big universities, my school also tries to keep me busy with load of projects. If I am taking more than one big programming classes, its a nightmare. As usual, it is happening to me this semester. Sometimes I get so busy that I only have time to have one quick meal per day.
I pay for my own tuition, for that I work as an intern at a local publishing company as a programmer. I am very lucky my work schedule is flexible and I can chose my own hours in a day. Still, sometimes I don't go to my work just because of my projects at school. Being a computer science major is hard for me from all perspectives, financially, physically, mentally and so on. Though it is hard for me I still manage to go to the weight room twice a week. I want to be a computer scientist without being a nerd. I seldom see a computer science student hitting the gym. I sometimes feel that I am not a good CS student by going there.
People depict computer scientists as boring loners who spends most of his time staring at the computer. I simply don't want to be a stereotype computer scientist but now I know how hard is not to be one.
