HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Alright, so it’s a bit belated.  I’m finally back at Mount Holyoke for the rest of January and the next semester.  After finals, I spent a couple days in New York, a couple days in Williamsburg with the fam, and a couple days back home in NoVa (Northern Virginia/DC). I’m here now working sporadically at Student Programs, pondering my next steps after graduation, and hanging out…here, and there and possibly Boston and NYC.

in dc i spent lovely time with annie and kimmie at peking gourmet, cafe citron in dc, majestic, and later a&js in annandale. (^im growing my shaved part out, as you can see. i’m like three inches out woo!)

Cafe Citron was cute.  When we first got in though (no wait, friendly bouncers), it was kind of crappy.  Obnoxious Latin music and a tired crowd.  We climbed a rickety staircase to the bathroom.  Same ickiness upstairs.  Came back down, and then some friends of ours saw some friends of theirs and then all of a sudden we were whisked away to another wing(?) of Cafe Citron.  Out the club through another door, underneath a curtain and up a staircase was a whole different club!! (but still Cafe Citron…weird, i know…or maybe i am not remembering this correctly…).  This place was poppin’ with fresher beats, a mixed (!!) and moving crowd, and bongo drums!  I put exclamation marks with mixed because with DC clubbing, all the places I’ve been to seem to be chock-full of Asians.  Not that I really mind that (in fact, sometimes i like it–remember Hiro in NYC?) but a bit of mix once in a while keep things fun.  It was 12am and I had already had quite a run at Majestic Bar…so everything is a bit vague for me to remember at Cafe Citron…but I just remember dancing, banging on the bongo drums, running out into the smoking area, and dancing some more.  All in all a fun night.  i give Cafe Citron a 7/10.

^my jam.

Anyway, it just snowstormed here in Western Massachusetts. The snow is knee deep and it’s STILL SNOWING. blargh.  I made my way in my over-the-knee leather boots (that probably arent waterproof and shouldn’t touch water) to my office in Blanchard for Student Programs, set on working my hours (since I missed my last shift…).  My FIRST official day at work this year and this snowstorm…there’s not a soul in the office so I’m writing this blog post, reading fashion blogs. listening to music on youtube, and sporadically replying to ECAASU emails.  IM SO STRESSED.  I’m also down with a little something I think.  I havent eaten in three days just because I’m not hungry…I feel a little dizzy and tingly and tired and hot and cold and nauseous.  i have no idea what’s wrong though, and I’m not taking any medication…so i hope this will just go away already x___x

Anyway, sorry i’m bad at updating the blog.

I know what’s been mad, you really don’t
Try to hold a light to me, I’m a lady
Got my mind made up
