Rejoice with me, fellows mine!
After seven years of study (long story, not exams problems, normally they are five+thesis) I finally made my bachelor in theology.
Now I can go in the life... wait, I have three more years for the License.
But at last I can work... wait, I'll continue to repair computer
Well, at least now I can fill that space on the wall of my room!

Congratulations Gabriele!  That's a ton of hard work. 
Are you planning on becoming a professor of theology at a university? How does this work in Italy exactly?

Thanks to all for the replies...
@Scott
In Italy there are three grades in the theology (but this is the system of all the Catholic Church): the bachelor, 5 years+minithesis+big oral exam, with which I can teach Religion in all the pre-university schools. Then there is the License, 2 years of exams + big thesis, with which one is licensed to teach theology in a university and last there is the Doctorate of research, a full fledge thesis of research.
@Jean-Carle
I will need at least three more years to shed the chains.
@Sam
More probably a new pair of trousers for my 11th century kit, as the last one deserted me on the field of (dis)honor. At least I will make them as historical as I can.

Yes congratulations and I also thought at first that it was the ditching of a " ball and chain " ( Breaking up with a girlfriend or a divorce as the expression " Bachelor at last " could have referred to one's spouse. ).
You can easily give up your freedom. You have to fight hard to get it back!

Congratulations Gabriele! So, you'll continue with studying for the license? In the Protestant part of the Netherlands, a study of theology usually leads to one becoming a minister (and I don't mean politician). But I guess that's a bit different for Catholics... What do you intend to do with the study?
Jean, looks like there are quite some similarities between marriage and studying. Difference is that being a student is supposed to end.

@Paul: this would be the norm even in here, but now there are more and more people who want to degree in theology for they own studies. Or you can become a professor of Religion in the under-university schools, like I will probably do.
Effectively I was in a Seminary until two years ago, but I was stopped by my rector (apparently I'm not a "leader" and so I can't become a priest), and then I decided not to waste five years of studies, completing them on my own.
@Sam: my parents decided to gift me the new Kindle 3 from Amazon. Now I can read all the e-books about weapons with more confort...
