<p>WAHOOO, UMDAD!!! Patience is what they should give away at the hospital when you bring home your child!!! It’s needed even more than diapers and baby lotion!! :)</p>

<p>Congrats! S#1 here is about 7 years in and will get a BA very soon, it seems. He has taken classes at different schools while living at home and moved with us (requiring a change of CC) so the “school count” is very high.</p>

<p>My dad used to joke about my brother that he should write a book called “College: The First 10 Years”.</p>

<p>Even he ultimately graduated and became a productive member of society.</p>

<p>Sounds like a favorite line from Animal House: College. Seven years wasted.</p>

<p>UMDAD, a celebration is in order!</p>

<p>Very cool!</p>

<p>Well they do say that graduating from college early is like leaving a great party at 11:00 p.m.</p>

<p>S1 stuck around until 5:00 a.m.</p>

<p>Congratulations! It took my niece 2 schools and 10 years to graduate from college, but she made it also.</p>

<p>Ooooh, this makes me happy–there’s hope! (says the mom whose S left in his senior year, five years ago…) Congrats to you and your S, UMdad!</p>
