OHGAWD THE END IS NEAR

i handed in my second to last essay last wednesday and spent the rest of the week slacking. spain was amazing, i almost cried during the 200th dos de mayo celebration in madrid even though the language was completely lost to me. the performances were really spectacular, i have a video of napoleon rapping. i'll definitely go back with some spanish under my belt, i'm ashamed really of how little i know ESPECIALLY since i have so many spanish-speaking friends that i love dearly!

anyway, have mostly been making lists for various things (things to do in london before leaving, people to see before leaving, things to prepare for job, things to do during the summer, they go on...) and hanging out with dana! we saw a cindy sherman film, officer killers, yesterday at the tate modern. it was good fun, but i was expecting more gore. the talk before it was disappointing and made me miss swarthmore. i miss swarthmore!

SO MUCH that i'll be going to graduation on june 1st. i changed my return date to nyc for may 28th, in time to celebrate my birthday with people who appreciate my existence. may 31st i'll be visiting swarthmore for graduation, returning to nyc day of, which gives me about a week to settle and remind myself of how much i loved newyork/thestates/myformerlife.

but i will miss london dearly. queen mary has been ridiculous, but it's grown on me. mile end too. ahhnoththinkngaboutitnothigaboutittt.
