My world - My way - My words

The woo woo girls and Brocklyn guys are back from a day at Six Flags. It was amazing and there was a lot of screaming and laughing. We also left the state of New York for the first time since we came here – Check!  I could have stayed over night and the next I love going on rides so much and we went on some really cool ones. In Amercia they do everything just a little bit bigger and I love it. It got quite cold by the end of it tho so I can tell you with confident that winter is now coming to New York and having stayed out all night in a summer jacket would probably have killed me – but still ;)

Ok, time for Joey to jump into bed and maybe i should sart working on the madontory amusement-park-lolly

Nighty night

Lying on the blow up bed watching stupid americans on tv in a hoodie and my Hollister shorts, do I need to say anymore?! Tomorrow it is time to be a child again at Six Flags, woho!!!

I had my mind-killing boring lecture last night but afterwards I sneaked in to the restrooms like superman and got changed into eveningdress. Then I met the girls for drinks at The Plaza – fancy fancy. We then had a booked table at Tao at 10 PM but still had to wait for about 40 min. The food was soo good so it was all worth it. Then we headed down to Meatpacking district and stood around the bar waiting for a drink for what felt like eternity. And there was this English guy who couldn’t for the life of him believe that I was Swedish because of my accent - give me a break. Then we went to a rooftop bar and had a drink with amazing views. But OMG I my money flew away last night so much I don’t want to log in and see what is left.

Pictures will get here soon!

Puss Puss

Yes this is what came to my door today. I was expecting a package for Brian so I immediately thought it was for him, I got a bit surprised it said my name on it tough but thought it had to be a good reason for that so I put it to the side and got on with chillin. But then the door bell went of again and there was another package with Brians name on it so I got convinced that maybe it was mine so I opened it and there it was: my new shiny pink Ipod Nano. Weee I got soo happy it brought tears to my eyes (and not to mention how much Lisette cried, aw). Thank you sooo much! I love surprises.

For my heart is yours, exx

Ok so this blogging isn’t going as expected, I will update you a little of what I have been up to in the big apple. As said before school has started and full on, I have found a course I really like – PR and one I just couldn’t stand – Reatail and channel management, I was about to jump out the window when he finally said the magic words; “lets take a short brake” and that’s when I ran for my life. So now I have returned the book and dropped the class. And then it was another weekend so we started it of with a meat and cocktail feast at Les Halles where Brian works and finished the Friday with a strip club visit, lots of half naked girls and booze. Then a whole day in bed being hungover and then straight at it again with a preparty with the Swedish and Norwegian students at Berkeley and clubbin´ in Meatpacking district. So now it’s a new week and hopefully tomorrow I wont be as tired as today and I will get going with some hardcore studying. So this is the last few days in SHORT..

Kisses and hugs from me

Yea we are everywhere, in my first international marketing class today all students started with a short presentation of themselves and it turned out that 8 were from Sweden out of about 18 – what’s up with that.

So far I am liking it though but this is no playschool, already have lots to read and things to hand in… Hello reality! It’s time to get down and dirty, well in ink and paper cuts I guess :-P

This will also have to be a short post since it is time to jump back into the books before I fall asleep.

Here are some random pictures from the last few days:

And by the way, friends and family – get your asses over here and help us conquer New York!

Love from me to you!!

Monday is funday – so I heard in our new favourite cocktail-bar, so after two sangritas at this place it goes down hill and that is now it for me tonight. I am 4 margaritas down and ready to pass out in my bed. Lucky me classes doesn’t start until 6 pm tomorrow… I’ll update you.

I miss you sooo much!!

Yes, after taking our time this morning in the apartment we decided to get some fresh air – well as fresh as it comes in NY. I bought the best tasting chocolatechip cookie ever and then we went window shopping for wine. So now we have found our new favourite shop for alcohol – dangerously close. Partly accidently we walked past the theatre and decided that a movie could not be more fitting and without knowing anything about it we bought a ticket for Julia & Julie. I don’t know what Meryl Streep was taking while filming this movie but it was still a nice one to watch. Once finished we were very tempted to sneak in and also see Fame so we acted on it and all of the sudden there we were sitting through our second movie. We have no idea if this is allowed since in Sweden you don’t even have the chance to. So 2 for 1 – we like!

Fame – not a movie to recommend tho!!

