Cinderella Ballet
2006-12-04
A beautiful ballet...and then no wireless
The Cinderella Ballet was performed by the Russian Ballet in Teatro Verdi. The Theater is only a five minute walk from my apartment and I never thought much of the outside. The inside is another story. The stage is almost as elaborate as the national theater in Paris where I saw the Paris National Ballet.
Once again, my first job was teaching ballet in high school so I was in raptures (I don’t know how else to say it) the entire time. The dancers were phenomenal. I was not sure what to expect of Cinderella. My favorite was the fairy godmother, who had beautiful arabesques. We had seats at the very top of the auditorium, but it did not bother us. I went with Zena, Ashley, Mckenzie and Amber. We had box seats and enjoyed every minute of it.
After the ballet it was back to reality. I have several papers to write and tests to start studying for. I was VERY VERY frustrated today when the school’s wireless internet was not working. We all have final papers to write, research to do, etc, and the internet it not working. I ended up storming out of the building after struggling with my computer for about an hour while I worked on papers. I will not miss the technology, or lack thereof, in Italy. Last night I went with Zena to La Chat, an internet café near our apartment, and the wireless did not work there either. Right now I am at a café where you usually have to buy a drink to use the internet. I am stills so frustrated that I refused to buy a drink. Our apartment is staring to mold like a forest in the bathroom and two of my roommates are not doing their dishes and I refuse to do them so it is not looking too pretty. With all of this on top of papers and tests I feel like I am about to explode. I will never take easy access technology and things in general available in America for granted ever again.
