AN AMERICAN STUDENT ....

Hey guys how are you doing today?

I need to admit I am pretty good. Why you ask? Because I got all my papers from College that I need to apply for student visa and it looks good so far.
Maybe some of you dont know that I am trying to study here in USA.  It is very expencive if you compare it to Europe where it is for free. I choose Human sciences - social work so let's see how it goes.
But first of all I need to go home and request my student visa. I got my date already so now I am just waiting that the date comes.

So what else is new? Not much I would say. I am happy that my friend Mafer from Mexico found a family in Short Hills wich means she is gonna stay here longer wuhu :) haha I am happy about that.

The whole weekend we were in bed watching tv. It was very relaxing hahaha.. and this friday the 30st of October I am going to see my friend Ajda in Connecticut where I am also be for Halloween. Not sure if I am gonna do something tho :) Not a child anymore hahaha :)

Oh yea I am going home to Slovenia from 17 to 27 of December!! and I am so very excited because I will see all my friends family and than also my friend Melissa and Valentina are comming to visit me from Germany and Italy! that is so awesome and every time I think of it i feel so excited :) we will have so so so much fun!!

I miss you ...

It is just hard being an au pair from the aspect where all your friends leave at some point. Even tho they are still your friends of course its not the same at all! It is so sad when There is a group of people and than a minute later you find yourself alone. Today was very very hard for me to control my feelings and not to cry. When I started to think that most of my friends left...it is just crazy...

I miss you Melisa !!

Oh sweetie I miss you so much! You were the one who always draged me out of the house, always wanted to do something, never gave me 10 minutes for myself but I loved and I still love you for all you did for me. You made me more social, you made me laugh all the time and you were so silly with me! I just miss this sillines and I miss beeing around you all the time. I know you are still my friend but we will never again have this days when you would call me and say : c'mon move your ass let's go for a coffee or for lunch... I guess I will miss that for ever! I love you so much and I hope you are enjoying your German life now. miss you girl!

Lilly I just can't find words how I miss you too! I miss our farm trips, or just hanging around in my room sitting on the floor and eating cupcakes! You are my first friend here in Usa and I wil never forget about that! I miss you so much but I am happy for you that you choose a path that is better for you! Please come and visit me soon !

Valentina I know I did not spent too much time with you but I do really miss you. I miss your positive attitude and just everything about you. I never saw you in bad mood, you were always smiling and that gave me energy to be happy myself! Hope to see you in December

Jordaaaan ! Where should I start with you? My freaking movie partner! Now I always need to go alone and it is borring !! I miss you and I miss your happines and sillynes and love to act..you are jsut the funniest and happest and most honest guy I know. Miss all our panera bread evenings and also all your sillines when you got drunk :) Come baaaack :)

Martina ! You are the last one who left me! You silly honest girl...I just think you are seriously the most awesome girl ever. I love your hairstayle, I love your jokes and I love your seriousines...haha you were always telling the truth and you did not give a sh*t what other people said or tought of you. I wish I could learn from you ! I will see you soon ! I promisse I will visit you !

I just can not express how sad I am that theese people left me ! They were just so awesome and every and each of them is just so much different but all together we were perfect match ! I would love to turn the time back but I think this is not gonna happen... guys it was awesomet ime when we were together and I will never forget it! I know each of you have a new life now but I just can not exclude you of mine. You were a big part of it and still are ! I love you so much and yea...It is even harder for me to let go because I was the one who came first and I am the one who is still here and all of you left me  :) I know it is not on purpose It is just life but sometimes this sucks ! I wish we could be neighbours for ever !

Take care and don't you ever dear to forget about me !

Baxter Lane, West Orange, New Jersey, United States of America

Hello my lovely ones...it is time for a new post :)

As you can se in the name of the post I am gonna tell you something about the place where I live. It is almost 20 months now since I am here and when I first came to Baxter Lane in West Orange I was so surprised. All the houses looked the same. I was wondering how am I ever gonna remember wich house is ours without looking at the mailbox with the number 35?!? 

Well eventualy I got used to It and now I can find a way to our house with closhed eyes :) I love our neighbourhood because 1.) It is called Bel air of West Orange ( I feel like fresh prince of Bell air :) 

                                     2.) The area is very very nice and neat

                                     3.) Free pool and gym at the clubhouse where we can also hang out with friends

                                     

 Yea I admit it was hard in the beginning to go anywhere without navigation. Even to find my aupair friends, every time I put their adress in the navigation  the navigation took me on different route. It was crazy but now I know how to go to most of the places that I usualy go without navigation. I can even find my friend Ajda in Connecticut without navigation and I am very proud of that. It is about 2 hours driving away. And NO my friends...streets here are deffinately not like steets in Slovenia. Highways are much wider, more exits, more names...exits do not have names but numbers....so for example...to go to Ajda I need to :

- go to I280 (interstate)

- turn right to Parkway north (yep very easy confused with Parkway south)

-follow until exit for Teppan Zee bridge

-follow to exit 9 S-N

-follow to exit 42 and than few more turns and you are there...

Its not like from Krsko to Ljubljana:

go on A2 and follow it from Krsko to LJubljana hahahaha :)

Ok let me tell you something about West Orange. Yea before I came I was laughing about that name (zahodna pomaranca :) ) but now it is very normal to me. Around West Orange we also have Orange, East Orange and South Orange. I would say West Orange and Sounth Orange are the most safe of all Oranges. East Orange is quite dangerous. I would not go there in the night. And unfortanately West Orange is the only Orange without a train station, so I need to drive to South Orange or to Orange to go on a train for New York City. But it is ok it is only about 10 minutes away. Not too bad. 

West Orange is very known after Thomas Edison. Yep that is the one who invented the light bulb. When I first saw that he was from here I was pretty excited. Who knew I will once live where the light bulb was invented :)

Anyway even tho I am here for so long already I did not go to the Edison museum jet wich is very sad. I promisse I will go and I will write more about it than. 

We also have ZOO in West Orange and it is very very cute.

So now you know a little bit about the town where I live and I hope you like to read my blog. Let me post some pictures...

 The sighns for streets are a little bit ( a lot ) different thatn in Slovenia :)

Also speed limit sighns are different ! this is 30 miles per hours 

 One big difference between here and Slovenia is that here they have most of the electric and phone wires in the air when in Slovenia they are mostly underground.

 Well....if anyone wants to write me a letter here is my adress...yep all the houses have the same mailbox here in our neighbourhood. 

Our house and the car I drive whenever I am working :) my room is top right window :)

Talk to you soon peeps, your crazy travel lover Sabrina
