So, I’m going out dancing tonight. YES! The last time I went out dancing was four months ago when we had so much fun we swore we’d do it at LEAST once a month.

In my six weeks of living here in Northampton, I have eaten at three places: my home, my neighbor’s home, and Esselon Cafe in Hadley. A few of my new friends and I went there the other night and, though I was originally hesitant because, OMG, there are so many great places here [...]
