Cleaning


This weekend is to be over in thirty minutes. I’ve had a lot to do. I went to IKEA to buy the last bookcase. Everything was great and I bought some Swedish chocolate there. I miss the Marabou milk chocolate we have there and the Ballerina cookies. If you ever decide to go to IKEA you should definitely check that out.

The visits at IKEA are starting to get boring though. I’ve been there far too many times now. The next day I went to my old home to pick up some possessions and move them to my new place. I put all my cloths and stuff in my bookcases and it looks really good now. The room looks actually bigger now with a lot more room for storage.

I also bought some cleaning supplies. Today was the big cleaning day. I cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen together with my girlfriend. The stove was really greasy and I had to use some super strong chemicals to remove it. After the two hour cleaning process, I put aluminum foil over the stove top so that it will be easier to clean the next time.

It’s actually a great tip for people who are living together with other people. When there are a lot of people using the kitchen it gets really dirty. If you use aluminum foil you can just remove it when it gets too dirty and replace it with new foil.

The bathroom was really disgusting. There was something looking like fungus hiding behind the toilet. I used a mop to clean it and now it looks great. My super chemicals really did wonders. This apartment is definitely cleaner than the last one I had so I’m exaggerating a little when I say it was really disgusting.

I’m really happy with my new IPod. I use my big headphones when I listen to music on it at home. When I used my headphone with my IPod Nano the sound was really low. With the Shuffle I can increase the volume more which makes the whole experience a lot better.

The headphones are really good. They are of the brand AKG and you can really hear all the details of the songs. I got them as a Christmas gift two years ago. My girlfriend got really jealous on my cute Shuffle so yesterday we went to the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue to buy her one. I’m regretting it a little since she now spends more time with her Shuffle than me. Kidding!

I have a final tomorrow in oral communication. I’ve read the book a couple of times and I also typed up some notes from it so I feel prepared for tomorrow. I don’t think the test will be hard.

I just remembered that I also bought a vacuum cleaner today. It was $70, which I guess is an acceptable price. Together with the vacuum cleaner, me and my girlfriend also bought a cart. It’s one of those square looking, four-wheeled ones elderly people use. I felt like a ninety year old walking around with it. The truth is though that it’s great to have when you’re out shopping groceries, buying stuff at IKEA, or when you’re doing your laundry, especially when you have to do a lot of walking in a city such as New York.

I’m almost looking forward to my ninetieth birthday!
