(shot along Mariam Way on thursday evening) (as I’m typing this I’m cringing/grimacing at the television while watching the season finale of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on FOX because it’s SO PAINFUL TO WATCH and I’m crying internally) so, I’m left with fifty days before school actually starts; the next chapter of my short-lived life….
