"Giselle" ballet has been spectacular. I must say, San Francisco ballet is one of the best ones I've seen so far. The dancers are incredible: so expressive and amazingly talented. It was my first time at "Giselle" in my life, so I was not prepared at all for the second act with willis, and it scared me quite a lot. Never have I thought that a group of beautiful ballerinas in white wedding dresses and veils could look so dark and disturbing. Here is a picture from an older performance:
But inspite of the darkness of the ballet, I completely loved it :)
Today I went to a graduation celebration that our university president has set up for some students at his on campus residence, and it was so beautiful there! Christmas lights, numerous poinsettia plants everywhere, red tableclothes, xmas cookies, and cute cocker spaniel running around. The amazing thing of all, they had 3 chocolate fountains there! Felt like a fairy tale, because in real life there are no chocolate fountains. Then it finally hit me: Christmas is almost at the door, and my graduation is running right in front of it!
Oh-oh! It's also December 1, a new month already.
