What Kimberly did this year...

Pretty much nothing new...

I'm currently still a student at UCLA, still trying to change my major to economics. I'm still working at ERA (Economics Research Associates) as an Accounts Payable Assistant. I saw Lion King, Chicago, Mamma Mia, and Wicked (for the third time!). I still spend most of my time with Andy...hmm...I think that's about it...
