Week 8

3/17/13 (Sun.) 12:30 AM -- 12:45 AM (In my room) --

I sat down in my room, I heard people celebrating with shouting and firecrackers. It almost made me feel a little bit like there was some sort of riot about to take place. Another thing heard was what I believe to be several cherry bombs being ignited throughout these few minutes, I thought to myself, "This isn't the fourth of July guys." as I was expecting someone to get injured in their drunken stupor. It made me feel a little unsafe, knowing there are intoxicated people running around with what essentially are explosives. Another sound was what I believe was either a motorcycle, or a car that had no muffler on. It was very loud nevertheless and I felt like there couldn't possibly be anything worse. Just then, some people literally started screaming, not the kind of scream like bloody murder, a scream that was obviously someone trying to be funny but either way, it kind of made me feel annoyed. I realized then as well that I don't particularly enjoy St. Paddy's day for those very reasons.
