To tell a story when the book has ended
A lot of ppl might wonderin': Why I'm continuin' to write posts on this blog even tho' my Florida adventure is over? Well, there r two answers to that.
First of all, I am bound to come back to Fort Lauderdale one day. That's a promise I've made to myself, a goal that I'll never let my eyes get away from. Well, until I reach it that is, but u know what I mean...
To be honest there's not been a single day gone by wit'out me thinkin' about Fort Lauderdale, the ppl I met there, what went down, everythin'! Sum things, for obvious reasons, I've been thinkin' more of than others, but the bottom line is that I can't get FL outta my head even if I wanted to, n I def don't want FL outta my head!
Imagine, an experience that touched ur heart in so many ways, would u honestly say that u can can get over that to a 100%? No, even if u do get over it u'll never b fully over it, u know. Like, u can b over it by 99.99%, but that 00.01% will never b! N I don't wanna b over it! Even if it hurts, breaks my heart at times over n over again, that I'm still not there, that I've could've done sum stuff diffrent, that I wasn't finished wit' sum stuff, n so on, I still don't wanna get over it just 'cuz it was the best time of my life!
I will never b a 100% over it, I don't wanna get over it, which makes me wanna go back, n I'm def goin' back when the time is right, which in turn makes me wanna keep on writin' posts on this blog to make ppl understand what an absolutely amazin', life-changin', incredible experience I've actually had. N to make ppl aware that they too might b experiencin' the same, similar, thing one day...
FL brought out the best of me. I peaked on such a high personal level that it's really hard to explain. Sure there r sum stuff I wished I had done better, sum choices I could have seen earlier or done in a diffrent way so the outcome would have been a lot less painful n what-not, but those things did only affect me once I got back home. While I was there it was just perfect...
So, to, like, sum the whole "first answer" up, I'm writin' this blog 'cuz I never wanna, or cant', get over it! I'm writin' so ppl can understand why my heart beats so strong just for this place, the ppl I've met, the whole experience. N, 'cuz I will b back one day n I wanna describe the road back to FL thru this blog. N of course I'm prolly still gonna b writin' when I do get back, but that is, of right now, an whooole other part to the story that lies waaay ahead into the future...
But it was one more reason I'm still writin' posts. As I almost, kinda said in the headline, even tho' the "book" of my FL adventure is over the story is still bein' written. The story about us, the ppl who came, n left Florida. The story after the ending, so too speak.
As sum ppl've already figured out, after FL ppl try to stay in touch as much as possible n wit' as many as possible. N it's kinda obvious why, isn't it? As I've been sayin' like a million times now, u can't get over Florida, the ppl u have met'll become a part of ur heart in away that's hard to describe, unless u've experienced it urself. N u wanna sumhow keep a 'lil bit of FL light still glowin' in this cold n bitter, (european overall,) weather back home. So, ppl try to stay in touch.
What I basically mean is that even tho we're not in FL anymore, n the story is over per se, it doesn't mean that it's all over, u know. We're still flying, drivin', takin' the train, whatever, all across Europe, all across the world to go n see each other! Of course we can't b together as much as we were in FL, but reality doesn't really allow u to do stuff in a way that u want to do 'em. Atleast a lot more less, while back home, than often. But I'm doin' this, writin', to show that in a way, as we want it b, n as I've been sayin', it's not over completely. I'm tryin' to show ppl that the friends, the amazin' ppl u've met, the light, the warmth, the love u've shared can b reigninted, relived again. Perhaps not to the full FL extent, but just for those short moments when they r reignited u'll feel like ur home, yes I said 'home', in Fort Lauderdale again.
So, that's the second reason I keep writin'. To tell ppl that even tho we're not in Florida anymore we still try to see, n do see each other as much as we can. To tell ppl what happens when we do meet each other again. N when we do, we do ignite that good feeling that is Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA once more...
... The story is still being written even tho' the book has ended. N even if it seem to b written on transparent pages wit' invisible ink, there is still a story goin' on. Sumday the pages will become easier for other ppl to see, to pages will turn white n the ink black, but for now, even tho' it doesn't seem like it, our story, my story is not yet over...
N that's..! That's why I'm still writin' posts on this blog!

So what else..?
U know it's funny like how this has come so affect me so much. I mean I've been travelin' before, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia n what-not, but even those trips together cannot really reach the level, touch my heart, in a way that FL has done. Don't get me wrong, they were amazin', unique in themselves n I wouldn't trade 'em for anything, but FL was sumthin' diffrent. Let's just say this, all these other trips I've done've been amazin', but FL can't really b described in words, like the other ones can. There should b better words for what FL is...
Well, this is what my limitied brain capacity can produce atm! Umm... Oh, yeah, Paris, France! Well, it's still on. Hopefully I can get sum money in time, but I'll know by next week. I'm not missin' out on this reunion, man! F*ck that!
Anyway, I think I'm out for today actually!
... But before! I just wanted to remind ppl, again, that I'm on Facebook (robin.olsson3). N please, seriously, I've put up links to my FB all over this blog, so it shouldn't b that hard to realize how to get in touch wit' me. Also, even if the links for sum reasons do not work, but they f*ckin' do, there is enough info of how to get a hold of my FB anway.
Well, that's it! Atleast for now I think! U prolly won't hear too much fr me until after France... But! U'll never know...
King out!
Peace!

