hey guys!

i just realized that I haven’t made any updates recently on the blog about my life!

so

so I went to the Broad, the new free art museum in LA, and it was the coolest thing ever! its only art from post WWII , and its pretty modern works and I went there recently for the infinity light room , which is probably the most peaceful thing I have ever experienced.

and then….

i took a tour of Loyola Marymount University , a local Jesuit University, and I found it very peaceful and beautiful.

and next:

I GOT MY PERMIT (in november, but still man its exciting!)

and I went to malibu and took pictures with my monogram

and this week at my school we have an activity called Kris Kinds, which is basically an all week secret santa, so about $3-$5 gifts everyday, but on friday its like a “big” gift which is like $20, but it really fun and I got really good gifts! and my school is SO pretty omg! Its all decked out for XMAS!

so I guess that is pretty much all of it
