Started off my day at 7:00 and dumped a bucket of ice water on myself. This is in participation with the widely spreading, ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and it affects (and slowly 'shuts down') the nerve cells in your brain and your spinal cord, which will eventually paralyze you. In response to Hope and Vaishu, I agreed to do the challenge and spread awareness (for this, you had two options: either dump ice water on yourself or donate $100 to the ALS foundation). In these last few days, the word about ALS has spread far and wide, from normal kids doing it to celebrities to even CEOs like Mark Zuckerburg and Bill Gates. After the challenge, I got ready to go to the temple in order to perform at the Indian Independence Day program. Niyati and I did a medley of 3 songs praising the country, and our costumes resembled the flag itself. After just 2 days of choreographing and only one additional day of actually practicing together, I would have to say the performance turned out to be a success :) After reaching back home, I started to get ready for the dreaded D-Day which was to take place tomorrow. I started to label my notebooks and stocks my binders with paper. At about 8 I started to read the last 20% of my summer reading book, Around the World in 80 Days, which I would definitely recommend, for it is not only easy to understand, but it also has quite an engrossing story line, unlike some other classics you may have come across. I was up until about 12 that night, before I set my alarm for 5:30 (*shrudders*) and went to bed.
