Talent Show, Cats Birthday and a Halloween Booze Cruise.....Week 9

Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon I got to help judge our schools English Talent show where students either said a speech or sang a song.
Looks like if I was a judge I would probably be most like Louis Walsh - and let the cute ones win..... but I tried to stay strong!
One of the boys did - in my opinion - an awesome version of Payphone - so much that I actually burst out laughing when he started swearing - he's in my class - and is normally really quiet - and it seemed strange to hear him rapping 'Fuck that shit!'
But yeah...lol!

One girl sang 'You are my Sunshine' - which brought back memories of my Swiss kids - Solene would sing that song to me - but replaced the word sunshine with 'Laura' - 'You are my Lauraaa, my only Laura, you make me happy when skies are grey' - god these kids make me too soppy!!

So I decided it was time to send  the Swiss family my second update email. They sent me some pictures of their trip to Vienna - with a message saying

Not one day passes by without someone mentioning you :-))

which I thought was super cute.

I then also messaged the family that I tutored to give them an update and received a funny reply...... one day when I was going round...it was the jubilee...and I was going to a Jubilee party - so I was wearing a union jack tshirt and sunglasses - had baked Victoria Sponge cakes etc. The little girl asked me why I was dressed like that etc - she seemed to understand as I explained about the Queen etc.

Then next thing I know - she then runs up to her mum all excited - and she thinks that I am a Princess from England. Her mum thinks that this is a great idea to help her want to learn English so she tells her that it's true. I am in fact a Princess!

I showed pictures to Alice, saying guess who ? She answers : Oh yes ! It is the English princess !!!

Haha perfect - I have one person convinced.....now just the rest of the world!

We had a role play this week - which involved a girl - the boys decided to get reallllly into this and wear girls hairbands in order to look the part. SO FREAKING ADORABLE!

The story behind the Role play is pretty 'interesting' to me. This is what I understood from the story line.Let's see what you think -

• Man saves deer from being shot
• The deer asks how he can repay him
• The man asks for a wife
• The deer tells him to go to the pond where the woman are skinny dipping and to steal her dress
• The man gets a wife - they have kids
• The wife asks for her dress back
• The man remembers what the deer whispered to him - and says no
• The wife says please
• He says ok. (He was easily convinced)
• She then flys away with the kids
• The man is sad
• The deer then puts the man in a bucket and sends him into the sky to be with his wife.

Cat's Birthday Weekend 

Friday

Pizza hut.  Melted cheese to dip the pizza in (heaven).

 Birthday Cake <3

Tequila. Tequila. And then more tequila.
 

 Toilets that included graffiti walls for you to write on.

Basically - what started off as a nightmare of a night (I was around  2 hours late, got cake on my jeans, had a backpack and was just a bit grrrrrr) - turned out to be a good drunken mess of a night.

Saturday

Let's get ready to Booze Cruise.

So....wearing this much glue and paint on my face made it quite difficult to move my mouth - so laughing at all the stares we got was quite difficult.

I used a straw for my alcohol - so there so no major issues.

Drinking on the boat reminded me of my trip to Amsterdam... 'I'm not drunk, it's just the boat' - I get off the boat - I still feel like I'm moving. Meh.

We befriend a Korean child in a bar and search for scary pics online (cos we're cool like that)

I get sleepy drunk and suddenly catching the first train home seems like a bad idea. We sneak into the boys hostel and crash.

All I seem to have done this weekend is eat (after my big push on exercising all week. FAIL).

Must try harder next week or this will be me.
