Waiting

So I have been slacking with my blog big time. I just don’t have the urge to write as much because at night, I just have other things I want to do.

Today is Friday, and I stayed home. I just watched the season 4 finale of Breaking Bad, which was AMAZING. I love that show, but unfortunately, I think season 5 is the last season. Anyways I stayed home today, even though I did have class. Me and the dad took my car to the shop yesterday because it’s been having troubles… not because of me though! And it had to stay through until today, so the dad had to take me to the train station this morning since I don’t have a car, but it would have been a train that’s an hour earlier than usual, and I didn’t want to do that. It’s been raining all day too, so that would have been no fun walking around in.

Instead I got to sleep in some, however the dad took the kids each to school today because I can’t drive his car. It is 42 years old and a stick shift, but the stick shift is on the dash board, and I never learned how to drive it, so I was unable to take the kids myself. Anyways I asked him last night if I needed to wake up the boy in the morning assuming I wouldn’t since I wouldn’t be taking him to school, but he told me I needed to. Kinda shitty, but I just woke him up at 6:30am and went back to sleep, but I could hear them talking and all, so I didn’t fall asleep until probably 8:15am when they finally all left.

So I woke up again at 10:30am and watched an episode of Breaking Bad, then showered, ironed the kids’ clothes, cooked grilled cheese for myself, and just watched the season finale. It has been a relaxing day, but I am little bored, but I will just watch another show I suppose.

Lately I have been so down about au pairing. I just can’t believe I have 6 more months of this… seems like forever.  And I have only been an au pair for like 5 months. It just seems so much longer. I am just ready for the next step, but when I step back and realize my situation, it is really good. I am living here for free basically, and that’s pretty amazing.

I am just excited for next year if it pans out the way I want it too. I don’t know if I ever mentioned this, I probably have, but I am just so excited I found a university with an International Business program in English. I just want to fast forward. It sucks the application isn’t open until March though. One more month of waiting. I am nervous about my living expenses though. I guess I will take out a loan to pay for it all, but can you take a loan out for that? I am considering being an au pair again, but I just don’t know if I will have enough time for school and au pairing. I can’t know about that until I am in school and have a class schedule, and I don’t know how long that will take to figure out.

Basically a month until Mexico! I am so excited to get away from it all. One, I want to see my family. It has been so long, and it will be so nice just being around people who love me. Two, I am ready for the weather and the beach!! It will be weird being so “close” to America, but not going there, but I think I will be fine. And then I think I may have plans for after I come back with Jerome and Vincent. Jerome mentioned visiting their old roommate, Nico, in his town, Rocamadour, France. I have seen pictures, and it’s a village built alongside a huge rock face, so it looks really pretty. I am excited to see more of France, so I hope it all works out.
