This weekend I graduated from UC Santa Barbara, officially becoming a Gaucho Alum.
It was a jam-packed weekend full of dinners, graduation parties, pictures, ceremonies, and final nights with friends.

Most academic departments on campus held small receptions for their graduates. My housemate Deniz, who studied Computer Engineering, said hers was catered with gourmet mini quiches, French-inspired hors d'oeuvres, and artisan pastries. My Linguistics reception had some chips and dip, and a store-bought cake with erroneous icing: "Congratulations LINGUSTICS Graduates." (The department that studies language can't even get English right.) UCSB seems to play favorites when doling out party budgets. Regardless, it was a touching little send-off.
It's been a great four years, and I'll miss everyone so much. Now I'm returning home to sleep for three days straight, and eventually worry if fourteen pairs of jeans is overkill as I transplant my life to Spain.
