"If you want to celebrate our graduation with us, come on out, we do not discriminate," she said.

Some seniors are planning already to become frequent patrons at senior events; Sarah H. Bloomberg '00 said she will attend as many events as any possible.

But some seniors were not so lucky to join their classmates last night.

History and Literature concentrators were trying to finish up their senior theses, which are due today.

"I am not going to go. I don't to jinx anything but I will go tomorrow. Thesis first, then job, then graduation," said Elizabeth S. Grossman '00.

Other events planned by the senior class in the next 100 days include a carnival in the Quad, a Boston Marathon tailgate party and trips to Foxwoods Casinos.

Adam D. Colvin '00, a class marshal from Currier House, stood on Widener's steps yesterday for three hours to promote class spirit. But even though he was excited, he said he did have some anxiety as the countdown began.

"I'm totally pumped, but I'm a little afraid of what happens when it's all over," he said.
