After two weeks off school I had to get used to studying and doing homework on regular bases again. One thing I miss about America that never had to study for any exams but in Switzerland I wouldn't pass any classes. Well this is the first reason I haven't been posting a lot lately but also am kind of stressed out with work. I wouldn't really say stressed out. Just really busy. Having two jobs is really hard. I need to get good feedback in my apprenticeship but also I want to have some money to put aside to o traveling. But I am really glad I keep everything on track.

And there was a cabaret with a conférencier - and there was a city with the name Berlin, in a country called Germany, and that was the end of the world. The musical cabaret was really fascinating. Based on the book BERLIN STORIES. THE PLOTLooking for inspriation to write brings the American author Cliffrd Bradshaw to Berlin in 1929. He gets a room in the cheap guesthouse of Ms. Schneider. Invited from a travel buddy, Cliff celebrates New Year's Eve at the Kit Kat Klub. The Kit Kat Klub is a known scene for amusement. And soon enough Cliff meets Sally, who works there as a singer. Sallly needs somewhere to stay at since she doesn't work at the Kit Kat Klub. Already the next day she moves in with Cliff at Ms. Schneider's... Mr. Schulz a nice with a own fruit shop also lives at Ms. Schneider's falls passionatly for Ms. Schneider, when the Nazis are starting to show more and more hate. Ms. Schneider decides to break up their engagement when the Nazis keep getting more power. Cliff is shoked by the fascism and wants to leave Berlin with the pregnant Sally as soon as possicle. She isn't pleased by this decision. And likewise the conférencier Sally doesn't want to know anything about politics - the whole life is just a cabaret. Everyone just on an escape and in constant fear, and ends up packing their stuff. But Sally gives her beloved fur coat as payment for an abortion, to start working again at the Kit Kat Klub. Shortly beofre the Nazis take over Germany Cliff leaves Berlin. MY REVIEWThe musical was amazing. The songs were absolutely catchy. But not only that. The plot was fasicnating, on one hand you had the really amusing side of the story, in the Cabaret and the happy life everyone tried to keep. "Live and let live!" But on the other hand, life was rough, you could barely afford to live at all. The musical goes deep and is shocking. Showing that scene of Berlin shortly before the Nazis took over Berlin, is really eye opening. You try to enjoy the last moments you got, knowing that you never know what is going to happen tomorrow. If you wanna find out if Cliff finally finishes his book? And where he and Sally end up? I really recommend to watch it. Hope you liked my review. I am looking forward to post more culture and literature updates. If you're not against it, then you support it. Or practically. "However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at." I was going to write my New Years Resolutions but instead I think it's much more intresting and motivating to make a bucket list for 2017. 1. Learn Spanish.I've been trying to learn Spanish for about two years now. But I always quit. So this year I will keep going. 2. Connect with past teachers.Many of will remember our past teachers as cruel and mean. But all in all they just wanted to ensure we get on the right path. Teachers might not do everything right, but their intentions come from a good place and they want to see us win. 3. Volunteer work.I always wanted to work at a dog shelter or something like that. 4. Plant a tree and manage to watch it grow.I never managed to keep a plant alive. So this year I will get flowers and plants for my room. 5.Try out vegetarianism for 31 days.There is so much food waste everywhere, and so many animals get treated cruel. I like meat but we all should buy our food resourceful. 6. Organize a picknick.When summer is around the corner I want a big picknick, with a bunch of food and family and friends, like in the old days. 7. Go on a romantic Getaway.I actually never mentioned my boyfriend. But more details coming soon. 8. Visit a castle.When I was younger, I have been to a lot of castles in Switzerland but I haven't been in a while. 9. Help people in need.We all should support the ones who lost their homes and families. A lot of programms give you the option to do that online trough money. But I wanna go big and help in refugees programs here in Switzerland.
Every year I set myself goals but keep forgetting them, this year I will keep my blog update and upload my bucketlist to bucketlist.org to keep myself up-to-date, and maybe add some stuff. 11. Do a color run.I've been wanting to do a color run for two years now, I hope this fall is going to be the year! 12. Become more confident.Lately I've been struggling being more confident, but I will keep working on that with my yoga and mediation. Can't wait for yoga to start this year again. 13. Go camping again.It has been forever since the last time I have been actually camping. 14. Learn to drive.This year I will hit the big 18 and will be able to drive. Be safe out there! 15. Send a message in a bottle.In middle school I used to have a penpal, it would be fun to have one again. 16. Spend a day in a Spa.No explanation needed. 17. Sleep under the stars.18. Get published in a newspaper.In a few years I willhopefully attend the school of journalism and for that I need at least 3 published articels in a newspaper. 19. Color my hair.Change means a new haircolor. Thinking about a dirty blond or honey kissed hair. 20. Go skinny dipping.Hard to believe I've never been skinny dipping huh. I hope you had a great start in the new year. Can't wait to get started on my bucketlist and have a fresh start. I hope that in this year I make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. |