So, here we go, this is how u can reach me if u wanna ax questions about Fort Lauderdale, Embassy CES, STS or anything:

Legend lives on...
Well, well, well! I always knew I was gonna make an impact, leave a mark down at Embassy CES Fort Lauderdale. Come on! It's me, man, the Loudest Motherf*cker around! Haha. And now my legacy seem to b confirmed to b solidified! But how can I say that? Well, here it goes...
Last week, I think it was, or maybe this weekend? Whatever! Anyway, I was doin' my daily check on Facebook and I saw that the new activities coordinator (Jamie got fired, but that's another story) had put up sum pics fr the when the school were playin' soccer. And what do I see? The pics, or sum of them, are marked wit' "Ambassadors"! Tho' they've added "United" so now it's "Ambassadors United", but still! I was the one who named the team. I was the one who came up with the Ambassadors! No one can ever take that away fr me! And fr what I understand it's not gonna go away! So... I should b gettin' royalties sh*t , bro. Haha.
Just check this out! http://willemaaan.blogg.se/2011/march/embassy-ces-fort-lauderdale-ambassodors-socce.html
Man, I'm still the King of Kings! I might be in self-caused involuntary exile fr FL, but I AM STILL the King of Kings! Haha!
Another interestin' thing is that the, so called, "E-Sign", which I came up wit' too, obviously, is still bein' thrown up! I've seen this on pics on FB too. And the most intrestin' thing about it is that ppl who r throwin' it up on the pics r ppl I didn't directly teach it to. Which says a bit about how it has spread. On the other hand the ppl I've been seein' E-signin' have been ppl who were there at the same time as me. However! These ppl r also ppl I didn't really know that well. And then it can b argued wether the new students r doin' it too, but, again, still, my stuff lives on! N when I make my return to the school, Fort Lauderdale, Florida I will make an even bigger impact! 'Cuz the next time I'll b a guy who knows what's goin' on, a veteran, the guy who been thru it before and i will never ever become tired of Florida. I left my heart, my whole being, in FL, man n I will come back to reclaim it!

But reclaimin' myself unfortunately prolly a chapter far ahead in my story. But there is no denying I will b back, one way or another. N next time it will b a longer stay. I will do everythin' over, I will do it right! I've gotta plan this time... I will b back...
But let's talk about what's been goin on lately n what's comin' up in the near future. Well, couple of weeks ago i was a representative for Embassy at a STS fair.
But let's talk about what's been goin on lately n what's comin' up in the near future. Well, couple of weeks ago i was a representative for Embassy at a STS fair.
It wasn't a big fair or even a big thing. Just sumthin' the STS office in Gothenburg throws together every now and then. Anyway, my job was to tell ppl my experience in FL n, like, the whole language school experience in general. However this evening I didn't have so much to do, but as I said it wasn't a big thing n the language schools kinda got overlooked since there was universities there aswell. But! Fr the lil' job I did they said that they will prolly contact me when they're havin' a bigger fair. 'Cuz it's me, man. Haha.
Oh, btw! After many "if's" n "but's" it looks like I'm finally headin' to France! If I can scrape sum money together... But hopefully, very hopefully, that'll have sorted itself out by the time I'll order the plane ticket... We'll see.
Yeah, that's what's up atm. Well, that's what's up concerning FL n stuff.
Anyway, that's it for now!
King out!

Lights! Camera! Action!
OK, baby! I'm back bloggin' a lil' bit! The King's gotta show himself, right? Anyway since I've gotten myself a YouTube account, 'cuz that's to my knowledge the only way to post videos on this blog, I've might aswell do that!
So! Here we gooo...
So! Here we gooo...
The first one I've already posted once n it's the video I made for the reunion in Swiss.
The second one is taped durin' Spring Break '11 when me n Pierre decided that Vanessa had spent too much time in the sun n needed to go into the water. Haha!
This one I've already posted once too n it's durin' one of our classes.
This is the footage of me n Marilia goin' on The Giant Slingshot up in Orlando. Julia is filming.
N the last one is fr my last day at school sort holdin' my goodbye speech. N hey! Notice how skinny I've gotten fr the Spring Break video n the Class video...
So, I hope ya'll enjoy these videos n for ur sake I hope I'll b able o update this blog as soon as I can again. Speakin' of that! I just wanna make things clear that this blog prolly won't die, because I will go back to Fort Lauderdale again n I prolly will use this blog more efficiently once more. That being said, the blog will still be about FL whileI'm back here in Swe, however the time between post will b looong at sumtimes... Hope ya'll will b able to live wit' that.
Anyway, as always I'm on Facebook if anybody want's to ax me sumthin so...
King is out!
Peace!

