The day after graduation I decided to take some drastic measures to highlight the changes not only of my freedom into the "real world," but also to turn over a new leaf for the decade that began a few short days ago. So I cut my hair to the shortest it's been in almost six years.
Before
AfterI'll tell you, the best part about it is that it cut down my shower time by at least half. And now I get to use my Gatsby products - Japanese styling... stuff. I've been able to surprise a few people so far, but unfortunately not all of the reactions have been positive. Namely Jasmin's, since I look like I'm 14 supposedly.
The next day was Christmas, and as-per-usual it was a small family occasion consisting of 6 people and a big dinner. I didn't ask for much, and was able to make out with some great under armor, a 1TB hard drive, and some GRE study books among other things. Eventually I decided to get a few things done, and I sort of forgot it was even Christmas. haha But it was relaxing, and fun. It's too bad Jasmin was still in Guam, I missed her!
Finally Jasmin got back home two days later and it was happy times again! We exchanged presents, Jasmin receiving Christmas and birthday presents from my family, and me receiving an awesome watch from Jasmin's parents for graduation. Wow, I'm really going to have to thank them. Jasmin caught me up on what she did in Guam and how her brother's wedding went, and I bored her with a play-by-play description of my exams and the sleeping I did afterward.
It was a slow and uneventful week leading up the New Year's Eve. We had plans to do something big with our friend Gary, like going into DC or Baltimore to celebrate at a club. We found good places through some quick research too. However, meanwhile some other friends of ours were planning their own party and Jasmin and I decided to go to that one, where we'd know almost everyone. The party was at our friend Winston's house and we were there from around 8 until 2. When the countdown came, we were in the middle of charades and stopped for exactly 10 seconds to celebrate 2010. Then we went right back to playing. Hurrah. Gary, luckily, made plans of his own and we didn't have to feel guilty about leaving him behind.
The next day Jasmin and I went to a family friends' New Year's party that they have every year. Food is always plentiful and great there, and it's packed with interesting people, but we go mainly because we're close to the family and the kids are essentially our cousins. I was FINALLY able to bring Jasmin here (being our second New Year's together), since she has always spent the holiday on Guam, and I think she enjoyed herself.
And you know what else she always spent in Guam? Her birthday, on the 2nd!! Stay tuned for that blog, yo.
OMG your hair!!!!!!
