I know I haven’t written in over two weeks, I feel so bad,
and so much has happened! Ahhhhhh, ok I’m ganna give ya’ll a crash course style
update on my life for the past 2 and a bit weeks.
Ok first cool thing is I went kayaking with some friends at
this magnificently beautiful lake, and I met some more American friends. The one
friend David who I’m pretty close with plays piano and he and I are working on
writing at least one song by the end of the summer. It’s so cool, I feel like
such an artist! I love it! I will most certainly upload it on my blog once it’s
done :)
Then last weekend I went out partying for the first time in
4 months! I went to Webster hall in New York City, and it was so so so amazing!
It’s a 19 over club and it has like 3 floors and it’s relatively clean and was
just so much fun! Met some more American’s and just had a blast. (

Then last week was Jillian’s graduation from pre-school, so
we did that on Monday and went out for lunch. Oh I took some pictures of the
mall in case anyone wants to know how regular American things look :P
Then this past weekend I went out with a friend to her
friend’s house, met some more new people,
and we just hung out. Then Saturday I went to Webster hall again cuz it
was my friend Benita’s last weekend in the city so we had a long awesome night
of dancing again! Then Sunday I was supposed to go to the au pair meeting to a
baseball game, but I way overslept! :( oh and i saw the naked cowboy in times square! its this dude that walks around singing in his undies! :P
So yea those are my adventures so far, still loving the US!
I have a few random things I wanna tell you guys though. Firstly,
I always have such happy and exciting blog posts, and life here is exciting,
and I wish for everyone in the world who can, to take this opportunity like I did,
but I feel like sometimes I don’t share enough real things like hard
situations. It’s difficult to do though, talk about the sucky things, cuz I don’t
want anyone to get the wrong impression of me. But what I will say is, life is
tough here. You have to make all your own decisions, do everything for
yourself, no one waking you up in the morning, no one helping you find a bank,
you get lost, frustrated, you feel lonely and exhausted and there are days,
yes, everyone has them, where you just want to go home! I want people to know
this so they don’t expect the American au pair life to be all roses and fun. It
does get hard sometimes but I can promise you one thing: it’s so worth it!
Second thing I wanna say is does anyone know how/ have
suggestions as to how I can make my blog better? I wanna have like I wall type
thing where all your messages can go and I can reply to them cuz the more my
followers grow, the harder it is to follow what’s going on in the au pair room
page, it’s looking a bit crazy right now.
And lastly, I wanna encourage you all to stay following, I love
knowing that my life and my stories can help or inspire or just make you laugh :)
you guys are the best! I love you all!
