Tonight we (Kate, Ken K, and I) wandered around downtown PA before settling down at The Rose & Crown for some drinks. Free champagne at midnight, and the drunk guys attempting to shoot the streamers from party-poppers onto the statue of a woman's chest were amusing. It was great to catch up with Ken K and Kate, and the bar was a good atmosphere for ringing in the new year with old friends.

• Moving in with Mo
  
• Moving off campus

• California summer
  
• Not looking the same at 23 as you did at 15
  
• "Uno tinto, por favor"

The Bad:

• Deaths
  
• Cross-country drive
  
• LA rent rates

I think I came out ahead this year.
