New Picture? Like it? Guess who I'm going as for Halloween?

Updates to follow soon.

I am sitting alone in Stone Hall, with tears in my eyes right now. Halloween is my favorite holiday, but my Dissertation proposal is not finished...so here I sit. Halloween is pretty much not going to be enjoyable this year.
