rhyll | Some stuff i did yesterday (Reply)

I cycled all the way out to east perth (ok, given i live in west perth it is not so far, but it felt like forever because i had to go to the end of wellington street. the end!) to get my phone fixed. But, then, i couldn't find the 3 store that is meant to be there. I called the guy, but he was in India so had no idea where east perth was or how to find the store.

I was sad, but then i cycled along the river and saw a whole flock of pelicans, which was nifty. And a dolphin! But then i smashed my knee against my bike and felt like throwing up, so i felt somewhat sad again.

I got over it, though. Don't panic.

Uni sucked, because i am trying to standardise my essay marks. Stupid essays. ick. I would rather go through every single one of the essays with the students and explain what they did wrong and how to improve their writing. That would be more fun than trying to decide if a particular essay deserves a 73 or a 76%.

And then, after uni, we had our first workshop of the batizado with Mestre Pintor. Started off at 5 with our usual hour of hanging around...making belts, playing music, all quite relaxed. Then an hour and a half of drills. The mestre is very fond of very tiring sequences. At several points, i thought i was going to fall over (but didn't). Then we split into a few rodas and played for half an hour - given that there were only five people in our roda i was playing a lot - i managed to tire out a few people, and unfortunately also split the skin on my toe. But it was damn fun. And, after that, when we were all completely exhausted, we still had to go over the moves of our maculele performance.

So i ended up getting home at 9:30. And i still had to take in my washing and feed myself and exciting things like that. Very exhausting. Very satisfying, too. I'm looking forward to Wednesday night.
