semi-wonderFALL…
Posted by jendrik | Filed under Uncategorized
…Wow , I am so creative haha For all of you , that aren´t so creative -here is the explanation lol : The word is a mix from the word wonderful and Fall 
hah Let´s start with the not so nice part of the fall. The part where it rains and it is cold . That´s exactly how this Saturday was but I had to buy some stuff so I could run from store to store . But I finally got my Halloween costume and I am gonna be ….-drumroll-…. Flava Flav lol . I bought a nice package with a viking hat , some crazy glasses and his famous clock-necklace. I promise I will upload some photos of me being flava 
and then I bought a nice new button-down shirt because my old loved one has some white spots on it and I have aboslutely no idea how they got there . Need my mom again to do my laundry haha. Yeah , but after all that shopping I met Gustaf and we went to a Mexican restaurant to have dinner but it was already raining like crazy so at the time we got to the restaurant , we were already really wet and after the dinner we walked to Emma´s appartement and the rain didn´t stop so when we arrived at Emma´s my pant were completely wet and I don´t want to start telling you about my shoes but hanging out at Emma´s was fun and we were kind of a lot of people but I dont know why we left the appartement to go to a Jazz club because I really liked the “party” at her appartement but anyway the group split up and me and two other germans went to a less expensive Jazz club but I have to admit, that the Bar 55 is way better eventhough the music at the “Fat Cat” was great , too.
And now to the wonderful part about the fall: The great colors in the trees and the mild temperatures.
First Gustaf woke me up at 12 pm and it felt sooo good to just sleep in and I am kind of thankful that he woke me up because I don´t know how long I would have slept without his call .So, I took a quick shower , talked to Laurenz, unfortunately for just a short time because I had to go downtown because I wanted to take some pictures of Central park during Fall but because it´s nicer to have some one with you I met Carol in Central Park and we shot some pictures and just walked around and enjoyed this beautiful day . It was so funny because the same guy who was playing guitar when I took my photos in the summer was in the park again today and so we sat down and listened to him for a while and once again it was great ! And then we walked back to the subway and there was this whole Jazz band just playing outdoor for free in the park . Thats New York City , Baby !! I am going to miss that sooo bad !!Then Carol and I took the Subway down to the Highline where we met Gustaf and we bought a pizza and sat down on the Highline again and once again like all the evenings I had on the Highline , it was simply amazing and the sky was red from the sunset and it was just great !! Too bad I just brought a T-shirt and that is why we had to leave because it got cold , like it always does at night .Well, I guess you learn from your mistakes, right;) New pictures are up on flickr and ready to be viewed by you guys …soo enjoy http://www.flickr.com/photos/36726886@N03/
I have to go to bed now because I have my midterms tomorrow.
Good night …

…wow 1/4th of my year is already over and time passed so fast …..well sometimes not really but most of the time and I am enjoying my fall really much to far and I am glad I am here because I ve heard that the weather is not so great in germany and I have great 18 ° C and sunshine here 
feels more like a late summer than fall . Oh and I think I didnt mention it yet but I am going to come home over christmas and will be back in Gießen for seven days from December 24th untill December 30th and I am soooo excited to see all my friends and family again …even if its just for a week but that really rocks !!
okay just a short post but I just wanted to remind you how long I am already away but if you look at it from the other side it means that there are only 3/4th left lol

…Well, first of all I would like to appologize for not writing in such a long time but …..Well, I don´t have any real excuses. I guess , I was just lazy . Sorry about that but here we go again . Hmm , there was nothing too special in the last couple of weeks . Business as usual and I still don´t like to get up at 5 45 every day but I now found a good train back so there is no real hurry after college but the English class is still ridiculously easy and I would say I didn´t learn anythiny there so far . Seems like I was in a pretty good english class the last two years !!!;) But I am kind of in the routine now and that makes the mornings easier because I am able to do things faster than before.
I just want to tell you real quick how my last weekend was because it was really nice and I would say I used the last warm days pretty good . It all began on Saturday where I was just buying some stuff and I went to a drum store to finally get my hands around a drum stick again after almost three months and so I just jammed a little bit and then I met my swedish friends again and they brought along another two nice swedish girls. I am so looking forward to my Sweden trip next year haha and then we went to Brooklyn and had a great dinner in a nice little restaurant and after that we went to a bar where they had all those weird beers with crazy tastes . graprefruit and coffee are just a few examples ….It was very hard to drink that stuff for me as a german lol . But we had a lot of fun and then I slept at Emma´s and had a nice tea and a bagel in a nice little tea , coffee bar the next morning and after having my tea I went to Union Square park because I scheduled a skype meeting with Laurenz because it was his birthday on Sunday and so I spoke to him and gave him his present virtually lol and then I talked to my parents and after a while Gustaf came over and we went to the drum store again to jam a little bit again and the next thing on the schedule for sunday was Brooklyn Heights so we walked over the supercrowded Broolyn Bridge ( stupid tourists haha ) and stopped by a nice flea market under the Broolyn Bridge before we finally walked over to Brookyln Heights where we sat down and listened to some music and I had my macbook with me so I called my mom on Skype real quick and I showed her the gorgeous view of Manhattan and the bridges and the Statue of Liberty you have from Brookyln Heights and then we decided that we should get something to eat and we walked back over the Brooklyn Bridge and had a great sunset over the Statue of Liberty , too bad my camera didn´t fit in the backpack anymore. Yeah , but the day ended with a great chinese meal in a nice but also cheap chinese restaurant . Definitely one of my best days since I got here !!
Right now it starts getting chilly here but I heard it is way colder in Germany so I am glad I can still walk around in a Sweatshirt .
Gotta go grab something to eat ..
