I admire Ave and her ability to keep up with her blog so regularly! I mean look at me...
So what has been going on? School, crazy plans and fun parties if to sum it all up. Let's start with parties, shall we?
Film and pool night. On Good Friday, my Kätlin had organised us a place to bake a cake and watch a movie. So the plan was to meet up in Rimi at 7 pm. We didn't find our ingredients over there so we headed to the next supermarket. Well, we finally made it to Jon's place and me and Kätlin started cooking while the guys were constantly stealing all the ingredients. We had the recipe as well but most of our cake was improvisation. But when we served it with ice cream and peaches, it tasted like heaven! Then we watched Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights and after that the question "What now?" aroused. It was round midnight and we decided to go to play pool at a fraternity house basement. I was like: "Goddammit!! Not again!" but this time they actually took the time to explain the basics instead of just telling: "Hit that, a bit left, point it like that" (which last time ended up leaving me in total confusion and I just hit the balls because I had no idea what they were telling me). This time I could even play on my own! Lost all the games naturally but boy can I make some great hits. I mean the ball is on the edge of the hole. I hit the ball, it moves and it won't go in! I mean one more millimeter and it would definitely have been in but no... and sometimes they all looked at me after the hits and asked: "How on Earth did you manage to do it like that!?" It's a gift... just face it! I made it home round 3 am again that night.
Purim. Purim is a Jewish holiday that my friend and course mate Anna asked us t
o come and celebrate at her place on Saturday, March 22. The tradition tells that this is the day when you have to eat a lot, drink a lot and make a lot of noise. In other words: have hell of a lot fun. And that we did! It was a costume party, so I decided to dress up as a gypsy. It was so much fun doing the dark and over exaggerated eye make up like I used back when I was still performing with belly dance! And my pretty thingy around my hips I felt like I should do the belly dance. Which I did! They managed to find Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" and forced me to dance... Like I needed some forcing after a mojito and some wine!
Talking about belly dancing then I don't know if I have told you this but I'm back in dancing lessons and absolutely loving them! This is my thing! And even thought some of the choreographies are such killers, I love it! I just stump my feet and make some weird moves again when were dancing "El Salam"!

Anyway, back to Purim party. I met some great people there and I guess I was the one dancing around all the time. I loved it, I mean I had no problems talking to people I hadn't met before. And those I actually had met... Again my bad waited for me round 3 am! (who needs sleep any way!)
Helen's birthday. Saturday, March 29. This day was doomed from the beginning. Round 2 pm I had already managed to drink 1/3 of the champagne bottle. I went to see Kata's new flat (which is adorable!!) and as usually she made me eat so much and offered wine and champagne. I rushed home and quickly changed clothes when I already had to be at Anna's to practise our wonderful performance of Boogie Nights for Helen. I was already quite in a mood, so there was no problem for me!
We made it to Helen's dorm (the notorious Narva rd 89) round half past 8 and me and Kätlin started drinking our wines. There was so much food again, I mean I ate like a pig. And drank like one as well! I mean more than 1 bottle of wine per person!! No wonder I was quite drunk by midnight when we were going to Illegard. And I needed to pee so badly! I mean I didn't risk at going to the toilet in the dorm, this place is freaky even when you're pissed.
So we had lots of fun on our way and even more fun when we were coming from the pub. I mean I was like a fucking Duracell bunny: jumping and dancing around, going crazy in the snow and Kätlin kept telling me: "Eeva!!! NOOO!!"
The morning wasn't my favourite... damn that wine!
Now t
o my crazy plan. You have all probably heard about it but still, here it is: Israel. I'm going there, I have to go there. My plan includes finding a job for the summer (the tricky part) and then getting enough money and I'm fucking going to Israel!!
Why there, you ask? Answer is simple: I was asked. My dear friend Shani told me "You are SO coming to Israel" and I thought, why not! This girl is fabulous! And from what I've heard from Anna, Israel is miraculous as well! I mean you can go to Paris or London anytime. I've already proven that with my London trip. (which by the way I miss so much, I'm again suffering from PCD = post-concert depression; watching the videos and listening to the songs makes me wanna go again!!).
But I have a goal, a dream once again and I'm going to go for it!!
The university demands a lot of work at the moment, all those paper I have to write... but I'll manage. I know I will! I have to!
And now I thought I'd toss in some recommendations. Just for the fun...
- Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream. One of the movies that managed to touch me really badly. I mean this movies is a wonderful piece of art, in my opinion it should be among the classics. I mean I was very close to throwing up at the end of the movie. I, who can watch everything on TV without blinking my eye, I had to turn my head away... The film is about down fall. The unglamorous life of an addict. This leaves no hope for better future for the characters. This should be shown in schools for children, let's see if drugs seems so appealing after that as well... This is the instrumental song from the film (beautiful): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2Ma4BvMUwU
- Kar Wai Wong's My Blueberry Nights. Now this is an entirely different movie. A love story, sweet and predictable, yet it's better than the usual Hollywood stuff. Great camera work. And of course if you happen to be female, you're attraction to the film is this: Jude Law!! The trailer of the film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86kckraMXtI
- Eva Cassidy "Bridge Over Troubled Water". The song was first sang by Paul Simon & Art Garlfunker but I fell in love with her version. I listen to this song multiple times a day. It's so simple and beautiful and has pretty lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4C9mH6_47Q
I guess that's it for today. Going to see Good Charlotte on Wednesday, can't wait for it. I long for a good rock out and this is what I'm planing to do! I just have to think what I'll wear for it. Would it be totally inappropriate to wear my 30 shirt?

I betray you my secret - I don't write all the weeks' occasions at once, I try to do it step by step and then save as a draft ;)
I guess it's a "new blogger's syndrome" - to be an active blogger.
This Israel plan is really a crazy one, but as you have come through the London-experience, there's no doubt you'll succeed in the next adventure ;) Although for me, Israel seems to be a bit frightening...
And the 30STM t-shirt is a great idea, I think. What else should be worn at this kind of concert?!
I've also been listening to Eva Cassidy recently, but my favourite is "Fields of gold". I like it much more than the Sting's version...
