Guess
what.
ONE
MORE MONTH.
Get
Excited !
Also,
am going to play waterpolo in virginia this weekend.
It's my third weekend not spent in the dorm.
Tiring, but definitely fun!
Played
Bach Gminor Fugue for my first departmental recital yesterday.
It was blah.
We
sightread Beethoven's 5th Symphony during orchestra rehearsal yesterday too.
It was as bad as sightreading could get ): I was really frustrated.
It's Beethoven's 5th! Faints.

1.
D.C. over the weekend was crazy! :D Pictures will be up in due time.
2.
Last night, we drove to marie's house on a farm, lay out a huge sheet of plastic
on the grass next to a lake
and watched the meteor shower with hot chocolate and popcorn.
3.
I did well for my econ test! What a pleasant surprise!! Jump for joy.
4.
Things are getting so much better from last week, including the weather.
Last week's forecast on the Daily Tar Heel included "dreary" and
"dreadfully dreary".
This week, Monday was "fairly radiant" and Tuesday "blissful".
What a laugh (:
5.
Been getting emails from people <3
Will reply next week over thanksgiving break!!
Thank you for making my time here much more bearable. Haha.
6.
My brother needs to grow up and have some sense knocked into him.
I hope you had a good birthday disregarding the family.
7.
I'm so tired of gays, chauvinistic pigs, vulgar jocks, overly-effeminate behaviours,
elitist snobs and the screwed-up blah.
What has the male species come to?

Looks
like hell has only just begun )': so many things going wrong.
A brief respite:
Life
can show no mercy
It can tear your soul apart
It can make you feel like you‘ve gone crazy
But you're not
Things have seemed to changed
There's one thing that's still the same
In my heart you have remained
And we can fly fly fly away
“
要记得：明天会更好。”

At
11.38AM, they were playing the Eroica horn fanfare and I was reminded of how
the AYO horn players used to play it after random rehearsals / every concert.
Sentimental moment, awww.
Tomorrow
will be hell ): I have two music tests, a psychology test, a french redaction
due, a violin masterclass, and classes all through morning and afternoon.
And today I had the worst violin lesson ever. I don't know what happened.
Cheer me up, somebody.

The
past weekend was spent in Greensboro - a town an hour's drive away from Chapel
Hill.
I took part in a small competition for the sake of having something to work
towards to.
It
turned out to be a really good trip,
even more so because I stayed at Elvira's (a Bosnian hallmate) house.
To
have had home-cooked meals with her and her parents, watched tv ( I haven't
touched a remote control in months! ),
slept on a big bed, and even had someone 帮我盖被 while
i was sleeping..
I think this was probably the closest to home I've ever felt. Was so extremely
touched.
Thank you for the wonderful weekend.

Franklin
Street is most notable for its Halloween celebration, which occurs annually
on October 31. Tens of thousands of all age groups attend the event each year;
nearly 80,000 attended in 2004 through 2007. The event is not town-sponsored
and the town actually discourages out-of-towners from attending; yet, an influx
of non-residents descend on the town each year despite the town's suggestion.
In
an attempt to promote order during the event, the Town of Chapel Hill now
closes the street to traffic after 8:00 p.m. on Halloween and directs visitors
to satellite parking decks around the town, from where buses used to shuttle
tourists to the main event area. Attendees of the event typically dress in
costume and stroll Franklin Street enjoying the wide array of festive atire
and snapping photos. Due to the cost and security concerns of the event, Chapel
Hill has attempted to discourage the event in recent years.
In
2008, Chapel Hill promoted a "Homegrown Halloween" which would only
include locals and not out-of-towners; those from outside Chapel Hill were
discouraged from attending. The town requested that Chapel Hill Transit not
run shuttle buses from park-and-ride lots as it had done in past years, and
Duke University students agreed not to send a bus as they had traditionally
done. Bars charged cover fees and alcohol sales were restricted after 1 A.M.The
strategy resulted in only about 35,000 revelers for the 2008 Halloween celebrations.

Just
to share a few of my sightings on Franklin last night!
