I should have done a livejournal cut but was too lazy.
a real update is coming soon. with pictures. but photobucket was freaking out at me and I have to get up at 7.
I try not to get too into new year's. because then I get nostalgic in my weird way that I think only kate, jaime, and sara understand. because they've all talked about it before. but I'm starting to get nostalgic already. and it's bad.
is it gross that I want the o.c. to be my life?
I'm really excited to go to u of m next year. but then I'm realizing how far away many of my friends are going to be.
I can't believe break is almost over. ahhhhhhhh. where did the time go?
