Maybe they will turn violent. Maybe I will be one of the people who is going to get killed. I&#8217;m listening to all my favorite music. I even want to dance to a few songs. I always wanted to have very narrow eyebrows. Yes, maybe I will go to the salon before I go tomorrow! There are a few great movie scenes that I also have to see. I should drop by the library, too. It&#8217;s worth to read the poems of Forough and Shamloo again. All family pictures have to be reviewed, too. I have to call my friends as well to say goodbye. All I have are two bookshelves which I told my family who should receive them. I&#8217;m two units away from getting my bachelors degree but who cares about that. My mind is very chaotic.
