    1. Anytime, love you blog to bits and pieces! I TOTALLY know how grad school is and I would love to do a collab post soon...and definitely something to do with fall :)).

And yes, I adore Castle, I hope Kate says yes! (sorry for gushing, I just love my show haha)

    2. I am in Law School (a.k.a. boot camp), but it is my final year so the light at the end of the tunnel is soon approaching. I cannot believe it - Ezra? No! How? Ugh! I always got this vibe that it has to be the most innocent one like Dan on Gossip Girl. I hope it is not Ezra though. It would hurt. Haha.
