All good things are worth waiting for

Many, many things happened in the last few weeks.

The most important one is that I wrote my final exams (and I have no idea how I survived that). During that time, I didn't forget about my Au pair application, but school was more important. Let's hope all the studying was worth it :p

However, I was a bit worried because no American family seemed to have interest in me as their Au pair. Other Au pairs said that there's no reason to worry because the families only start searching for Au pairs who want to begin during summer. But, you know, that's easier said than done.
So I worked on my application again. I uploaded a new profile photo (the old struggle) and I also uploaded another reference, so now I am infant qualified which means that I am allowed to take care of children who are younger than two years old.

My counselor from the organization once said that there are many families with young children, so that probably more families will be interested in you when you are infant qualified.

Well, apparently that's true.

A few days ago, I almost got a heart attack because finally an American host family wrote me! Yaayyy

Proof

I still can't quite believe it.
Especially because they are perfect! They live in Ithaca, New York. We have the same hobbies and interests and I really think I would fit in that family perfectly.

Of course there's a "but", ha! Because one day before they wrote me, my Internet stopped working and I could not skype with them yet. But tomorrow's the big day! I am so excited :D

I will look through other Au pair blogs and search good questions that I can ask and tips for the conversation. Aaaaah, I really am excited. The mom told me that they also speak with other Au pairs, so I'll have to try my very best.

*fingers crossed*
