It’s been a while since I’ve last posted. In that span of time, I’ve finished a movie, ran a week of senior events, finished 3 classes, and prepared to pack up the last four years of my life.

The “premiere” for Yellow Lights went really well. We had somewhere between 150 and 200 people piled into the auditorium to watch the movie. We got a ton of applause at the end of the movie which made me very excited and happy about the prospects of this movie. We still have some fine-tuning and a layer of polish to add to is so that it will be ready for submission to film festivals starting with Sundance in the late summer. Although I’m definitely curious what the reaction will be from audiences who know nothing about Olin.
I’ve been starting to pack my room up and clean the stuff off my walls. It’s a slightly weird feeling, but it still feels like it hasn’t quite me yet that I’m going to be done with Olin. Maybe during the ceremony?? Maybe I just feel like Olin is such a part of me that I’m not actually losing it? Who knows?

On Monday, I’ll be packing up most of my room into a minivan and starting to drive across the country. I’ve never done a road trip of that extent before, so it will definitely be a cool experience. I’m not sure where I’m going to be staying after the first night yet though…

To the Classes of ‘07, ‘08, and ‘09, I have a lot of friends amongst your classes and I look forward to hearing how you guys make Olin even more of an awesome place in the future. Feel free to keep in touch with me. I’ll also be at campus every once in a while, and I plan to be at each of your graduations.

To the Class of 2006, you all are so amazing. I feel so lucky and privileged to have been a part of your class. It’s been great being one of your guys’ Senior Class Reps and I hope you’ve had a fun and enjoyable last week of events leading up to Commencement. I’ll be proud to walk down the aisle tomorrow with all of you and I definitely want to hear what you guys are up to!

My new email address will be kevin.tostado (at) alumni.olin.edu for those who want to stay in touch via email. I’ll be in San Diego for most of June and hopefully in Los Angeles/Hollywood after that.
