SPRING BREAK In Daytona Beach, Florida

 I just came back from one of the greatest trips in my life! This concept of Spring Break is amazing - especially when you go somewhere warm :) So, this post is probably going to be a bit long - even though it's just a summary...

It all started Saturday morning at 7 AM. Lotte, Eduardo, Hugo and me met up to walk down to the bus. We had to take it to Philadelphia. In Philly we then had to take the train to get to the airport.Then we had to fly to Atlanta and then to Daytona Beach, Florida :D

Atlantic City

Last weekend was absolutely crazy! Friday night I was hanging out with Päivi, Hugo and Päivi's roommate, Natalie watching the Olympic semifinal in ice hockey between Finland and USA. During the game Natalie tells us that she is going to a concert in Atlantic City (Las Vegas, only on the east coast and smaller) on Saturday and then she asks if any of us wants to join her. Me and Hugo looked at each other for 5 seconds before deciding that that was a great idea!

New York, New York

Hi folks!

Last weekend I went on a road trip to the city that never sleeps with 6 other international students. We were Lotte (Denmark), Päivi (Finland), Sam (England), Eduardo (Mexico), Hugo (France), Thomas (Belgium) and good old Razzle Dazzle! We left Friday at noon and were home again Sunday at 8pm.

It finally happened!

Sooner or later it was bound to happen... I have maxed out my credit card which means I have spent more than $4,000 the past 30 days - oh mama! It doesn't make it any better that I'm going to New York for the weekend! I still have money in my account, don't get me wrong :P So I just hope that my back up card still works as it is only a Visa Electron. Otherwise, I would have to use the card I have connected to my poker account - but I don't want to touch my bank roll before I absolutely have to.

So far the plans for the weekend is to go to the Empire State Building and to go to see the NY Islanders against Tampa Bay Lightning (ice hockey). I can't wait to see the game since there's a Danish guy, Frans Nielsen, playing for the Islanders. Other than that I think the must sees are Central Park and Ground Zero.

Snowmageddon in Bloomsburg :)

Finally we have serious amounts of snow in Bloom. It started during the night and continued all through the day, so now we have around 40cm of snow! School was closed today so I slept in. When I woke up, me, Lain, Spencer, Eric and Tim (my new roommates) went to Monty's for some good old fashioned breakfast.

I had a cheese steak with french fries and a soda. It tasted great but I didn't feel too good about myself after eating that sort of food for breakfast... So, this was the beginning of what turned out to be a really good but unhealthy day! After breakfast we went to play in the snow. Lain put on his skis and the rest of us shared a tray we found. I'm almost certain that I will catch a cold after spending an hour in the snow... but it was fun!

Later, some of us international students had planned a surprise party for a French girl, Sonia. From 5pm to 10.30pm I didn't do nothing but eat. At first there were loads of different cakes. Then we had some taco shells and after that we ordered pizza. So really, apart from maybe half a liter of water, I have really lived like a true American today.

 Maybe I should spend a couple of hours in the Rec Center tomorrow?

Oh well, see ya!

P.S. This is what Bloomsburg looks like after almost 24 hours of continuous snow:
