Welcome to my purple world...

School was actually fun! (I don't sound like myself.....)

Yay! Vacation is finally over! I would never say that, but my 'Ski week' was horrible. Every day I would wake up at (or past) midday, I would have my breakfast/lunch and I would spend the whole day playing minecraft, watching the dumbest YouTube videos and skyping my cousin.... My mum would always tell me to go outside, but I would refuse. She made me go shopping with her twice. The first time it was very cold and it was snowing. The second time we, according to my mum, were 'just going to go to the city centre, come back and buy some food', but our 'little walk' took us three hours. By the time we got home, it was past 6, so all the food shops were closed...
On Sunday, I went to Lausanne to watch ballet. I thought  Mum never told me about that, but she said that she got the tickets in December and would tell me quite often. For me, it was a surprise.
I didn't get mad at first. I love ballet! I even started looking forward to that trip, but it ended up being something totally unexpected.
Mum found this website with all the information about what we were going to see. It was divided into three parts and none of it was going to be classical ballet. From the very start I knew that I wasn't going to enjoy it since modern ballet is just like rhythmic dancing. It has no sense or story and to me it is just horrible.
But that wasn't it!
The third section of the ballet was a premier, so there was nothing about it on the website that my mum has shown me.
The second section was Ravel's Bollero. 'Well,' I thought, 'at least I can just listen to the music.' There was going to be a Russian ballerina and I guess that's why my mum wanted to see. There was also a video of it. As I watched it I just thought to myself 'What. The. Hell.' Find it and watch it..... Seriously.......
The first one was going to be..... Indian...... Yes..... Indian...... The story of it is about the Hindu gods and it was going to be to traditional indian music.......
The car trip didn't take us that long, although we arrived quite early.
I could NOT BEAR the first part..... The music was SERIOUSLY getting on my nerves..... There were strange costumes and weird dancing. It started off with men in white robes walking around the stage doing the lotus flower with their hands. They sat down in a meditating position with their hands to their chest. It made me think of one pound fish where they want it to look indian, but failing..... My ears and head were about to expload...... That music was the most annoying thing EVER!!! They would also sing!!! Why do all indians have this very annoying vibrato in their voice?! Ugh!!!
The second one didn't have any music at all. It sounded like some guy didn't know how to play electric guitar, so it sounded like a cat was being tortured. One women was supposed to be representing the main character from Breakfast at Tiffany's, but failing. It was HORRIBLE!!!
I closed my eyes halfway through the third part. I leaned on my mum's shoulder and was very close to falling asleep. The music made me happy.
So that's why I was happy to be back at school!
The first two periods of sports were.... Well..... Nothing special about them. We played badminton, ping pong ( I failed) and  volleyball.
How happy I was to be back in English class *coughNOTcough*. Yasmin was making faces at me and scratching herself with scissors (?). But now we made a bet about it. In return I have to sit next to her until May. Yes, May..... I don't know how we're going to do this, since Mrs Manchala always tells us to go to our normal seats.....
(In the second period of English we had to find the meanings of certain words and explain how they're related to the book we're reading. One of them was stereotype. I can't get over that time we went trick or treating.....)
After English, we had history and after history, it was lunch. I was telling my friends about that horrible experience at the theatre...
Nothing interesting happened after, but, overall, it was very fun.

    1. Why should I remove this one? Is it because you don't want anyone to know that you scratch yourself with scissors.....?
