Only a few days after my last blogpost I went to my mailbox and the only thing awaiting me was this beautiful envelope: The letter was thick and heavy and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to open it. When I finally did, my heart sank when reading the first word: ‘Congratulations…’ Really didn’t read… Continue reading Status on NY dream vol. 4
Status on NY dream vol. 3
Still haven’t heard from CUNY but I guess I have to remain patient for another few weeks.
iRead
I was the girl that started reading novels at the age of 8. I was always at the school’s library up to the point where I didn’t find the literature appealing enough there!
Simplifying
My apartment is almost empty. I’ve sold most of my furnitures. My favorite red couch, my large black room divider. I threw out my coffee tables. I gave away kitchen supplies to my grandfather.
Life on standby
There’s a reason a lot of you haven’t heard from me in a while. I’ve been going through a tough time with a lot on my mind. My time in New York was wonderful but created new issues that I have to deal with. Some situations have changed to the worse and .. well, without… Continue reading Life on standby
40 days and I’m homeless
I’ve lived in this studio apartment in Copenhagen since September 2009 but in forty days I’m out. I don’t have a new place to move into yet but I’m sure something will come along. Have some health issues I’m taking care of as well as needing and wanting to finish my dissertation on time. All… Continue reading 40 days and I’m homeless
Things to do instead of …
Yo! Pro-Poor Tourism in USA, specialization report, hand-in Monday, 20 pages .. So as I’m getting more and more frustrated about the fact that I have to write something that has already been written before I find myself coming up with excuses to do much more important things and my mind wanders off and suddenly… Continue reading Things to do instead of …
It’s been 4 years
September 26, 2006. It was an early morning, didn’t sleep all night. My bags were almost packed and all I had to do was get as much coffee down without puking – I was a nervous wreck. I didn’t blame anybody but myself. I thought I could handle this but when the day finally arrived… Continue reading It’s been 4 years
Patrons of the Art – Walking tour
Today I went with www.manhattanwalkingtour.com on a tour booked by a couple from one of the more up-scale hotels in New York. They wanted a tour around the neighborhood where their hotel is located. Luckily that’s one of the things we’ve been working on recently so we were prepared. At first glance you might think… Continue reading Patrons of the Art – Walking tour
New York 2010 bucket list
My bucket list
I always said I would
Someone wrote me an email yesterday that got me thinking. “So many people talk about doing something but never do. Takes desire,determination and help from others to make it a reality.“ So, how long have I been talking about and making a fool out of myself , wanting to live my dream in New York?… Continue reading I always said I would
Preperation: 6 weeks in USA
So friends, let me first of all tell you that I passed my exam this Wednesday with surprise. The subject was cultural understanding; UK compared to Denmark and then Customer relation management; complaint handling. It was really interesting sadly I didn’t study those two issues so I was pretty much left to what I knew… Continue reading Preperation: 6 weeks in USA
NY, the best place on earth!
August 29, 2008 (NY trip #2 finished) I’m back in Denmark. Feeling crappy. The days over there were starting to feel like a regular life, but now I have to face the reality – daily life is in DK. It’s been the best experience for me, and I’m really happy I finally went again. All… Continue reading NY, the best place on earth!
I nearly got married!
… men saa ikke helt alligevel. Men jeg var saa heldig at blive inviteret til bryllup i bedste Mr. Big og Carrie stil – Paa City Hall! Et dansk par jeg havde moedt i flyet, havde valgt at blive gift herover. Jeg synes det er den mest fantastiske ide overhovedet! De havde behov for et… Continue reading I nearly got married!
I love New York.
Kind of failed my blog for a while. Doesn’t mean it’s not true (=that I love NY) I actually think about New York all the time. I didn’t get to travel there this year, but maybe there’s going to be a possibility to go in February with my family. I hope so. I really want… Continue reading I love New York.
WUPTI sagde jeg så.
Onsdag eftermiddag efter skole tjekkede jeg som så ofte før, min mailinbox. Deri lå et nyhedsbrev fra Wupti.com med nogle 48 timers tilbud. Blandt andet en printer til 299. Jeg slog til og købte samtidigt det kamera jeg længe har haft kig på. Allerede torsdag morgen modtager jeg printeren. En lækker Lexmark (det ligger lis’som… Continue reading WUPTI sagde jeg så.
… and ACTION!
(note fra 2020: Jeg tog dansk som enkeltfag på HF i Korsør i 2007/2008) Her den anden dag mødte jeg for første gang i 4 uger et par minutter for sent. Da jeg kom til skolen, stod to af mine klassekammerater uden for døren og fortalte mig at der var optagelser i gang derinde. Landet… Continue reading … and ACTION!
Jeg skal købe digitalkamera – hjælp ønskes.
Mit kære olympus FE-100 digitalkamera blev ødelagt, da jeg hjemvendte fra New York sidste år. Heldigvis fik jeg dækket størstedelen fra min rejseforsikring men brugte aldrig pengene til at købe et nyt. Jeg har kunne bruge min mobiltelefon men nu hvor turen igen går til New York vil jeg gerne købe et godt kamera. Jeg… Continue reading Jeg skal købe digitalkamera – hjælp ønskes.
New York State of Mind, sagde jeg.
Om ca. 26 dage bør jeg være på vej til New York. Grunden til at jeg skriver cirka er at jeg faktisk ikke har købt billetten endnu. Ja, chok! Jeg har hver dag fulgt billetpriserne og op til for en uge siden kostede de omkring 3100 kroner. Da jeg så beslutter mig for at købe… Continue reading New York State of Mind, sagde jeg.

Need for speed .. I mean, Coffee!
Mennesker vælger alskens drikke, præparater, urter og kemi for at få energi. Jeg vælger kaffe. Jeg elsker kaffe eller, jeg elsker at drikke kaffe! Duften, smagen og virkningen! Jeg er i mit es med en kop go’ kaffe. Det har ikke altid været sådan. I mit barndomshjem blev der ikke drukket kaffe. Og når jeg… Continue reading Need for speed .. I mean, Coffee!
Tysklandsferie .. ja tak!
Som lovet: En dejlig 5 dages ferie veloverstået. Vejret har været skiftende, en masse sol og varme og perioder med meget regn. Vi boede i telt de første 3 nætter på Camping Scandinavia og så en nat i hytte ved Heide-park. Jeg stritter som regel altid i mod at campere i telt men denne gang… Continue reading Tysklandsferie .. ja tak!
Ferie.
Skolernes sommerferie er forlængst startet. Og nu er industriferien også begyndt. Så må det sandelig være på tide at jeg også får lidt ferie. Turen går desværre ikke til New York her i sommer – men til det udemærkede Tyskland! Rapport kommer, når jeg er hjemvendt. Nu hvor jeg nævnte New York, så drømmer jeg… Continue reading Ferie.