Frustration
Well, it's what I've suspected. The second reunion has run into sum troubles. Hehe. A combination of reality n, haha, "minor unorganized thinkin" has put the whole thing kinda in limbo. But it's no big deal. What am I sayin'!? It's a huuuge deal since I miss these guys so much, but again, reality makes it hard to get together wit' ppl whenever u want to. Especially when they're so far away. Things just r what they r n it's kinda frustratin. But u know, that's just how it is... However! I still might be headin' to France as I mentioned I perhaps would do in the previous post. U see, I spoke wit' Emilie, kinda just a minute ago, n she invited me to Seb's birthday party-thing in September. Problem with this is that I, myself, might prevent me fr goin' since I've got stuff prolly comin' in September. On the other hand, logic suggests that the party's gonna happen on a weekend so I really hope that's gonna work out. One thing is clear tho, I will def see ppl again. It's just a question of time. The right time... Man, reality makes sh*t so more complicated.
Speakin' of reality, let me give u guys sum advice if u ever plannin' to do sumthin' similar. N I mean the "big" trip, the Florida trip, not the "quickie-go-anywhere trip". This mostly goes out to the readers thru STS, but I guess it easily can b applied to anyone who wants to make a big trip.
Anyway, back to the business at hand! OK, here we go, bro... Before u make a big trip like this, at least try to plan what ur gonna do after you come back home, have that prepared, or, even harder, try to plan it while u in the middle of it. Bottm line is that at least one of two things, or perhaps even more things, r gonna hit when u get back home. But the two main things, n as I said, at least one of these two r gonna hit you. The first one is def gonna hit 'cuz u're gonna miss the ppl, the place n all the fun stuff u guys had! Many variables can b weighed into this one, but dependin' on what type of person u r, n under certain circumstances, worst case scenario, u're gonna a miss the whole thing to (almost) the verge of breakdown. But, as I said, "worst case scenario". Second, adjustin' back to reality is also a thing that, well, it depends on the person too, but the longer u're away fr ur normal life the harder it's gonna b to go back to it. N as previously mentioned, other this can happen too once u get home.
I don't care who u r, but it's gonna hit u a lot, a lil', one way or another! N these things eventually lead to other stuff, like frustration. Frustration that ur not able to see the ppl u had so much fun wit' more often, frustration of not bein' able to do the stuff u use to do in FL , def frustration of the sh*tty (northern) european weather n so on, n so on... N that frustration can lead, well, to sumthin' I would like to call "broken walls n bloody knuckles"...
So, how do you prevent "broken walls n bloody knuckles" fr happenin'? Have sumthin' to occupy urself as soon as u get home! I mean, the trip will affect u like this, but as long as u've got sumthin to do it'll b easier on u... I'm not exaggeratin'! That's why u need to have sumthin' beyond ur trip! This is important..!
Haha. OK, now when I've gotten that outta my system I'm gonna go workout for a lil' bit in a minute!
Oh, n as always for u ppl readin' this thru STS, log onto Facebook if you have any questions about Fort Lauderdale, Florida or other stuff. Just search for 'robin.olsson3' (http://www.facebook.com/robin.olsson3)!
So, France...

Crusading
Well, it looks like I'll b writin' in this blog sooner than I expected... Again... Anyway, last time I wrote was about the (first) reunion we had down in Switzerland. N, yeah, it looks like were gonna have sumthin' similar again pretty soon. This time in the land of the baguettes, home of the smurf, where they use to like beheadin' ppl, the birthplace of the frog n snail cuisine, France. So, u can see why I'm "forced" to write again. Haha.
This time it's "more" for the french ppl of GII. What I mean by that is, in Swiss, except for 2 frenchies, a lot of their fellow country men, n women, couldn't make it. So, to make it short, we're goin' to France, bro!
We don't have an exact date on it yet, but it's said it'll b in (late) August. The letters B-B-Q, were mentioned. Hehe.
Man, looks like I've begun a "crusade" right about now to go see everybody I met down in FL. Startin' in Europe.
Oh, it's prolly deadtalk, but I wouldn't b surprised if it actually came to b, but sumbody said that we'll prolly throw sumthin together like this in September aswell. Awesome! I mean, even if we don't, we're still gonna have these gatherings a lot I think. I hope it.
Man, I love these guys, I truly do. N I want u readers to the get a grasp what bond u form wi't ppl down in FL. U won't get the whole thing 'til uget to FL n then come back. The ppl u meet at Embassy CES Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale, Florida r simply amazing! I love 'em. There's nothin' simpler than that! <3
Speakin' of Embassy, I came across a video fr class a while ago on Youtube. Meant to post the link earlier, but for sum reason I just didn't.
Anyway, I think I wrote about this during my first month. Well, I know I've written about it, but I just can't remember when. Whatever!
The video is bein' filmed durin' one of our lessons wit' Connie n we're doin' sum sort of roleplayin'... So this is just an example of how the lessons down at Embassy CES Fort Lauderdale can look like:

Man, I love these guys, I truly do. N I want u readers to the get a grasp what bond u form wi't ppl down in FL. U won't get the whole thing 'til uget to FL n then come back. The ppl u meet at Embassy CES Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale, Florida r simply amazing! I love 'em. There's nothin' simpler than that! <3
Speakin' of Embassy, I came across a video fr class a while ago on Youtube. Meant to post the link earlier, but for sum reason I just didn't.
Anyway, I think I wrote about this during my first month. Well, I know I've written about it, but I just can't remember when. Whatever!
The video is bein' filmed durin' one of our lessons wit' Connie n we're doin' sum sort of roleplayin'... So this is just an example of how the lessons down at Embassy CES Fort Lauderdale can look like:
Hahaha. Man, I can remember this like it were yesterday, bro. Holy sh*t I miss it!
Well, I think we can establish that I, after all, prolly will write in this blog more often than I expected. That's if we do a lot of these reunions n atleast in near future I think that's a possibility that can't be ignored. Otherwise I don't think so, no...
Anyway, see ya'll later!
Out!

