Books, plays & jujutsu
I just noticed my LJ entries always start very boringly. Eh, maybe I just can’t help it. Maybe I write when I have nothing real to say. I’m reading The Cider House Rules for the fifth time or so and I still keep finding new things in it. It’s a wonderful book with a good plot, controversial themes and, most of all, fully developed, round characters that are real people. The humour is fairly laconic and just hilarious, typical John Irving. I love John Irving in general.
Went to see Death of a Salesman at Turun kaupunginteatteri on Wednesday. Its official premiere is today I think. It was an okay performance, the Willy Loman and the Ben were excellent, the rest of the cast was not really up to their roles and the translation was horrible. The best part of that evening was going out for dinner with Leena and Tuulia before the play. We went to Rico and were all elegant and smart.
Dandi wants me to start jujutsu with her. I think I’ll do it, it sounds fun. Twice a week it will give me a ton of CAS hours, and I really need to start to exercise more. I guess Dandi will also start to teach us Chinese after we’re done with the old dances (right now they take up two afternoons 2-4 p.m.). I still hope we can begin the badminton and yoga again and that I could maybe take up guitar as well (though something must go, I don’t have time for it all), to have something to balance the school work.
You know, I’m feeling great. I quite like it so far but then on I haven't heard Juho's ( aceman87) opinion yet. My moods and decisions have been going up and down and in every possible direction lately. Have you ever had anyone feed you half of a chocolate bunny? I am back from London and I feel good but truly weird. School is over. I think I should just find out what I really want and work my way towards that. I suppose I should update this every once in a while as well, but lately I've been more into updating my domain. It seems like life is full of parties nowadays. I spent around two and half hours in a dark closet yesterday. I'm feeling fairly tired yet somehow oddly perky. July 15th-25th Elm Tree - the Noble-Minuteness.
Take the first sentence of the first entry of each month and put them together to see what your year was all about.
I think that up there reflects my year quite well. The mushy-greatness in January & February, the fights & confusing stuff in March, Easter and everything in April, LONDON in late April, school ending in June, trying for one more time in July, doing nothing really in August, too many parties throughout the autumn, the crush October-November, general tiredness caused first by TOK-cruise and then mocks in November. The December part is just nonsense though.
