It's just bad computer science. Efficiency doesn't matter if your problem is small so the ease of use, endless features, short dev time and security of Wordpress makes it by far the best solution. Not to mention the supposed ineefficiency of Wordpress is due to your own error because nobody complains about Wordpress' performance and is the most deployed blog software for any size website.
BTW just because you're a computer science student doesn't make it an excuse to learn any language under the sun. Good way to spread yourself thin.

Agreed. I personally know a decent amount of html, css, javascript, php etc to make a site from scratch yet for something like this I wouldn't consider wasting the time. Unless the OP plans on being a web developer, which he clearly doesn't given the lack of experience, then using a template is a better way to go.
Reinventing the wheel is rarely the best solution unless of course you plan on going into the wheel making business.
