I want to say a big thank you to everybody here for giving me such a great opportunity. Everything I have learnt here is invaluable, I've had some highs and some lows, I've got in the way, done some silly stuff, but I hope I have also been there to help people, sometimes.
I've currently got a place at uni but I've chosen to not start until September 2013, I have managed to get a really good job for next year all thanks to this community because I was able to talk about my programming experience at the interview. I've since spoken to the guy who interviewed me and he said this was the only reason he chose me, since academically I was one of the weaker candidates.
Recently my life hasn't been going so well, I've been very ill and trying to cope with exams, but just over a week ago my sister fell over in our kitchen and hit her head, she ended up having emergency brain surgery to remove the blood clot that had become about 1/4 of the size of her head. She spent a week or so in intensive care, she started to recover slowly after a few days, moving around in her bed, it slowly became more evident that she was aware of our presence, moving around more when we were nearby, and then even responding to requests on occasions, a few days ago she started talking, and opened her eyes, since then it has been a quick recovery, she hit her head on the left side, which was where the clot formed, which pressed her brain against the right side of her head, since we control the left side of our body with the right side of our brain she has lost a lot of control of her limbs on that side and her eyes don't move together, but compared to what could have happened it is amazing where she is.
Anyway I didn't want that to be the bulk of what I talk about.
Thank you for all your help, and as is customary:

TLDR; You guys (and gals) are amazing!
See you at 2k!
