I didn't get into a get-to-bed-at-a-proper-time routine yet, so waking up every morning and dragging myself to work (it takes 20 minutes now that I'm downtown, one bus only!)
Plus - had a friend (female:) over for a movie and dinner Monday; Tuesday movie again - utterly funny and smart TRISTRAM SHANDY A COCK AND BULL STORY by Michael Winterbottom - and dinner with my friend Andrea that's leaving for France and Sam from India, in a great cheap Indian restaurant, had vegetarian thali; Wednesday had my French pupil over for an hour than ran to a friend's place for tea and chat. Judith is amazingly gifted, originally in financial management and paiting, she's now preparing her own beauty products and does pedicure. I'll try to help her with some selling text ideas.
Tomorrow - Jiri Kylian choreography for Grands Ballets Canadiens. A friend lost his father and Friday evening I'll have to go quite far to see him at the chappel.
Saturday I don't want to stay up late, I danced enough on tables at Café Sarajevo the one before.

MARCH 2 - DEEP DEEP DOWN:(
1077 days ago
Why?
After seeing that great flamenco show with Nuevo Ballet Español from Madrid - all vibration and lust for life? Flamenco is pain, flamenco is joy, alone, in couple or with others. It is a dance about feeling intense emotions and expressing them with all your energy and convictions. A dance about being alive and screaming it out loud...with all your body. This company is good too - two young dancers are the leaders and their whole team is just as young and convincing. Simple costumes, beautiful lighting, gifted musicians.
And last Friday - the Shen Wei experience. First Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" - geometrical and in shades of gray, abstract dance following only the musical phrases without trying to tell a story. Then "Folding" - visually amazing, with harmonies of white and red and black, slowly moving on Buddhist incantations.
And after this - Damian Nisenson's kletzmer jazz - an Argentinian musician I met the Sunday before in café, during a debate in Spanish about the World Social Forum.
So why am I down? Well, my bank account is running low (again!) because the unemployment didn't pay me since January 19. I made the mistake of working as a hostess at the Car Show, and leaving after 3 days, Jan. 20 to 22. Penalty of 1 week pay. It took them 3 weeks to call me to find out what happened and then they called the hostess agency. Then they found out from the employer that I might go back to study. No one is admissible for unemployment unless one is continously looking for a job. So Wednesday I went back there with a list of potential employers, dates and jobs I applied for. Hopefully it should satisfy them and eventually payment will come soon enough.
A friend is helping me out with the tax calculation. News! I have to pay $500 for the public medical insurance and about $800 because the 2 hotels where I worked calculated my taxes as if I was getting money only from one side (the smaller the amount, the smaller the taxes).
I wanted to start a course already this summer, a professor I met from Uruguay is giving it, it could be part of my later master. I don't think it would be possible anymore...need a job and quick. And guess what? That's not easy either.
So here I am: $1300 debt by end of April, no credit cards, no money getting in, just fear, worries, anxiety. Feel the world is a jungle and I'm so lost in it. More than ever.
