late summer

My summer in Berlin was short; and now it is almost over.

We celebrated our wedding, and now there are hopefully no more debts in front of the family. I went to Norway to play a concert and to see my friends. I started to make a week show on the Russian Radio in Berlin - ReiseMania, 10 minutes about traveling. We went to Poland for a weekend, as I dreamt whole the year, and it was a tiny bit duller as last year. This taught me, "leave your memories where they are, you can never repeat a spontaneous happiness". Then we went to Kassel to see the world's biggest contemporary art exhibition, dOCUMENTA13, which is held once in 5 years. That was, khm, interesting, sometimes even meaningful. But I would say, I can survive without contemporary art...

Maybe, this tiredness and reluctance of new impressions is very much due to the necessity of learning contemporary pieces. In just three days I am flying to Munich to take part in a new-music-mastercourse, and   I think I took too many pieces to learn. Especially annoying (in the matter of learning the text) are the bird-pieces by Messiaen. But, from the other hand I feel so proud of myself that I made it!

In the autumn I hope I could get a job as a librarian (dream-job!), learn some more German, buy a bike, and attend yoga-classes. My plans also include doing some french music with my favourite Flutist, and maybe read another dozen of books from my list. 

And, maybe something else....

Finally

Today I got visa.

7 months of different types of waiting... Let's see:

29.08.2011 - arrived to Baku
06.09.2011 - applied for a 6-months language course visa
05.10.2011 - visa application refused
13.10.2011 - applied for appellation
20.10.2011 - David suggested me to marry
05.12.2011 - applied for marriage in Baku
14.01.2012 - marriage in Baku
25.01.2012 - applied for a marriage visa
02.03.2012 - David received invitation for an interview
26.03.2012 - interview at the immigration office, Berlin
27.03.2012 - call from the Baku embassy (oh what would I give for this call only half a year ago!)
28.03.2012 - passport at the embassy
29.03.2012 - visa in my pocket!!

I will not talk about all the bureaucracy we faced during this period; it would be a hundred-pages novel.  Just want to mention the last "drop" from today. I came to the consular section of the German embassy to pick my passport, and when I got it I took some time to look carefully through the page (because my friend Mehriban once got a visa with the wrong dates), and thanks to all Gods that I did it (if you leave the embassy with the wrong information, you cannot change it anymore)!! They wrote my name wrong! Instead of Aghayeva-Edler they put Aghayeva-Elder, and this small technical mistake could have caused loads of problems for me in the future. I wonder if consul did it on purpose, because, I mean, how could you misspell this easiest name!!!

Whatever, now everything is over. In 13 days I leave to Berlin to my loveliest husband to start new life, but before that I have to play to concerts here in Baku. Information about them I will post a little bit later.

(OMG, still cannot realize I GOT VISA!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! LOVE IS IN THE AIR!!!!!)
