From an Iranian student on her blog.  Look for 3:09 PM.

“I will participate in the demonstrations tomorrow. Maybe they will
turn violent. Maybe I will be one of the people who is going to get
killed. I’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’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’m two units away from getting my bachelors
degree but who cares about that. My mind is very chaotic. I wrote these
random sentences for the next generation so they know we were not just
emotional and under peer pressure. So they know that we did everything
we could to create a better future for them. So they know that our
ancestors surrendered to Arabs and Mongols but did not surrender to
despotism. This note is dedicated to tomorrow’s children…”

May the Sacred bless her life and her soul, and others like her, in whatever way is best for them.
