A Swedish cycling talent, Emil Lindgren, http://www.emillindgren.com/, was robed yesterday when he was out training alone in the Netherlands Antilles; they stole his bike and threw stones at him. He's not hurt but shocked, which is a normal reaction. His bike has been found and polices are now searching for the two men. It's actually scary, I mean, whatever could have happened, and he was lucky that nothing serious happened. Make your best and recover well; I would die if something like that happened to me.
My throat hurts, I can speak, but it feels like it's swollen. I hope it’llbe better tomorrow when we're going to eat Korean food. 'Cause I don't feel like sitting at home, guess I'm going to party anyhow, but I could be in a better mood.
Sasha called me again; he had been in Astana with his younger brother, that's why they couldn't call me.
Yeah, d'you know what's happened? Somebody knocked at the door, and disappeared. I opened the door, but guessed it was the cleaner who had knocked at another door, so I closed the door again and took my garbage out to the container. And noticed it had probably been the post man who had knocked at my door. Exciting?
New York Rangers won tonight, 5 - 1 against Islanders. And all Swedish papers has wrote about Jaromir Jagr, who's the very best in Rangers history, get a new scoop please, to often you talk about the same thing forever, and it annoys me.
I think it's time to sleep soon; I'm just very tired and actually a bit hungry, so why don’t I eat? Because I'm tired of course...
Tomorrow, I'm going to decide where to go under the holiday, two weeks with nothing and I'm going to go nut, again... I will check out if there is some cycling around, or maybe go to Monaco to check out some foot. I don't know and we'll see then. If you where in France, and you'd been there for six months, what would you do?
No, time to sleep and try to learn some French pronouns, do you hear? I hardly knew what a pronoun was when I lived in Sweden, now I actually read those grammar books and understand the words. It was a great experience.
Ps. Listen to Little Sister by Rufus Wainwright, I like that song, I always feel like dancing or something when I hear that song.
Hey, I'm dying, four hours French lesson and in the end I was lying at the bench, trying to learn how to understand the double pronoun. C'est mieux :) Our teacher told us he would rather change time, 'cause four hours is hard, but worked hard today, we had a little test, and it was okay, except for the last exercise, no fun at all. 12/18, 11/16, it didn't feel good but personal pronouns (in French) and I are not good friends. But I got a pretty good result at last week's test (13/20) which probably means CSN gives me money also next year :) Hey, that's good, but I'm feeling shocked, am I really going back to Sweden in two months? That's frightening!
'Cause the things I miss are my family (of course), meat balls, and my bed. My bed in Sweden is bigger, and I don't share it with my roommate either. Okay, I'm complaining, I like her, but hey, I don't like waking up at night because we kick each other. Or Sergey (my bear) or Dmitriy (my panda) jumps at her face and she gets frighten. But they're so cute....
I woke up at 6:45 in the morning, dark bread with Nutella, tea (Russian) and some juice. Maybe some block of chocolate too, I don't remember.
Went to school, it was a bit chilly, but I was late so I had to run anyhow, and everybody's looking 'cause they don't seem to know the word "stressing", I thought I could take the calm, but I get stressed.
Later I took my laundry to the laundry :) and washed my white, pink and dark clothes. I mean it, I had a washing machine to my light pink clothes, the one who's right about my favourite colour wins all the money in the blue box, about 20€, maybe more.
And later four hours French, and when I came home I went out to sit at the balcony, it was about 10-15Degrees, and because I had head ache and my friend had invited a friend, and I was almost dying of fatigue. But I didn't want to sleep so I sat down in my bed with my computer. And I had got a message here, I liked that... But no, I don't know Sergey, he's just my hero because of a sad thing that happened, you can't stop laughing when somebody’s as happy as he was.
Vad man bör ta åt sig av: “He’s young, he hasn’t figured out what it means to be on a team,” said Davidenko at dinner that evening. “There’s no doubt he’s strong. He’s world champion, so you know there’s something there. I have to teach him what to do in a finish like that, how to work with teammates.” Även jag måste lära mig samma sak, men när det gäller att ta kontakt med människor.
Philippe Gilbert vann Ronde d'Aix och det var roligt att se alla cyklisterna och få heja på dem. Samuel Dumoulin, Jussi Veikkanen och Nicholas Roche allra mest, men det var roligt att se Nicolas Jalabert, eftersom hans bror Laurent gav mig mitt cykelintresse. Paolo Bettini, Philippe Gilbert, Sylvain Chavanel, Jean-Patrick Nazon, David Bramati, Nicolas Fritsch och alla andra var roliga att se bara för att. Eller nej, inte bara så, det var viktigt att se dem för mitt blivande yrke. Och att se OS-mästaren en halvmeter i från en, det är koolt och ger en en kick. Hade egentligen hellre sett Dumoulin vinna än Gilbert, men hans sprint räckte inte till och han fick mig åtminstone att skratta. Varför är dock en hemlighet! :)
Ska för övrigt säga att jag är tacksam över att loppet hade samma rundor hela tiden, då hann man se alla cyklister ett antal gånger. Och stirra på deras ansiktsuttryck, Jussi Veikkanen och Nicholas Roche smilar nämligen båda två när de cyklar. Gulligt!
