Three school-related emails already. Ew.
I need to look for my Italian textbook + workbook from a year ago. Otherwise I’d have to buy new ones.

Bikram Yoga in February. Wish me luck.
Sister flies back to NY on Wednesday.
Where did time go? School starts on Monday!
Back to Long Beach everyday.
Excited to see familiar faces...