Aftermath
"YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" That was basically what I said, literally, as I saw Christoph, Vanessa n Domi, as we were exiting the trainstation. Haha. Damn. Was so unbelieveable meeting ppl fr FL again.
But let's take it fr the top shall we...
Well, we've been talkin' about a reunion ever since the first one fr "our group" left FL. So, last week I flew to Switzerland to help out Nadja wit, the preperations for the whole thing.
I landed in Zurich on Tuesday n the others, non-swiss-german ppl, arrived on fri-sat. Man, I can't even describe in words how happy this reunion made me...
This was "became" mainly a GII reunion, not a Florida reunion. What I mean by that is the people at the reunion was ppl that have been living at GII. I would have loved to have had a 100% Florida reunion, but since this is reality n not Florida per se, not everybody were able to make it. Which was sad in it's own way. I would have made anything to make everybody I ever met in FL to show up. One person in particular... But, the whole thing were so amazing anyway. We had an awesome weekend. Which was good. I think we all needed that.
Oh, yeah! I made a video for the reunion, a scrapbook video:

Lucky for me everybody liked it. Oh, n u're watchin' it right now i recommend doin' it in HD, the highest quality possible.
I posted it later on FB when I got home the next Tuesday n I'm glad I got the same feedback about the video there. Hehe, one person, I don't know if that person was exaggeratin', but the person told me that the video made the person cry...
N, man, on that day that I left. I knew it was gonna b hard, but still when the day comes u don't really know how to handle it. I almost dropped it at the airport. Haha. I had to wear sunglasses just t make sure...
However this is not the last time we're gonna do sumthin' like this. N I will not keep my sanity if I'm not able to see u guys again. Haha. 'Cuz I love u guys! More than u can imagine... N hopeully the next time, somehow, I wish that everybody can show up...
N now, concerning this blog it'll prolly b a looong time before I will update this blog. Unless another reunion lies ahead in near future, but fact of the matter is that it looks like the only times when I will write in this blog again will mostly b when we will have reunions or if I decide to hit the road again. N i will b hitting the road again, just don't know yet...
I love u guys! <3
'Til we meet again...

Third time's the charm
I don't know why I'm writin' this nor do I know why I'm writin' this in english... Anyway, I'm enforcin' the 00.01% chance of me ever writin' in this blog now!
As u might already know, this blog was created on the request of STS Sweden so other potential students would have the oppurtunity to see how life was in Fort Lauderdale. But since this is suppose to b a more of a "clean cut publication" I can't, or more correctly, couldn't, post everythin' I did here. So... For the third time, if ppl want to know more of my Florida adventure, questions, whatever, just add me on Facebook - Robin Olsson (robin.olsson3)!
This post is a sorta FYI-post just to let u know that I will eventually write about the aftermath. Why not now, u ask? Well, for the moment, let's just say that homecomin', the month of June '11 n perhaps onwards, is preventin' me to do that. Weird? Yes. But that's just the way it is! So... While I'm min limbo right now I promise u guys I will write about the aftermath in the future! I don't know when, tho. Perhaps tomorrow, in a week, in a month, in a year..? I honestly don't know. But it will b written!
So in the meantime, if there's anythin', again, go on Facebook n look me up!

Just a dream...
Zzz... Uuh? Where am I? Man, I'm in my own bed, my room. Weird. It's cold. Really cold. It's dark. Where's the sun? Where is warmth? Where r all the happy faces?
Man, I am home..! Oh, sh*t! Feels like I've been in hibernation for the past three months, dreamin', havin' the best dream of my life! ... N now here I am. Wakin' up into a cold n dark reality. Fort Lauderdale felt just like dream. Just a dream. N as it is wit' all dreams, u've to wake up sumtime...
Anyway, this is how I spent my last moments in Fort Lauderdale...

Day 84 of my adventure started out in a pretty uncommon way. U see, I rarely wear shirts. In fact, as long as I have the alternative not to wear a shirt I don't. But on that day, even tho I had the alternative not to, I chose to wear a shirt! Why? Graduation day, baby! I kinda pains me to admit, but I believe that u always should wear something more formal when u reach sum sort of academic/official goal. Haha.
I also, as u can see fr the pic in the beginnin', held my last announcement thankin' everybody for an amazin' time down here! N of course makin' sure that ppl were gonna party that night! Haha. But, for real, I truly love every single one of u guys down a Embassy n I thank u again!

So, after school I started the painful job of cleanin' out my appartment. Packin' my clothes, doin' the last dishes, handin' out stuff that I didn't need anymore, detergent, paper plates, stff like that. To my surprise that went relativetly fast! Hmm... How unusual.
Then! It was time for my second Goodbye Party! Man, I love u guysI We brought back Friday Nights at Green Island again! Hopefully it can stick even wit'out me. Haha.

