It's funny; I have so much to write about that I simply don't know where to start, and for sure I will forget about alot of things that are worth mentioning. Anyhow, just to get that out of the way, we're doing pretty good here in Freiburg. We've moved to a few places since we came here, we're now at our third address and saturday we'll leave again. At first I saw this as a bad thing, but now I realize that moving around all the time is actually a good way to get to know new people. And we need to get to know as many people as possible because we need to build up a strong network. Networking is everything; in fact you don't even really need to be able to know things or do things yourself, you just have to know the right people.
Getting people is most important for a seminar. You can have a nice hall and everything well prepared, but in the end it's the people that make a seminar so beautiful, because they get to experience something completely new which is often gratefully taken. Since our budget here is so small, we have to spend a minimum amount of money on things. Now and then we go for the market to ask for free food; you'd be surprised to see how much you can get by just asking. It's not seldom that we go home with a few bags filled with food for the rest of the week.
You cannot be afraid to ask favours, especially not when you realize that it is for a good cause. You don't ask for these favours for just yourself, but for everyone. Acts of generosity do not move from one person to another and then stop; they move on, they bring a positive pulse to the world.
Be generous, it will surely come back to you. Everything you do affects you. What you will get in life, and what you will not get. Today we managed to get a hall for free for the duration of the whole course! There was no way we could've afforded to rent anything so I'm very glad that we succeeded in this. It was not so easy because most places close in Germany during August because that is when summer holidays start. But we managed to get a place in a dance school; it's very nice, one of the teachers there actually offered me to take a ballet lesson so I thought: Why not?
So tomorrow will be my first ballet lesson ever! I would've never thought to be ever practicing ballet, but fortunately I can still surprise myself. It is a week until the course starts, we just need people now and a teacher. We'll pull it off, for sure. I have a good feeling about it. Also we managed to have some companies sponsor our flyers. We got about 1500 colour printed flyers for 30 euros on the spot! The guy at the copy shop gave us a huge discount and we definately have the best flyers of all of CLP. I'll be keeping it in my USB stick as a trophy.
I really wonder what will happen after this course. It will be my third, so maybe I will get the tape and the manual and become a full teacher. Who knows? I know who! Always with a big smile on his face because you don't know what's coming, and that's what makes it fun. Anyway, what I do think to know is that after this course I'll be taking a small vacation with Iva to where ever. You see, women are still women; they can never make up their mind. First it was Paris, then Barcalona, then Sicily, Sardinia, Cyprus, Malta, I'm starting to lose track on the latest developments. So I'll just wait until the moment is there and see what she wants. I don't really mind where we're going, I can feel at home anywhere; as long as she's happy.
You should watch Chris Rock about relationships, just type it onto youtube and you'll find a hilarious show about...relationships. Just know that when you look in the mirror you oughta say to yourself "fuck you, let's make this bitch happy".
