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





(There's 4 of them now, not 3) :P

Hope you like it!

Past couple o' days

Sorry, i haven't posted since Friday i think it was...

I've been getting my new room squared up :)

That's right...new room!!!


We actually went ahead with it, it took most of Sunday but here we are now.
Fair play to my mum lol.

The room isn't exactly how i want it at the moment but i think it will be tweaked a little at the weekend.



The past couple of days are a complete contrast to how i was feeling on my last post.
I feel a like i have a lot more space now.

It's not just the room that's done that for me but...

*drum roll*

I bought Steven's "old" ipod touch off him :D
He got an iphone for Christmas and offered me his for just 70 quid.
I didn't give him the full 70, but 20 and i'll pay him fully as i gradually get more money, coz i don't really get much.
But he's fine with it and said i can take my time over it.

That's what strange with him.
One second he can be the biggest bigot, homophobe whatever and the next he is all nice and friendly and loyal....
Strange one.

Anyway, i am now free to browse the web as i want.
Just a simple delete history, cache and cookies in Safari on the ipod and it's wiped.
Unlike the computer here where it gets stored in Temp Files or whatever.

So....porn at any time of the day! :P


But i won't blog from it, that would be a pain, i'll blog with a proper keyboard. ;)


The past couple of days then, in school.

Quite busy.
Loads of preparation for Prelims (beginning on the 25th)

Got practice writing prelims as well in French and Spanish.
French on Friday, Spanish on Monday.

Spanish is a toughy.
Speaking exam tomorrow but i know it pretty well.
And then for celebration....Wolfmother!!! Yay!!!

I have to wait until 1:20pm tho, so i'll be a nervous wreak by then lol.
But it should be alright.

So, trying to do the french writing practice will be rather meh but i'll use the Spanish exam as an excuse. And to be fair, it is fairly valid.

But the homework is piling up.

According to my guidance teacher we should be doing 3 hours during the week and 5 at the weekend.
I'm sorry, but i need a life and he's an arse.

I probably do about half of that and it's sufficient enough i would say.
I'm not failing anything so there we are.

Also, i attended my first Supported Study class today.
It's like an after school class thing.
But unlike most where it's optional this one was mandatory.

And what subject was it?

Yep, Spanish :P

I didn't go to last weeks class so she demanded i go to this one.

Bah, i don't like her but she does get results out of you



Thanks for all your comments on my last post.
And just to answer one question that has been asked - My brother is 13.

I'm sorry but a lot of 13 year olds are idiots.

I would certainly say i was.
I was just a moody brat a few years ago and my brother seems like that most of the time.

Anyway, as i said, a lot 13 year olds are. Not all.
Quite a number are very mature but with my brother around i don't see it.


Lastly,
I watched a very interesting "movie" recently.

It's a short Northern Irish film called James. It's about a 12/13 year old dealing with his sexuality and it's only 17 mins long so if you're interested check it out.

BTW, when i watched it, i found it to be out of sync a little but it's nothing major.


Actually, that wasn't the last thing i was going to talk about.
Speaking of Northern Ireland i thought i would mention Iris Robinson.

The mad woman.

I was listening to a radio programme speaking about the whole controversy and whether or ot we should have sympathy for her.

I don't.


She's in deep therapy or something now.
But she got what was coming to her in my opinion.

She's such a hypocrite.

Firstly, she condemns homosexuality saying "The bible condemns it and it is an abomination"
Then she goes and has an affair....which is also condemned in the bible.


I have no sympathy for her whatsoever, she should learn to keep her big trap shut. The loony.


Anyhoo, i'll post again probably on Friday and let you know about Spanish, the concert etc.

Cheers everyone,
Rowan
