Feeling Better

Things have slowed down over the last week for me, as I wind down into holiday mode. High schools and Primary schools are on holidays this week, which means that there are no piano lessons, hence me being home now. I've been asleep on the couch this afternoon. Trashy T.V is so boring.

I went to my morning German class, it is so hard to remember all the words. I am trying, but I will need to sit and write a lot more so that it sticks in my head. I went to the Nova straight after, to see a German movie called 'The Lives of Others'. It was a beautiful movie, the characters just seemed so warm and likable. The movie is about the 'Stasi' the German police in charge of information, their stated objective 'to know everything'. The main storyline is about one of the best informers monitoring a play writer. Over the course of the movie, as he listens in to this mans life, he comes to some realisations about the kind of work that he is involved in. There wasn't much confronting violence to have to deal with, which was great for a change. The last movie I saw at the Nova was about the Irish secret police, which had horrible violence all the way through it. Anyway, I can see why this film received four stars. Definately worth getting when it comes out in the DVD store.

This weekend is the Nationals compeitions, marching on staurday and on stage on sunday. I jsut realised that I said yes to work tomorrow night, when I should be going to rehersals. Sigh, better go call them and get it changed. I've decided I want to take a break from going to Jenny this week, and save the weekly money for my dress. I have to try and cancel my gym membership, which will take some planning and arguing. Or to cancel my current credit card and get another one. I shouldn't have signed up for it in the first place. Good thing I know how to write formally. That should fix 'em. And then there is this concert on Sunday that I don't really want to go to but have to go. It's crap that they are so damn inflexible, expecially when the support act changes without warning. I wanted to go home this weekend to see Mark on his birthday, but now I will have to be travelling in the middle of the night. I don't want to be driving anywhere on monday, I just want to go home. I am ready for a holiday now, and it's been too long since I saw Mark last. Stupid companies. It makes me really angry, and I'll have to think about it a bit to get myself in the right frame of mind that I might actually enjoy it. I'm sure it will be fine when I actually go, but right now I am angry about it. Just take my tickets back! I don't want them anymore! I hate you Ticketek!
