Oh we have no bananas...

We have no bananas today

So the *excitement* but I might as well document the impulsiveness that has dominated my decision-making lately lol. I didn't have my butt in gear and I didn't buy an online ticket for Schwanensee so I lost alot of sleep on Thursday night dreaming about how I was missing an opportunity. Now here's where the impulsiveness comes into play...I didn't spend my time doing much homework yesterday morning, rather I went into the stadtmitte and bought myself a ticket to Schwanensee for 36,30 Euros--that's not cheap. Then I was doing my finance/budget sheets in Excel and somehow I have 11 Euros less than I'm "supposed" to have, which really is bothersome. I tell myself not to worry about such things in the hopes that something will suddenly occur to me that I forgot to add to the list, but I still worry. So tomorrow I get to go through my receipts...plus I have been inconsistent in what costs I include/don't include, so it's time to be less hasty and more consistent otherwise I'll go crazy. It's so much easier to live at home lol. Okay, so back to Schwanensee...I got all "dressed-up", which in comparison to many of the other people was really rather low-key but oh well. I spent a ridiculous amount of money to put my coat in the garderobe--okay that wasn't expensive--but the program cost 8 Euros (!) totally ridiculous. I wasn't going to buy it but then I thought it's a once in a lifetime thing and it looked pretty fancy lol. Thus my money continues to fly out the window *sigh*. The Ballet was amazing though...the prima ballerina is my age if you can believe it and the male ballerinas are always so impressive to watch because they can jump so high in the air, do four+ pirouettes no problem and they can do an impressive number of beats, etc....yeah, so I'm impressed by dancers. They always make it look so easy and sometimes I couldn't help but to think how much it should be hurting their feet to dance so much en pointe lol. Costumes were exciting...I would have to say my favourite was the Queen's dress although it wasn't very practical for dancing...then probably the spanish tarantella dancers costumes and the dresses of the potential brides (very cool). But enough of that. I was bad and brought a water bottle with me though it was probably a very good thing because in the intermission my face was beet-red. So I went to the handicapped bathroom (there was no one in sight--I wouldn't take it away from a person who need to use it) and I forced myself to drink a couple water bottles worth of water until I felt like throwing up. Let me tell you , last night I made frequent visits to the washroom because of all the water I drank yesterday in general...but it's all good. I survived my experiences alone at the Ballet, albeit a bit poorer now and today I'm going to visit a new friend to celebrate Silvester at her house near Stuttgart. Should be *interesting* if nothing else. Happy New Years!

No bananas

It's so random and I like it that way ;-p People really can't expect to see much of anything here. I just thought now I can write a commentary to Bean and that's why I'm here. Looks like it will take a while to develop some *blogging* skills. Or I could write in German and confuse the next random person who randomly chances upon my masterpiece...or not. Aber ich muss eigentlich mein Referat fuer Muendliche Sprachfertigkeit vorbereiten und es kommt immer was dazwischen--wahrscheinlich nicht immer zufaellig ;-p *whoops* Weihnachten war echt schoen...habe die Brehm Familie besucht und es hat Spass gemacht. Gibt's immer so viel zum Essen und natuerlich war ich in feiner Gesellschaft. Jetzt ist leider alles vorbei und nur die Hausaufgaben bleibt immer vor mir. Zum Glueck hat niemand gesagt, dass das Leben irgendwie fair ist...das waere einen Witz. Was ich net verstehe, ist warum man nach etwas Gutes meistens traurig ist...sollte man nicht eigentlich gluecklich sein? Dann muss man schnell etwas anderes glueckliches finden oder man wuerde sich immer einsam und traurig fuehlen...aber was weiss ich? Ich kenne jemanden schon, der mich gluecklich macht...er ist echt cool...wuerde jeder Person empfehlen, ihn kennenzulernen weil er immer einen begleitet und fuer einen sorgt...total cool meiner Meinung nach. Hast du eine Ahnung? Gold star for you ;-p Also, jetzt sollte ich eigentlich schluss machen. Bis bald.
