He gave our final grade by the average he had created on a spreadsheet.

I'd trust what a programmer tells me over a psycho babbling psych teacher any day.
I lived in Silicon Valley for 4 years, and while I did meet a couple of "typical computer nerd types", most of the techies and programmers I met were VERY cool people. Normal and fun-loving, just like the rest of us. I worked in the tech industry, so I was exposed to this kind of life style on a daily basis.
I actually aspire to be a programmer because of my experiences. I'm currently in school, taking the basics, like VB, and Java. I hope to someday be a full fledged c++ programmer.
