16/21 months

Another month has passed. Not that I’m really counting anymore, so when people ask for how long I’ve been in the States for, I just say ”for a long time”. Feels better that way - keeping it simple. I was about to tell you what I’ve learnt and experienced since I came to my new host family, but I think I’ll do a post about that when I’ve been here, in the States, for a year and a half. Or some sooner, we’ll see.  I’ve been on this continent for quiet some time now. Hands down the fastest (and most eventful) year and a half (ish) of my life. And I can totally feel that it’s about to come to an end. Just like all good things do. I’m okey with that by now though. I know now what it’s like being an au pair and everything that comes with that, so I feel in a way that I can't "grow" much more in this profession. It’s been a crazy journey with a hell of a ride, but I wouldn’t have done it any other way. I’m crazy excited about going back to Europe and build a life for myself and excluding all people under the age of 15 for a while. Haha. No but really, I’m excited to get a job and earn some real money, travel Europe and maybe even to south Asia if I’m lucky. I’m excited to get my own apartment and drink wine with my OG friends and dance to some real house music (the music in the clubs here aren't the best..). I’m also getting more and more excited about going to college. Can you believe that? What has happened to me.. Even though I’m pretty ready for my final date to come (whenever that is, but at some point during the fall), I can not wait for the months ahead. I have so much planned and I can’t wait for any of it! And leaving my family whom I love so much I can't even tell you.. Get me right - I ain’t ready to be going back to Sweden just yet, I still have a whole summer to enjoy in Cali baby with my friends and family! Let’s stay positive and follow the sun. It’s gonna be MAY!
