Graduating from college this week

So I've been in college almost as long as I've been a part of the Morrowind Modding community and this week I'm finally graduating!
(10 years in college for two degrees)
I'm getting my bachelors in Computer Science and Mathematics and going out to Santa Barbara to do robotics and machine learning for a company there (been interning there for two years).
Just wanted to say, thanks for being such an awesome community. I'm glad to be a part of OpenMW and the Morrowind community. We're pretty good as far as communities go. I feel lucky to be apart of something so cool with so many smart and talented people.
Cheers!

Seriously though, congratulations! Ten years is a lot of time.

@Lysol: Thank you!
@Drummyfish: Thanks! Yeah, that's why it took me so long to finish. I didn't see the use in a math degree by itself so I took two years off of school until I went back to the engineering department for CS. Math was definitely my first passion.

To add to this already great month, my girlfriend's dad, Larry Martin, just won the Jeopardy Teachers Tournament! Woo! Go, Larry go!

Congratulations, Greendogo! I think it says something great about this community its members choose to post this sort of news here
I spent 4 years in undergrad and this year marked 4 years since my graduation. However, I'm now working on a master's in CS so I'm a student again for a little while to come.
I gave up on even getting a minor in mathematics in undergrad, although I believe I was only short one class
