Spring break week
I just looked at the statistics for my blog and I’ve noticed the average is around 7/8 per day. Who are you? Since I thought there were at the most 5 people knowing about my blog.
It’s been a while again; I’m not as good at the updates anymore I’ve noticed.
This week I’ve been kind of off. I didn’t do too much though since Svenja had to work all the time. We had really nice weather since Wednesday so I can make sure I got a pretty nice tan by now.
Friday night I picked up Svenja after work and went to got some sushi, around 9ish she got picked up of her date, later she came back and spend the night at my house.
We tried to be in time for the 12.45pm train the next ‘morning’ but as always he had to hurry to get there in time even though the train’s always a couple of minutes late. Our plans were to first go to Central park and then go shopping. We never went to the park!
I got make up stuff for over $ 80 and a dress. Svenja got some make up too and a bunch of clothes, so we left happily around 6 pm to go home. Well back we went to rent a movie (“The time traveler’s wife”) which sucked and also some ground beef so I could make us some Swedish meatballs- hamburgers! One or two boxes of candy went downtown too.
Around midnight I took Svenja home and since she had to go with her family to Easter dinner the next morning.
I actually haven’t been thinking much about Easter, I had 3 eggs earlier this week that’s probably as close as I can get “celebrating it”, well the small little Easter candy egg my mum sent me was eaten too this weekend.
Today (Sunday) I went to the city just after noon to meet up with a guy I meet a couple of weeks ago. It’s always nice to meet new people.
We took the subway up to 110 st and walked around in Central park for probably one or two hours. The park was filled with people doing all kind of stuff and the trees were all starting to bloom, it felt like a really nice spring day but it was warm as in summer time. After the park we went down to Bryant Park where we had something to eat, it was a really nice restaurant and it was nice to sit down for a while. Later we walked around some more and around 7pm I took the train back to Fanwood.
Me and Svenja had plans to go to Rock’n’Joe for a late coffee but they were closed which meant we ended up at Dunkin Donut having a coffee and a donut instead.
I’ve been waiting for my Visa now for more than 3 weeks as they said it would take. It’s not like I’m in a hurry but I’m a bit afraid it got lost in the mail. I just heard they’ll give you a new one in that case. Now it’s only 5 weeks until Mexico, so weird. – Good weird!!
So this is what’s going on in the next couple of weeks:
Upcoming weekend 10-11th April
– No plans so far, but hopefully it turns out as a busy fun weekend. Boston if we could get cheap last minute tickets perhaps!?
15-17th April
- Weekend class in Long Island with Svenja, more info soon hopefully, because I have no idea what I’ve signed up for.
23-24/25th April
- Atlantic City with Dan and his fraternity. Dance/prom whatever it’s called and hopefully I’ve have the time to make a dress for this event.
1-2nd May
- We’ve been talking about Boston but since this is the week before Mexico, I guess it’s going to be opened for other things.
8-15th May
- MEXICO, Cancun!!
I’ve been talking to Pontus about his visit and after talking to his boss he’s hopefully going to be able to come the 27th May- 6th of June! That would make it 2 weekends together and my host mum told be I’d be off the first Monday and Tuesday that first week in June. The plans are to go to Washington D.C during the weekend and also one or two visit to NYC. He had a wish to go to “Six flags”, it’s an huge amusement park here in NJ, and a place I haven’t been to yet myself. Hopefully some other friends will join as well. I think we have time to do alot of things since he's here over two weekends. It's going to be so much fun to see him again, been over 9 months since I've seen him at that point!
So now I got something to look forward to this spring, I must make sure I have the time to do all the city-trips I want to do before I go home. We also have been making plans about a roadtrip to Canada with Eddie, so when he’s of in May hopefully we’ll be able to do it.
There’s other things that must get done soon too. Like my NJ driving license. The international is only valid for 60 days so if I would get pulled over for some reason I’d get a ticket for that too, could be around $250. You only have to take the written test to get it since I already have my Swedish one, so soooooon I’ll go there and get it done, just have to study one or two days before so I’ll pass for sure.
The other thing is the home assignment for the application for the Danish Fashion School. I got last Monday but I did for sure not get one thing they were talking about! I tried to translate it on Google but it didn’t help me much. I’ve been thinking and thinking and a few days ago I might just have got in idea what they want me to do and an idea how to do it. I do need to talk to my mum first and see if she think it’s a good idea and/or if I understood it totally wrong.
So this week I’ll have to focus on the assignment. I’m going tomorrow to get some paper and stuff for it at a store on 22. Wish me good luck!
Catch you on the flip side!
P.S Wednesday the weather forecast says it's going to be +28 C D.S
Hej Anna! Du har många spännande saker framför dig. Vad kul att Pontus också kommer över och hälsar på. Tiden går fort tills du ska hem men jag är säker på att du kommer att utnyttja tiden maximalt! Jag läste nyss på nyheterna att det varit en jordbävning i Mexico i natt, 7.2 på Richterskalan så det var rätt kraftigt. Hoppas vi får kontakt idag för jag saknar dig och vill höra din röst :)
