I received an email from my mum last night. She hasn’t heard from me in a while so I think it’s time to update her and everyone else what I’ve been up to.
     Apparently my brother is going to help our mum to redo her kitchen since he has a couple of weeks of from school. It’s going to be fun to come back to the apartment and see everything new and redone.
   She also wrote to tell me that my grandparents got wireless internet now and are surfing around the internet as a couple of teenagers :P

So this Friday, me and Svenja dropped of Staffan at the airport, before we left, we went and get some Asian food. It was a bit sad he could only stayed for a week but we had time to do a lot of things still, and it was really fun he came over to visit!

  When we got home I went over to Dan´s house and hung out since he’s going back to collage this week. I wished to see “Napoleon dynamite” but he couldn’t get it to work so we could download it. Next time!
   Saturday morning me and Svenja had a nice breakfast on our porch and got a little bit tanned, it’s been over 20 C from Tuesday to Sunday – just like a Swedish summer! Nothing to complain about! 
     
Later that Saturday afternoon we went over to Eddie and hung out with him and his brother(s). We went to KFC (Kentucky fried chicken, it’s a fast-food restaurant) and I will for sure never put my foot in there again. UWE!! We also got ice-cream at “Ritas” and it was for free since it was the first day of spring- the day they opened the store again.

Later at KFC

 On Sunday I went to NYC. I walked over to Fanwood station to take the train at 11.45am but no train arrived at that time. Apparently the 11.45 train only ran on Saturdays, so I had to wait for another hour among all the other people who also thought there was a train arriving at that time. It takes about 25 min to walk to the station so it wouldn’t make sense if I’d walked back again, so I just went over to DD instead and got a coffee.

When I finally got in to the city, I took the subway down to Tribecka and met up with Daniel. We took a long walk through Battery Park, passed the Statue of Liberty (who looks much smaller than I thought) and then went to some restaurant where we sat down out in the sun with two Margaritas. It was a perfect sunny and nice day.

Later we went back to his apartment and started to watch “Brooklyn finest” but after 3 minutes I stated it was a boring movie so we just hung out until I took the train back around 9pm.
We realized it was much closer if I’d took the Path from World trade center to Newark and then the train back to Fanwood from there instead of going up to Penn station and then taking the subway down to Tribecka.
  Svenja was supposed to pick me up 10pm at Westfield but about 5 minutes before I got there I got a call from her saying her car was blocked and she couldn’t come. Luckily the weather was still nice so I just walked back home instead. It was a little creepy because there’s only a light every 50 meters and between it’s almost pitch black. Svenja kept me company on the phone so it was no problem really.


Today when I woke up I saw it had started to rain again. It’s still warm though and it’s suppose to be nice again later this week.
   Today is also the first day of my "calorie diet". I’ve been thinking for a while what kind of diet I wanna try but I think I’m going to try to just count the calories. If I stay around 1500 cal/day and exercise at least 4 times a week I will see results soon. Right?








Catch you on the flip side!
