i just wanted to blog so that i can remember how amazing today's lunchtime concert was. gary ryan, the guitarist who performed, was so fantastically brilliant! all of us especially enjoyed the encore piece, which he composed after he brought his daughter out to the sea for the first time. he said it was a very nostalgic piece for him, and to me, his music certainly drew out the sweet beauty of his memories. i can't exactly describe what it feels like, to take in the euphonic melodies that resounded throughout the entire lecture theatre, and to experience that magic in the air, but somehow listening to that piece made me feel like crying. there was this sadness underlying the harmonious tunes; perhaps memories are always associated with that same tinge of melancholy.
it was ephemeral, yet impeccable. a pity i'll probably never ever hear this same piece of music again in my entire life, but i guess the knowledge that i was listening to something for the first and possibly last time made it even more captivating.
so today's a great day! apart from how sleepy i was during the morning lectures, the lunchtime concert saved me from being sleepy for the rest of the day! im very proud of myself because i managed to memorize the structures of my 20 amino acids today! today also marks the start of a 2-week study break for me. don't be envious, i'm supposed to be mugging for my exam! there's an awful lot to study, i don't know where to begin, and for now i just hope i'll still remember my 20 amino acids when i wake up tomorrow morning.
