Since no lyrics suit any developed topic I touch upon, I leave you music-less and just contemplating the beauty of silence.

Now imagine yourself. You walk through a door. There's a red hallway, walls decorated like those old mansion. The lights are dim. The hallway isn't very long. You see that it ends and turns to the left.

Silence.

The door is closed behind you. You know that the only way for you to go is forward. But what waits for you around the corner?

A hall of zombies reaching through doorways, that's what. And a dark room of bunk beds full of sleeping people. You have to walk through them. There's no getting out of it. Your only path is forward. Time doesn't go backwards, and neither will you. Going backwards won't bring you to an exit. Get yourself out.

Ahaha, I'm not suited for horror, or for anything that has to deal with suspense or mystery. But I saw that empty hallway a few minutes into our entrance into the Nightmares Live haunted house on Monday night, and I just panicked. I thought, what is going to come around that corner the moment we step forward? I did have an adventure with Megan, Claire, and Annie, from running for the A, having to pay $1.25 due to forgetting my UH ID (thank goodness I'm still a minor!), walking to Ward Warehouse and eating Menchies after 10 minutes of constant screaming, and having a wonderful camera session in the bus, in front of the school sign, and by various statues around campus. Suffice to say, I was the fraidy-cat who screamed first, and was panicking hereafer.

While that haunted house experience certainly was a unique one (and three of our firsts!), there were other evens that I wish to briefly note:

I got my flu shot last week Thursday!

It was bleeding a bit, and so I changed my bandage. I just pulled one from the container my mother had given to me. When I opened the actual bandage, I was surprised by Blues Clues, hehe. (:

On Saturday I got a new phone and gained the ability to text. Power up!

I also went to the optometrist, and got contacts. Well, I went to the optometrist to have my eyesight examined, and then a prescription so I could get contacts. I'm wearing them right now! I am quite tempted to scratch my eyes. We also went to choir that evening, which wasn't that bad, even though I kind of messed up a bunch playing the piano. Oh dear.

I volunteered at HPH's KidsFest on Sunday morning. I handed out free bags, and had to deal with elderly Asians trying to get more than I was supposed to give. Oh, the craziness of life and how people deal with things being free.

I think that is all of significance that I can remember from of late. I know there was a week that I missed in my recap, which makes me kind of sad, because I know there was a lot that happened that weekend. Or, at least, something significant.

Life is all about perspective! I found it so interesting when the Anthropology we learned to day was directly linked to the same topic in Hawaiian Studies that we are covering, Mea No'eau, something skillfully crafted, the art unit. Hawaiian culture is so amazing. Hula is amazing, too. I regret never really sitting down to watch the Merrie Monarch when it was playing on the television, and my mother and grandmother were watching it.

Math project and Anth paper due on Friday! (: I must press on!
