Advent time

This evening I went to the Advent concert my church put on. Unfortunately, I got there right at the start, and all the seats were taken, so I had to stand. The concert was really cute, there were three choirs plus a few pieces played by a small band/quartet, really, a lot of recorders in different sizes and a few other instruments. Me and some other students agreed our favorite thing about the concert was a little eight year old boy who help his music folder over his face almost the entire time he was singing but still looked like he was having a great time.

After the concert, one of the girls invited me to come to a thing she was going to, on the way we were stopped by some Spanish guys who were looking for their hotel, one of them spoke German, but the other asked if we spoke English. Claudi then said, of course, she does! He asked for our numbers so that we could go dancing next weekend. Oh Spanish men, so much more forward than any German guy I have ever met.

I spent the next hour learning how to swing balls on rope around and make it look cool. We went into a room that smelled like "people had been working there" as Claudi said (yucky sweat smell) and inside there were people juggling, playing with Devil sticks, and also with Chinese Yoyos, yes, I was wondering if they were practicing for a small circus. It was really fun though, and I learned a few tricks, and the girl who was teaching me was really sweet. As we were walking out, I was told about an improv group that practices in the same room, and they are going to give a performance on Tuesday, and am planning now to go. It won't be as funny as normal improv shows, because most jokes are puns or a reference to current events or culture, but it will still be fun.
