FREDRIK SCHEIKE

bortom tvivel och bortom tro, en känsla, en instinkt, ett djup. något du väckt, dammat av och ruskat till liv - mitt hjärta, var har du varit? jag har saknat dig så.

Ouppdaterad men inte oengagerad! Det är bara lite segt att sitta och blogga i mobil, men nu är det så mycket som hänt och som jag känner att jag måste skriva om så nu kan jag inte hålla mig längre. De senaste veckorna har varit stört fyllda med mängder med grejer! Har givetvis jobbat det jag kunnat, men även hunnit med att ha kul och umgås. Skälet till att jag säger "kunnat" var för att två veckor sen så spelade jag innebandy och lyckades ådra mig en ryggskada som kallas 'falsk ischias' som särskilt spökade rejält förra veckan. Alla var ju hemvändare i Påsk så det har blivit sjukt mycket umgänge med massa classics såsom Jesper, Viktor x2, Charlotte och Isabelle men även med nya bekantskaper som Linda - Jespers nya flamma! Sjukt mysigt och lyxigt att få njuta av såna fantastiska människors sällskap. Nått annat kul som hänt är att jag nu betalt depositionen för skolan i New York med start i September, helt stört kul och stort känns det. En helt annan framtid än vad jag ...

Three amazing days since I last wrote here! Thursday - I had plans to go to MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) but when I walked in I just, really, didn't feel like it. I was tired, un-motivated and just fed up with stuff so I actually went around, yawning and wondering what to do. I actually ended up sitting at a McDonalds for like 3 hours, talking to people over Facebook. I went home, into bed and actually didn't regret my choice. Friday, I woke up, had to leave my room cause it was getting refurbished. Since I actually got upgraded to a twin-room, I didn't mind. I ended up going to MoMA after all and spent a dazzling 3 hours looking at great pieces of art. In the evening I had set my mind on clubbing, but when I stepped off the subway, the lurking headache which I had had since early on in the day ninjakicked me in the back of my head. I almost fainted of pain so I decided that clubbing could be saved for a better day. Today has been a day filled with Magic - yes the game, not ...

Wow, I never thought I'd be this kind of "mindsick" (see; seasick - but introvertly). Everything's spinning around and I really don't know what I've gotten myself into. Nothing dangerous, so worried parents/grandparents/relatives - fret not. I'll have to think about it both four and five times before I go public with what I've been through today so despair not, it might come. On the other hand, I've had a gorgeous day. It's been sunny out, I've explored Harlem, West Village, Meatpacking District and more of the Upper West End (where I live). Lemme tell you this, N.Y. is definitely growing on me and even though it's gritty and dirty, it works out perfectly. It's a vibrant, colorful city, not totally unlike Paris or Prague, it's a meltingpot not unlike London but most of all - it's "genuinely genuine". Nothing quite like it even though everything resembles it. Finished this day and evening off with a three-course din...

Wow, what a day. First time I ever feel jetlagged, ever! But still, one just pushes on, you can't give in to it when you're on a trip like this. Said and done, I got up at like half past eight and headed straight for 'Bucks, I knew it was gonna be a long day. What I didn't plan for was the fact that every coffeeshop on every block around here was full. I went down like two or three blocks and found a small little bagel shop and stopped there. Morning coffee and a salmon bagel helped start the day. I went for a loooong walk in Central Park, just barely covering the mid-section. That place is frigging huge! After a while I went up to the Guggenheim Museum of Modern Art to proceed with what I had planned for the day. The museum itself was astounding and the audiotour was exceptional, for $18 it has got to be one of the best museums I've been to so far. At 13:30 I started feeling a little woozy because of lack of energy/nutrition so I went searching for a coffee/sandwic...

Well, here I am, in the middle of the Big Apple already! I can't check in to my hostel room until after 3pm, so what better way for a stinky traveller than to spend his time than to walk around randomly, getting lost and finding his way back again? There will be plenty of more where that came from - so now, feeling stinky, unfresh and pretty darn tired - I found an "internet-booth" in the icecream shop right next to my Hostel. First impressions of NY? People want to stand out and tend to do so all the time. It's covered in black snow, and I mean like highly polluted snow. There are cop cars and cabs everywhere. It's dirty, filthy and genuine and I love it already. Loads of love!