My little brother is so funny sometimes. I was talking to him on Skype and aksed if he had read my blog, to which he answered: “not lately” so i tell him that he should so he can keep up with what his sister is doing over in the big country of the west. So he logs on  and starts listing things happening on my pictures and i tell him “you can also read it you know” *sighn* agh “i can’t read all that – can’t you shorten it down for me”. You gotta love him! Boys can be funny ;)

I miss you Felix very much! You might read this post?!

Here I am in my comfy-clothes and it is another sunny day in New York – I blame the drinks last night. Yesterday started with a power-walk in CP to then walk down to Berkeley to get some books, after all it is getting close. And then me and Sanna decided to also walk back and fell into a huge trap as we walked past a bar with sangrias on Happy hour so obviously we had to sit down and have a couple.

This then came down to us buying some wine back with us and a tiny little preparty was born. After this it all went downhill with swamp-water at Brother Jimmys but most excitingly the evening ended with us baking our own pizza at 1.30 am. We were walking home and really wanted pizza but nothing was open so a little deli had to do, there we told the shop owner about our pizza craving and a phonecall later a guy came down and opened the pizza place next door and we got to bake our own pizza which obviously meant us going a bit crazy with the topping. It was huge pizza so half of it is still sitting on our floor. Only in New York can these crazy things happen.

Saknar er där hemma!

This day was partly planed since some time back, more precisely since my birthday when me and Lisette received a crown ticket to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. So after registering at Berkeley we headed down to Battery Park to catch the ferry and we skipped our first queue. When we arrived we were given our wrist-bands to get our proper VIP treatment =P We then went through security checks that were tougher then those at the airport and had to put all our belongings in a locker secured with my fingerprint – omg. To then climb what felt like a million stairs and it only got smaller and smaller the closer we got to the top.

But when we got to top all sweaty we were welcomed by an incredible view through tiny windows. And it was only 7 of us let up there at a time cause it is now very limited so we stayed for about 15 minutes talking to the park-rangers – Jon and Ebony. And had a little “photo shoot” with Jon to then get his email because he wanted us to send him it to put up by the Statue of Liberty as he put it “Jon with the most beautiful ladies” awww.

The camera went of all day.. We then went on to go to Ellis Islands – but Lisettes feet were well too tired to keep going so she headed home and I went on to learn some more about immigration to the States which was very interesting.

Thank you soo much Ed, Ann and David for this amazing day. I will let the rest of the story be told in pictures!

Miss you all!

The sun is shining outside but I am sat inside with lots of thoughts. It is one of those days when some thoughts catches up with you and makes things feel upside down. I guess it all makes it feel worse because it caught me off guard. I am just very thankful that Lisette is here – somebody’s shoulder to cry on. It is just too easy to think “what could’ve been, what used to be and how should it be”…

Being so far away from everything doesn’t help probably but I knew these days would come so its just to hold out and it will get better.

Enough of these thoughts I think I have to put some comedy on tv and not think so much. And I hope the cable guy will turn up soon so that me and Lisette can head out in the sun and have our walk around Central Park.

Miss my Baby!

Put a smile on it!

Omg – the price I have paid today for the drinks that went down yesterday is a whole day inside feeling very rough while the sun has been shining outside, a busted toe and an incredible amout of calories passing through my system. But we did have a lot of fun last night so it’s a price I am willing to pay. I got steped on which destroyed my toe, tried my first jägerbomb, went to a nightclub where the dance floor was surrounded by beds and ended the evening with Lisette taking a fall down the stairs at a private party (she is fine tho). So tomorrow we should be back to normal and I am just hoping that I will be able to put my foot in some shoes without crying =P

Soo good night to you all

There is no such thing as a boring day in New York, even a day like mine now. Been lying in bed all day with my laptop and the tv running, watching the rain come down outside our window. Because even though it might not sound very exiting i can still feel the vibe from the city and there is no escaping the reality of where i am acctually doing nothing. Our plan was to walk around Central Park but when we woke up and saw the rain pouring down and heard the wind blowing we decided to postpone that for a better time – but we will do it, 6 miles of exploring.

And last night me and Lisette hit the Laundromat to get our wardrobe clean and even that felt like an adventure. So I brought my book – I heart New York (thank you Ed, Ann & David – loving it)  and sat on the chairs outside on York avenue listening to the sounds of the streets.
