Opera, Pointe shoes, and Norway.

Ok, so I never update. I’m lazy and never can be bothered. But I’m updating now.

Anyway, the opening of the Perth International Festival was awesome! It was beautiful, and loud (I was close to the speakers), and just amazing! I loved it.

I’m going to see Madama Butterfly, At the Supreme Court Gardens; it’s an opera, it looks really interesting, I think it will be good.

And I’m going to see the Lotterywest Floating Films, at Hilary’s Boat harbor; it’s going to be really good. Their going to play My Neighbor Totoro, which looks cute, it’s a Studio Ghibli film so it can’t be too bad. Before the Floating Films start there’s going to be a stage show by the French troupe Zic Zazou, called Le Kiosque, It looks like it should be a fun night.

I might be going to see Midsummer Nights Dream, at His Majesty Theatre. I think so, but I’m not entirely sure.

That’s pretty much all I’ll be doing for awhile.

I’m back to ballet now. It’s fun, and painful, but fun anyway. I had to do the class before mine, on Pointe last Saturday; my damn Pointes don’t bloody Pointe! The little pricks have really hard soles, they don’t bend properly. Then we did Pointe for my class too! My feet hurt for the rest of the day. I’ve been moved up to the next level in tap, it’s fast and confusing. I get what I’m supposed to do; I just can’t do it that fast. I should get used to it after awhile. Jazz should be alright, I’m in the same grade as last year, so there shouldn’t be so much of I change. Contemporary should be the same too.

I’m going to Norway for around three weeks in the middle of the year, for church. I don’t exactly believe in what the church stands for, but I get to go to Norway, and London, and I think we’re going to Hong Kong too, so I’ll live through the meetings, and tolerate the annoying religious testimonies. I have to do fundraising work, because Hayley is, my dads paying upfront for me, but a lot of the younger youth, like me, have to fundraise, because they can’t afford to pay up front. So the church will pay for them to go (‘cause they want then to have the religious experience.), and they pay it back by fundraising.

Yeah. So I’m going there for what they call E-TAB, which stands for Everyone Together at Brunstad (the church site in Norway.), it’s for the youth (so not exactly everyone). There’s a vague description behind it, but I don’t pay enough attention to remember it.

That’s in June and July, I think.

So yeah, that’s most of my year. It should be a reasonably enjoyable one.
