Puuuh!


It has happened a lot since I last posted here. I received my TV and I love it! It’s perfect for this room and it looks great. The same day, me and my girlfriend asked our landlord if he could help us with a cable so that we could watch TV. He’s a very helpful guy and gave us a cable, and the next day I bought a splitter so that we could connect the cable to the TV.

Now we have around twelve channels to watch which is great! I also bought an XBOX 360. It’s awesome! I feel like a child again. I bought the game Guitar Hero 3 together with a guitar and it’s really fun. Me and my girlfriend play a lot!

I’m still waiting for one grade from school. Four out of five grades have been posted. I got straight A’s so far. I’m still waiting for the English Composition 2 grade. I think I’ll get an A there too though. The grade should be posted any day this week.

The day after my final day in school, I went out with a friend to have a drink. It was really nice. The place is located between 28th and 29th street at 5th Avenue. I think it’s called 230 5th Avenue bar. It was cold outside, but they have a bar inside too with great view on Empire State Building.

Two days ago there was an Eastern parade at 5th Avenue. I didn’t go there though. I read online that it’s a little smaller than most of the parades here and that it’s less organized.

Today I went out to Brooklyn Bridge with my girlfriend. I really recommend everyone to go there. It offers a beautiful view of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge and there are not that many people going there. Get off at York Street with the F-train.

You have to walk north bound towards the water and then take a left. I think I will go there again but in the evening. There is nothing more beautiful than the Manhattan skyline at night!

I bought something really tasty today! I think it’s sunflower seeds from Russia. It tastes amazing and is pretty cheap. I bought one box for about $2.50. It’s not very big though. One other thing I recommend is McDonald’s offer. One six pack of McNuggets for $1! The offer ends March 31 so you have to hurry!

I’m still working out. I don’t run anymore though. I use a machine for one hour instead. I think that if I would run every second day, my legs would probably start hurting later in life. This machine feels great and gives me a lot of exercise.

It’s amazing that I could fit everything in this apartment. It’s thanks to the bookcases and my bed box from IKEA that it’s working out. The room really looks good and I’m very happy that everything turned out this good!
