Wow, it’s been quite a while now since I updated, I can’t tell you why I haven’t but let me just tell you a bit what I’ve been up to lately and let the pictures speak for the rest.

Weekend before Svenja left we booked a bus tour to Boston for each $ 31 back on forth. We had to take the bus from china town in NYC and from there it took about 4 h to Boston. We walked around, watch a baseball game in a park and realized how clean Boston is. We stayed over at a friend’s house and the next morning, while watching Germany win one of their games in the world cup, we got ready and later went to Harvard University!

At 3pm we took the bus back to Jersey.

The last days before Svenja went back to Germany we had the time to go to the city one more time, celebrate 4^th of July with a lot of fireworks and had a small dinner with her host parents And of course packing!

Monday night, day before leaving I had organized a surprise party at Dan’s house and Svenja had no idea what was going on. I had planned it for more than a week and that means I had to lie to her for more than a week, just small lies but luckily she never had a clue.

The party/BBQ went great I had a lot of help from Dan and we had a big cake problem that he solved, thank God!

Last day I mainly drove her around and made sure she had done everything she had to. At 3 pm we went over to the airport and 3 hours later she went on the plane back home to Germany.

It sucks being here without her since I spend most of my year with her. But I’m not going to sit around and be depressed, soon I will see her at the airport in Sweden and I just can’t wait.

What I’ve been doing for the rest of the week? Packing! Crazy I know but I want to get an idea how much clothes and stuff I actually bought over here and of course I want to bring all of it back home.

So I folded all of my clothes and put them in to piles, and the result: I think I can get more stuff! Hehe

I also got my flight, after a lot of work, first they wanted to give me a flight with a polish airline (LOT) but everyone told me it’s not the best, also I had to wait 4 h in Warszawa. So two flights later the best they could give me was with Lufthansa, 2 hours waiting in Frankfurt. Feels better so now I know when I’m going home and it feels so close, believe it or not.

This weekend I’ve spend with Dan at his house. Friday we went to his place at Rutgers and met up with his friends he now shares his house with. We played some beerpong and I think I manage to drink maybe 2 beers, I’m proud!

Saturday we went back to Edison, and we got some stuff so I could make him some Swedish pancakes. What did he think about them? He hated them! Just because American pancake sucks!

Anyway, the weather was bad so we didn’t do too much only thing was probably when we walked over to rent a movie, Shutter Island, a movie we already seen. The walk was about 20 min to get there and we kind of regret we didn’t took the car because it was so hot outside.

Sunday we went for a morning (noon) swim in their pool and then watched the final game in the world cup. I also manage to force him to go to the mall to return a cardigan, ended up buying a new one and a pair or pants instead. We also got a bottom up shirt for him that was fresh to death, but all I heard was complains about how expensive it was and how many McDonald’s meal he could have got for that money.

This week I’m only going to work Monday and Tuesday + Wednesday morning, so I have no idea what to do for the rest of the week!
