I will graduate. This is something I've been ready for since November. While I'm getting antsy to dive head-first into my new adventures en Nueva York, there are a few things that I will miss...

-State Street-sans the construction. It makes me sad that I have to share my last weeks of living in this idyllic Madison neighborhood with construction trucks.

-Coffee shops: I don't know why, but I have never had an easy time finding Madison-like, easily accessible coffee shops in Nueva York. This might just require a bit more exploring on my part once I get there...

-The Gilman House. The old @ house has been home to many great friends and many great memories. Never thought I'd be living there my senior year.

-The terrace. The weather has not been conducive to my exploiting the terrace in my last few weeks as a college student in Madison.

-Spring time in Madison. Again, this year's not making it easy for me to get my fill of the springtime activities of bascoming, the terrace, state street, etc. before I take off.

-My friends. I have slowly but surely been weened off of having all of my favorite people living in Madison within 15 minutes of me, but it still makes me sad that once I graduate, there will only be a few stragglers left to hold down the fort for the rare weekend visit. I guess I will just keep plotting to make them all move to New York. While that plan seemed far-fetched about a year ago, it's actually naturally happening before my very eyes, which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

-My family. I will miss having my mom make me delicious home-cooked meals and seeing my brother at least every Tuesday and Thursday in my geography 101 class.

One thing I won't miss is procrastinating writing my Spanish paper by blogging...and on that note, back to mi análisis del graffiti en L.A. y el rocanrol en México...
