Today's the Day!

At 6pm west coast time, I'll be DONE with my last

final and officially a UCLA senior! This is crazy crazy

crazy. It's going to be my last summer as an undergraduate.

And if I play my cards right, it'll be my last summer with

braces. Score!

This year has gone by so fast. It seems like just yesterday

that I was starting my first week here, unsure of what

Powell or Royce was. Now, I've become quite accustomed

to my academic home. I'm a little nostalgic about the

thought of leaving it, desperately contemplating a

double major in French so that I could stay an extra

year. But, that doesn't seem feasible... So... I'll be

graduating in the spring of 2011.

But, there's pretty cool things that I'm planning for my

senior year. I'm the current vice-president of the

English Dept honor society, so there'll be a lot of

nerdy opportunities for me. I'm also planning to

take first year Italian as well, as a way to make myself

more competitive for grad school. They like it

if you have your hands in two foreign languages

besides English. And even if I don't go to grad school,

I'll still learn quite a bit of Italian. I don't see that

as being a detriment in the least, ya feel me?

That'll just make me an excellent traveling companion

when in Europe. My father speaks German and

wanted me to learn it, but I think that Italian would

make me much more competitive.

So, that's what's going on with me. I should go now.

My final is an hour and a half! Woo! Freedom, here I

come!
