Beginning Stages of Summer

It's been awhile! Summer's been alright so far--with the weather being gloomy then hot (in the same day) it's like a roller coaster! Summer school started today, sadly. Came back to my car with a $60 parking ticket--even more sad; & $114 for a new parking permit. Fees everywhere! But on a lighter note, here are a couple of photos of break so far- :)



Me & Coco at Bruxie in Old Town Orange

I realize I totally threw together a super long post, but I'll be trying to post more regularly & shorten each one. But yes, this is summer as of now~
