Find Friends

Uraaaaa!!! Snow! Snow! Much snow!
When I've got up today (as usually near 11 o'clock:) I've seen that everything around is white, snowy and so-so beautiful! The layer of snow is almost up to knee:))
So now I'm going to walking with my friends...
Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!!!!!!!

Three weeks ago I've got a hometask (on the courses in university) to learn by heart a part of 'Hamlet' by W. Shakespeare. And yesterday I finally did it! Now I know it perfectly. 
There is a part of it.

HAMLET
By William Shakespeare

To be, or not to be; that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep -
No more, and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to – ‘tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
Must give us pause. There’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life,
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all.

Now I'm sitting at home instead to be at the rock-concert!
I haven't got a ticket to it.

A few days before the concert I asked my friend, who would take part at it (he plays in the band The Final Headshot), to get me a ticket and hand it through my friend with whom I study at the same class. But they didn't do it. They hadn't tickets, then time and finally they forgot about me. Was it so difficult to get one ticket for me?

The consequence of this story is that I must always depend only on myself.

Do you have the best friend? Before the last time I thought I had. But now I understand that I was mistaken. I’m disappointed not only in my best friend, but in my close friends from school too, and maybe in friendship at all.

When I’m funny and make laugh others – I’m their friend. When I help them on tests or other works – I’m also their friend. When somebody has problem or just need to be listened – I’m her best friend. But when I come to school with a sad mood or just haven’t will to laugh – they haven’t will to stay with me or only pretend that they sympathize with me. What’s the consequence then? I’m some clown, crib or handkerchief for tears for them, am not I?

You could say that they are simply not friends for me. But earlier they were another. Our relations were so good. It has changed this year – the last year at school. What was the reason? I don’t understand. Maybe we’ve become boring for each other. I think it can’t happen with REAL friendship. So, where is it?

Now I’m staying at home and haven’t will to go to the school, where my ‘friends’ with their hypocrisy wait for me.
But I have to…

This theme of idioms I think will be very useful in life:)

There is a romantic story about the nineteenth century revolutionary, Garibaldi. He was on his ship entering a port when he saw a beautiful woman standing on the shore. ‘That is the woman I am going to marry’, he said. It was love at first sight. The woman, when she met him, was swept off her feet by his good looks and personality. They wee married within days and only had eyes for each other for the rest of their lives.

• love at first sight – falling in love immediately
• sweep someone off their feet – make them fall in love quickly
• only have eyes for - only be interested in
