lara by night

i'm so ready to go back to school and start the semester. i have a feeling it's going to be an amazing one. sadly, it is many of my senior friend's last here at school. but i guess that gives us all the more reason to make it better than ever.
i'll be spending the day packing, listening to the moulin rouge soundtrack, and staying warm during the coldest day of the year (ie. lots of hot chocolate).