The whole night eventually came to an end down at "66" where I'm hopin' u guys r gonna make it into the new "Embassy hangout" (on Fridays). 'Cuz the place is pretty awesome n a lot better than the sh*t club "Hookah"!
... N the night ended pretty awesome aswell. Haha. After I'd hugged everybody goodbye n were on my way out the DJ played 'Danza Kuduro'! How fittin' is that? My absolute favourite song played as if it was a walkin' out theme! I love Fort Lauderdale bro! Love it! ...
... N the next day it was all over. I left goodbye notes outside the doors of GII, checked out, took a cab n started the long road home...

... N then I woke up fr this amazin' dream!
The time I spent down in Fort Lauderdale, I can honestly say that up til now, was the best time of my life! It's true! No other trip I've done, tho they were amazin' too, were as perfect as this one. I can't really put in words 'cuz it was so perfect that u can't understand unless u experince it urself. I mean, 'perfect' is a good word to describe it, but still u have to experince it to understand to the full extent what it means to live in Fort Lauderdale!
I've no regrets about comin' here. I made a lot of friends fr all over the World, I met a girl, I had the time of my life!
For u readin' this via the STS-website (I'm gonna take this in swedish):
Om d e nåt ställe i USA ni måste ba besöka så e d Fort Lauderdale! Me lite självförtroend å lite jävlaranama så kommer ni ha en alldeles otrolig upplevelse här nere. Ja menar, Kalifornien e säkert ett jättenice ställe at åka t, men för mig så e stället alldeles överexponerat. Visst d hade ju vatt kul att se alla ställen man sett på TV å film å sh*t, men man har ju till viss del redan sett d! Fort Lauderdale elle Florida i allmänhet har ett underbart klimat å alla e jättetrvliga å laidback här. Å d finns så mycke att göra! Varje da e d nåt på G. Ja lovar er, Fort Lauderdale e ställen att va på!
N so, for all my beloved friends I met in Fort:
I, truly, love every single one of u! I'll miss all! If any of u ever decide to visit Sweden let me know! From the bottom of my heart I love u!
This is by 99.99% the last time I write in this blog. Maybe I'll use it again if I go travel. I don't know. I might write in it again to let guys know about the aftermath. We'll see. But for now, this is my final goodbye! It's been a great ride!
Signin' out for the last time!
I. Am. Out!!!

Oooh! Elvis has left the building!
Hooolyyy sh***t!!! This is my last day, man! Oh, my goodness! I can't believe it! Man... Tho, this has prolly been one of the most emotional weeks of my life, but also one of the best! Amazin'! N I bet u guys wanna here it in more detail? Haha. All right! Here we gooo!
As I said, this week was gonna b emotional n hit it of pretty good in that particular area. It was Mike's leavin' day n believe me that wasn't easy...

Me, Mike n Anna were sittin' inside Roman n Sergio's room. Chattin', rememberin', that stuff u know. Then we started watchin' pics n finally we got the "brilliant" idea of playin' the song "I'm Coming Home"... Well, to makes things quick: Anna started cryin' n, oh, man, I just felt like i couldn't b there any more. So I said bye to Mike n went down to the beach to clear my head. 'Emotional' is the keyword right now, bro. Love u Mike!
The next day started wit' big anticipation. 'Cuz I had a tattoo appointment that day at Bruce Bart Tattoo up at Oakland.
Call me crazy, call me stupid, call me whatever, but the tattoo turned out awesome! My own concept designed by a tattoo artist. But sh*t, p*ss, c*nt, f*ck, c*cksucker, motherf*cker, that God damn hurt! Since been about 4-5 years ago since I last did a tattoo, I had forgotten how much it hurts... But totally worth it!

I'd love to tell u guys the full meanin' wit' this tattoo, but I don't have time for that, nor is it easy to put down in written words... I know, weird, but u guys just have to deal wit' it! ;-) For those who do not know me n is readin' this sh*t, if u have the privileged of someday meetin' the King of Kings one day, face-to-face, I'll tell u the whole story behind it.
Wednesday. Party time, baby!
Wednesday. Party time, baby!
Haha. The "official" Goodbye Party for me were set up this day. U'll get the meanin' of "official" later. Anyway, I would like to say 'Thank u!' to everybody that showed up n even to those that did'nt show up or were unable to, 'Cuz I love u guys! A special thanks to Anna, who helped me wit' everything! Thank u "Lil' Sis''!
NaDine...
Again, thank u everybody! Thank u Anna! "The Loudest Motherf*cker at Embassy", "The Voice", "The King Of Kings", call me whatever pleases u, but I'm just gonna say 'My name is Robin n fr the bottom of my heart I'll thank u guys!'
Speakin' of 'Heart', it was me n my sweetheart's, NaDine, last time together yesterday, Thursday... Man, no offense to anybody else, 'cuz I love u guys, but the person that I'll miss the most around here is NaDine! Bar none!
Anyway we planned to have dinner at a restaurant that evening, but due to the combined n impressively incompetens of both the Fort Lauderdale transit system n the american healthcare system n other reasons I will not mention here, we were a lil' bit late...
The original plan was me takin' her to a mexican food restaurant down at Las Olas, but as u prolly already gotten, didn't really happen. So, my back-up plan was to take her down to the restaurant "Shooters", riverside, 5 mins fr GII. But, wit' my luck we got there late aswell as the kitchen just had closed...
Wit' that in mind, we figured that most of the of the restaurants nearby were prolly closin' down their kitchens too. Haha. So went to Wallgreens n bought sum food 'cuz it was prolly best to make the food ourselves at my place n NaDine wanted to cook for me!

