Today I “quit” (formally) my math studies and became a computer science student instead. While my next term will officially be my 6th term in CS, I will be doing my finals and then start writing my thesis (which you usually do somewhere in your 9th-11th term).

I have in fact been studying CS longer than that, but I also wanted to do math (mostly because CS was too boring for me most of the time, and math provided a higher challenge) - and instead of formally doing both (which would have required finding out specific formalities noone knows, and maybe paying some extra money) I went with math for a long time.

Now that I was approaching final exams for both math and computer science, I had to decide: do math, do CS or do both. Being lazy (and wanting to finish as soon as possible now) I decided to pick the easiest - computer science.

My diploma topic will be very mathematical, though - a special logic for reasoning on the web, so it’s logic, web 3.0 and theoretical computer science combined. Sweet.

I guess it really doesn’t matter that I don’t end up with two degrees, given all my other qualifications. :-)
