Yeah, by now it's all white outside and it's still snowing. It's so awesome! Real live snow! I'm so glad to be out of California! posted by Melike at 09:53
Today was a pretty good day. I woke up at 8, and started and finished my last problem set of the semester. Then, I took a math test which went really well... but I'm trying to keep my hopes low so I won't be disappointed by my score. Then, I went to the market to get a few ingredients for the spinach-cheese pastries I want to bake sometime this weekend. Then I went to this one-hour talk by the founder of the Boston Baroque Orchestra. He talked about Bach's suites and made us listen to some examples. It was pretty interesting. Then there was a dinner afterwards, and then I rushed over to the MITSO concert (MIT Symphony Orchestra... everything's an acronym here). There was a world premier piece which was pretty cool, and then this violin concerto, and the featured soloist is the guy who sometimes sits next to me in my music theory class! He was SO good!!! Now I think of all those times he sat next to me and feel humbled. He saw me after the concert, too, and said hi. Damn, he's my new hero. After that I went to the student center and listened to this acoustic band which was pretty nice. Their cd was $3.00 so I bought one. And that's it for today. Oh yeah and it's snowing right now. Everyone's really happy. It's pretty. posted by Melike at 00:02

I've noticed that I've started going to bed earlier and waking up earlier. I think it works, because in the evenings I'm too tired and distracted by everything to do work properly. This morning I started and finished a problem set. The last one due this term.. hooray! Next term I want to bombard my life with classes and work, but I doubt that I'm capable of handling it... :( But damn it, there are so many classes to take!!! posted by Melike at 11:01

hmm....
...why are my hands trembling? I can't hold a piece of paper. haha I'm going to bed. posted by Melike at 21:04
eh
I don't know what to think of today, whether to be happy or sad or neither. I think about things and my feelings about them are different every time. This frustrates me. Anyway, all I can say is that I can't wait until tomorrow afternoon. Tonight I'm going to the last monthly "forum" for chemistry. They take a group of volunteers each month to talk to our chem lecturers and eat pizza. It seems like fun; besides, I had a pizza craving the other day. posted by Melike at 15:29

Today in the beginning of the music class, the teacher calmly said, "We don't have much to do today, so we're going to end the class early. As you can see I burned myself pretty badly this morning so I'm going to the emergency room after this." Then he showed us his hand, and it had a huge scar and skin was peeling off of it and it was the most disgusting thing I'd seen since the other day when my uncle sent me a picture of monkey roadkill. Then he conducted class, writing on the board using his burnt hand, and I was pretty much traumatized. Today I woke up an hour before my alarm, so I read a chapter of chemistry. In lecture, we talked about the exact same thing I'd read and had a hard time understanding, so it was perfect. posted by Melike at 16:05

Hey, I'm going to bed RIGHT NOW. I'm soo tired. I have a lot of work that needs to be done by tomorrow night, but I figured right now the best option for me would be to go to bed immediately and wake up earlyish tomorrow. So tonight Jonathan and I went to a Turkish restaurant I found in Google. It's the only one in Boston, if you don't count the other one that's onlyfor lunch. Anyway, we shared three Turkish dishes and a k�nefe. We were stuffed! It was good food. We'll probably go there again, but not anytime soon. Before that, we had our "juries" for concert choir, which was basically octet testing to see if we knew the pieces we learned over the semester. Ew, the girl next to me was 2 measures ahead of everyone else, sharp, and too loud to notice all of this. It's all good, though. posted by Melike at 23:15
ew, windy again
Some days, when I don't like my outfit, I go back to my room during lunch and change into something better. Today was one of those days again. Other than that, I'm having a bad hair day, but it's all good because I'm wearing a better outfit right now than what I was wearing before. They cancel each other out. Besides, my eyeshadow matches my sweater, which is always a plus. posted by Melike at 12:43