Man, this girl is utterly amazing! I wish to God that I could spend sum more time with her down here... But things doesn't always play out as u want 'em to. N this is a great example of that! Good God, man. After a perfect night, PERFECT, even tho' the day n the food didn't went as planned, it was really f*ckin' hard sayin' goodbye to her! U see she had to catch a plane to New York at 4 AM the mornin' after... So, at around 2-2.30 AM, I think, I had to take her outside to grab a cab for her. I really, REALLY, didn't like that, at all! ... N then she left... This might seem really cheesy, but I watched the cab drive off into the distance n then when it was gone I was still lookin' for it, searchin', for a minute or two...
Missin' her bad... For ppl who know me, I gave her the one of my caps! The one with the Gothenburg insignia on it, my hometown. Feel free to interpretate that hower u guys want to...
NaDine, I miss u! We will see each other again! ...
Yep, n this emotional week isn't over yet! We still got today n tomorrow to deal wit'! Haha!
King out!

PS. I'll forgot to tell u I graduated today! But I'll write about that tomorrow or when I get home... DS.

Aaaah, damn! I mean, I always known that it's inevdible, goin' home. U prepare for it, but still when the day comes it'll feel like a shock beyond anything! Right now I'm preperin' for it, but the emotions I have right know, sh*t, still prolly burst out in the most unmanly way possible. Hahaha! I might cry... God damn it! F***ck!!!
Anyway, for the moment, let's not speak of the horrible future. No, let's talk about fun times past, lately, Friday-Sunday to be exact. Haha. As u guys prolly already noticed (by the pic) this is one of the (main) reasons I don't wanna leave... But let's not keep goin' around sh*t!
Friday, well, it was just another usual Friday, bro. Well, not quite, but still. It was time for a lot of familiar faces to graduate n some of 'em leave Fort Lauderdale... Regina, Ju, Michaela, Nadine just to name a few...

This day was absolutely C-R-AZ-Y, crazy, bro! The day itself didn't hold too many outta the ordinary things, when the sun had set... Oh, boy! I don't know, must've been sumthin' in the air or what-not...
The start of all the craziness started at a bar down at Las Olas, the Elbo Room. U see I got kinda invited to 2 "Goodbye gatherings". I was suppose to start down at Elbo n then later work my way up to Exit 66. Well, even tho Elbo was good, we, for reasons I can't explain, got kicked out. But that was prolly was the best thing that could've happend, 'cuz then we all decided to go up to 66. By the time we got there we joined forces wit' other Embassy students n all of a sudden we were around 30 ppl strong ready to take on the club! N a lot more of Embassy were on their way..!
Needless to say, but here it goes: Embassy OWNED Exit 66 that night! N in all my drunkeness I still were able to function in a pretty good way. I mean, I was seriously f*ucked up, but I can still remember (most of) the night. U guys know, Embassy especially know that when I'm in a party mode n get goin, I GET GOIN'! Talkin' wit' everybody, dancin', I did it all! I even managed to tell the DJ to do sum Embassy chants. Much appriciated by the crowd I might add. Haha.
N everybody was havin' fun! I haven't seen a gigantic group like this fr Embassy at the same place, at the same time havin' an awesome time since I arrived here during Spring Break. I love all of u guys!

I can't say this enough about this night: Crazy! Just a perfect night!!! N, oh, u prolly wanna know about the pic in the beginnin'. Hehe. Nadine... Not french Nadine! This is swiss Nadine! I met her on my first day of school. She actually started school at the same time as I. N three months I re-discovered her again! To bad it was during my last two weeks... But what the future holds I do not know, but I'm just gonna cherish the time I have left n just see what happens... I've just added more reasons why I should go visit Switzerland in the future! Haha! But seriously I will def keepin' in contact wit' this girl... As I said to u: U, hun, right now, r one of the main reasons I don't wanna leave!
Haha. N all the love this night did not only extend to just a single couple. Haha. No, way! This night held love enough to everybody!
What a night..!
But! As always, to nights like this there's a downside... It usually occurs the day after. N this was no exception. Saturday morning I woke up in the worst condition I ever been in down here, perhaps ever! My God, I could barely go outside my room! I slept, on n off til' sunset. That's how bad it was!
I felt rally bad 'bout this. Not 'cuz of me, but for Mikael n Nadine, the french one, 'cuz this was the day of their Goodbye Party.

