Yesterday I decided to leave the monotomy of home vacation life and go to the mall on the last day of Christmas break. Yay, what a relief, cramming in some fun before back to torturous school, right? So Casey, Laura, and I headed out, driven by my mother since nobody has their license yet. Not too eventful ride there, perhaps the most ( Read more... )
