Spanish Speaking Exam and Wolfmother Concert

I'll start with the Spanish :D

Which went just like my French : Absolutely lovely with only one part that i got stuck on.

It went almost perfectly, i delivered my presentation which was about a minute and a half long.
Then the discussion was the only bit i messed up on, but it wasn't anything major.
The discussion is about 4 mins long with the teacher asking questions and near halfway through she asked

"Do you think the learning two languages is a important?"

"Si"

"Porque?" (Why)

And then i couldn't think of why but after about 30 seconds of thinking i stumbled an answer saying it opens doors in the future and it was plain sailing from there!

So, nothing to worry about. :)

Will probably get our final mark back next week along with french.


Just had to wait for Wolfmother now.

School finished, Alex picked me up at about 6 and we got dropped just round the corner from the venue, made our way to the queue with 30 mins until doors opened and met up with some school friends who were also going. (It wasn't even planned :P)

Doors opened at 7 and we went straight in....to the very front row, at the barrier!!! Just a little from the right of the centre.

(Never been at the barrier in my life and i was a bit apprehensive as to whether it might be too much for such an inexperienced gigger haha, but we survived.)

Got robbed for water but i needed to keep hydrated of course and then the support band came on.
Played their set which was pretty good and then cleared their gear away, in the process knocking their setlist onto the ground, in the space between the barrier and the stage, so i asked a security guard if i could have it and he let me!

A little souvenir, how nice. XD

The support band were called The Black Angels btw.


Another hour of wait while people slowly but surely filled the gaps in the crowd.
I started getting a bit nervous coz it was getting so cramped but what else do you expect at the front?


Anyway, Wolfmother came on and everyone went instantly mad!
I couldn't get a note of the set or any videos but they played all the good stuff and some stuff i'd heard but didn't know the words.

They finished with Joker and the Thief tho, which brought with it more crushing and crowdsurfers and with that, it was finished.

I could finally breathe again!

The barrier is good tho, you don't miss a thing that happens onstage but for that privilege, you get mauled against the barrier and can't jump around so freely.
But it was worth it by far.
I let my arms take the brunt of it instead of my ribs tho, so my arms are quite bruised today :P

Also at the barrier, you get looks from the guys onstage which me and Alex definetely got, that was awesome.
Eye-to-eye with someone who inspires you....

Words....


Can't....


Describe....



So afterwards, i got a lift home again from Alex's dad and crashed out almost immediately in my newly organised room.

Pretty awesome week this week!

Ending on a high with my Unofficial 1000 Visits!

Yay!


(Although it is more than that :P)

Haha


Cheers guys,
Rowan