But I pulled myself together as much as I could n the party turned out pretty good anyway. Tho, I didn't drink! Couldn't! Seriously, I thought in my mind that I was gonna die if even looked at a beer can...
N even tho it was a Saturday night ppl, I guess, were to tired of goin' out fr Friday, so instead it ended on the beach wit' a nightly dip in the ocean...
... Then there was Sunday. A very important day for two things. "French" Nadine left for France n I attended my very first NBA Game! The Heat VS the Bulls down on South Beach, bro!
So me, "Stiff-Meister" n Michael headed down to Miami...
Man, it was amazin'! Seein' LeBron, Wade n Bosh, Derrick Rose n Joakim Noah. Incredible! The whole show around it felt almost surreal, u know. 'Cuz seein' these superstars IRL can't really b desribed in words... As the NBA put it themselves: "Simply, amazing."
The game itself wasn't so bad either. Intense, close, but eventually the Heat bacame the victor by the score 96-85. Bosh had 34 points...
So... Haha. That was my weekend, filled wit' stuff, bro. Man, I really gonna miss this place! I don't wanna leave!
King out!

End of days
It's comin'... The end is near... Tic... Tac... ... Well, I guess the World didn't end today. However, there is sum truth it. But I'm not speakin' about this bullsh*t about the World will end today. No. For a person wit' average intelligence u'll prolly understand that I'm talkin about my trip. N it will most def end! Sad. But that's the way it is. "All good things must come to an end." "Nothing lasts forever." (Sigh.) Haha. But enough about that! U guys prolly wanna know what's been up since my last post. Well, here it goes...
Marco n Adline left last week. So on Friday(, Adlines last day,) after school, in the evenin' we decided to go down to Hollywood, to a latino bar called Spice (Restu-Lounge).
Marco n Adline left last week. So on Friday(, Adlines last day,) after school, in the evenin' we decided to go down to Hollywood, to a latino bar called Spice (Restu-Lounge).
Man, let me b honest... Spice was awesome! I've never been to a place like that before. Latino music, live dancers. Awesome! The whole night were more or less set up by me n Cotton so u knew was gonna b great. Haha. Cotton had also booked two tables for us down at the place. But we were a huuuge group so two tables was, even tho good, not enough I think. But to sum up that whole Friday: We had a great time down in Hollywood!
... N the next day, Saturday, Adline left... But, as I keep sayin', "the show must go on" n we still had one more goodbye party to go to, Mr "Spaghetti Boy" himself, Marco Civaroli's party.
Since it was the day after Spice, I thought that Marco's party was gonna b a sorta, kinda easier "gathering". Oh, damn, was I wrong! Not only was is not "an easy gathering". It was awesome! A lot better than I expected.
Hehe. Crazy, crazy. Crazy! A lot of things went down at this party, which for obvious reasons I'll not write down here. Let's just say that a lot can fit in the cathagory 'Crazy'. Haha!
So, needless to say, this Saturday could also b summed up in a few words: We had a great time! This. Is... Fooort Lauderdaaale, man! We have fun, we have a great time all the time, bro! Yeah! What!? Haha.
Oh, yeah, I booked myself a tattoo appointment. I'll get my second tag this comin' Tuesday. Haha. It might've been a sorta impulsive decision, but nevertheless I'm not gonna regret it 'cuz it will symbolize n stand for the amazin' time I've had down here in the Sunshine state... As I said: U'll see...
It was Mike's b-day last Tuesday. So we threw him a surprise party. I was so proud of everybody here at GII, man. Everybody pitched in to make this a great as it possibly could. I think we had 3 or 4 kitchens cookin' n preperin'. I love u guys, so proud.

Even tho it wasn't as big of a party here at GII as it usually is when I'm in charge the food n the effort everybody put in made the whole thing great. Again, I'm so proud of u guys!
The rest of the week went on kinda normal. School, parties, the standard stuff around here u know. Haha.
Oh, BTW! I think I forgot to tell u guys this last time, but I took a test to move my a** fr lv 6 up to lv 7. Well, needless to say, since I'm awesome, bro, I passed it! But I can unfortunatly move up. Which sucks big floppy donkey d*ck! N the reason for that is that they're "too many" in the lv 7 class. That is wack 'cuz classes r not suppose to b that big, especialy not the lv 7 class. Also, not to b to cocky, no, this is kinda justified, I speak a lot better than most of the students in lv 7 right now. I should b in f*ckin' lv 7, bro! On a paper I have three reasons why I should b in that class: First, obviously, I passed the test. Second, my lv 6 teacher strongly recommended to end me to 7. N third, after a month, circa 8-10 weeks in a certain lv ur automatically suppose to move up. But, whatever! I'm just sayin' I should b in lv 7!

I mean just look at this (progress) report! I'm what most ppl would call a straight A student. I've got an average test score of 85% n only missed a total of 2,5 days of school, almost a perfect attendence after 3 months! Just sayin'...
Well, since this was suppose to b posted this Friday, two days ago I guess I could tell u about this weekends craziness since it's Sunday... But u guys r gonna have to wait! It'll b worth it! Haha. All I can say that this Friday gave me the worst hangover I've ever had down here...
N today I'm goin' down to South Beach, Miami. We're gonna watch the Heat against the Bulls, baby! Let's go Heat! Or as Greg says: "Let's go 'eat!" Haha! This motherf*cker's funny, man. He can't pronounce the letter 'H'. Haha.
I'm goin to Miami! Welcome to Miami!
King out!

15 days left...
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... My Florida adventure is soon to b over. In two weeks my ass'll b sittin' on a plane back home to cold ol' Sweden... But I'll get to that later on!
A lot of things have been goin' on lately since I last updated. To start of, Dominique has left us. So we had ourselves a BBQ as a good-bye party. It was nice. Altho' we struggled a lil' bit with the grill, but the whole thing turned out pretty well. Ppl had fun n most important of all everybody got a chance to say goodbye to Dom.

