The Girl on the Other Coast: April 13, 2013

Here we go again! Another collaborative post with my west coast friend, G. We'll take a little peek at what's going on in California in the form of a little list this time. Curious how my east coast list compares? (Humor me. Pretend you're curious.) Take a virtual voyage to Little Italy and find out!

3. Celebrating the hard work of so many students on Monday night's Academic Letter Awards Celebration - and being the one to announce the names of the Senior Class.