Not too much happened after Dom's departure. We sorta discovered that the rock bar (that doesn't play rock at all), 'Exit 66', down at the beach was a great alternative to the usual clubs n bars we hangout at. To make a long story short about this particular case, Exit 66 made us kinda crazy in the sense that it made us take a nightly dip in the GII swimmin' pool. Which was fun. Haha.
Oh, yeah! Me, Pierre, Roman n Sergio went to Sawgrass Mills where I finally got my ass outta the chair n bought myself a official NBA basketball jersey! The LeBron James, Miami Heat jersey to correct!
If there's a possibility wit' my limited amount of money ATM I'll buy a black Dwyane Wade jersey n a white Chris Bosh jersey aswell. Why? For u who r not NBA fans, James, Wade n Bosh r the three best n perhaps most recognized players in Miami. N I would like to have all of their jersey in diffrent colors. Needless to say, this is a NBA fan thing...
In recent day we've had a lot of visitors down here at GII, or in Fort-L general, sorta. First up were Adline's friend from Miami/Tallahassee, FL, second up was my friend Danielle (I'll get to her in a lil' bit), Marilia n Julia had their parents come visit, today we had sum swiss guys arrivin' to see Civan, Cansu n Nina, I think, n the new french girl, Nadine (will get to her later aswell), will also have a friend to come visit within' a few days.
Adline's friend, Emilia, timed her visit pretty good 'cuz the Saturday, the day after she arrived, she tagged along on perhaps one of the coolest things I, we've done here. A boat trip/party! Man, that was aaaweeesooomeee!!!
The whole thing was set up by "King" Donovan. U know, the guy who set up Taha's penthouse party. So, Saturday we got up pretty early for a Saturday, around 11 I think, n went down to the riverside for the boat to pick us up.
Just he trip itself were amazin'. I mean, the sun was shinin' bright n the view over the canal fr the boat was undescribable!
There was not just us fr GII. Of course sum of Don's friends tagged along aswell. They were pretty cool, I don't remember their names, but nice to hangout wit'.

We had so much fun on that boat that the cops actually stopped us. Haha. Nothing really serious happened. He just told us what we couldn't do while on a boat. For example, no standin' up on the deck, not that many ppl on deck, no limbs out side the boat, n so on n so on...
After the boat trip we decided that we would continue to have fun at GII so Don n sum of his friends joined us n we made a hell of an awesome afternoon at GII!
Later that day my friend fr Chicago, who I met while volunteering at a Lion Park in South Africa, Danielle arrived in Fort-L to visit for a few days. I took her to the Cheescake Factory down at Las Olas n showed her the outer part of our school down at Riverfront. I would've loved showin' her a lot more, but both she n I was exhausted, her fr her flight n me fr the boat trip. So we decided to call it a day n just go home to our residents n sleep.
But I would make that up to her! 'Cuz on the followin' Tuesday night, unfortunately, her last night, I took her n 15 other ppl down to Exit 66!
But I would make that up to her! 'Cuz on the followin' Tuesday night, unfortunately, her last night, I took her n 15 other ppl down to Exit 66!
The night turned out a lot better than I expected. 'Cuz the thing was that at first I'd promised the new french girl, Nadine that I would take her, Danielle n Adline to a latino club, but for reasons I don't wanna waste time on here we didn't. So I decided to take 'em down to '66 instead. But a lot of ppl wanted to tag along n all of a sudden we were 17 ppl. N u know what they say: "The more the merrier!" Which in this case were exactly that. N I think Dani had a great time after all before she left the day after...
It was kinda bad that Dani didn't arrive on a Wednesday instead of goin' 'cuz he followin' night we went to my favourite place around here, the America's Backyard. Where we had n awesome time. I, we always have an awesome time at the Backyard, man. N the new girl seemed to enjoy it aswell.

Speakin' of the new girl, Nadine, she seems to b a really awesome person. Too bad she's only here for two weeks. Right now, we need more laidback n fun ppl like that who can make a positive impact at first impression. 'Cuz lately, GII, has become a lil' bit weird... The atmosphere've changed somehow. I don't know why that is. It's a lot calmer thatn it used to b n ppl seem to b a lil' bit tired in general. Again, I dont know why that is... Perhaps it is te fact that a lot of ppl, a lot of familiar ppl, are leavin'. We're in some sorta transition from "old to the new"... Well, we'll see what happens these last two weeks for me down here. Hopefully the atmosphere will change to the better, to the way it was when I got here. It's still fun! Don't get me wrong, but it used to be funnier!
N I know it's kinda early to say this, but, undoubtedly, I will miss this place. I'm already thinkin' about comin back in Septmber if I can afford it. If so, I will b doin' LSA courses n elective classes n stuff. But only for a month. I'd like to stay longer, but my economy at that time will prolly not allow me to stay for a longer period... But that's hopefully in the future! Right now I'm just gonna try to enjoy he time that I have down here as much as possible n now it's really late n i need to get to bed. Sorry, for the late update, but I can't do it all at the same time! Haha
Night!
