sorry....


long ago i last did an entry, but right now i just have to make an entry
in which i can be pissed off, cause rigth now i am , why??

cause i had to work today like 8 hours, and i am soo dead and tired...
the thing is, that i have to work so much, while i hear that
other au pairs have to work only like 5 hours a day and earn the same..

my family is okay, the girls are nice, the thing is only that the mother is really
unappealing to me, i dont know why, but it resulted that she is..
and i have to get along with her...that is bad

i have to bring the children to school in the morning-ok
they come home to eat (they are picked up by our housemaid)
i have to bring them to ther afternoon lessons-hm
i have to pick them up from their afternoon lessons

every way is like 20 minutes but with the gilrs its 30 minutes and exhausing
between bringing them to school (me coming back home) and getting again prepared to
pick them up i have like 45 minutes to eat...
i need 30 minutes to eat, so i have like 15 minutes to relax...during 8 hours of woooorkkk
and today i sat down on the sofa these 15 minutes and then EXACTLY in that 15 minutes off, my
hostmom came, and said, that i should overtake the ironing from our housemaid, cause
she is really exhausted always...HAHAHAHAHA
AND MEEEEEEE?? okay i appreciate our mousemaid's work, cause she is really
working alot, but i these 15 minutes off, i should overtake her ironing?
OMG

working hours?
in the morning bring them all in all 1 hour
at 2.30pm (when i come back from my school) until 9.30 i work (these are 7 hours+the one hour in the morning=8)
because when they vome back from school at five, i have to accomapny them to their activities, like
for example swimming course..and meanwhile i have to do the shopping in the supermarket, and then pick them up
form their activity
later i have to wash them, prepare them, help with the dinner, i have to see that they wash their teeth etc ec, until 9 or 9.30 they go to bed!
it is very exhausting
other au pairs, just have to pick them up at 5 (because normally the kids eat at school, but we are living only 20 minutes away from the school, so they come home to eat) and g with them to a park or play with them-not me
i am walking and around all the time, and i feel very controlled by the mom, i gotta say
i feel uncomofrtable when she is there

i am supposed to work 30 hours a week+one evening babysitting
so my working times are monday-thursday 7hrs and friday 2hrs and in the evening babysitting (which means no parties fridays)
and weekends are free...
but today i worked 8 and i didnt have a real break (otherwise i would say..ok)
...i will observe that!


i don't know what to do
i talked to another good au pair friend about that and with my mom, and i decided to
see how it develops, i eman it is ust the 2nd day that the afternoon lessons started and
the activities as well, so i hope i will get used to that, or...or...what?

sorry that this is not a HAPPY entry..

kisses

i am already looking forward to the weekend!
then i see my friends ! ^^

u can give them a kiss XDDDSISA

( MAAAAAAAAAAAAADRID )

one.day.left.
i. leave. home. for. 10 months :'(
GOD HELP ME TO OVERCOME THE FAREWELL PAIN AND THE HOME SICKNESS

haii


some of you might now think O.o what?
And maybe some of you already know that I plan on doing an AuPair year,
now after my graduation from school.
Yeah I did it, never ever school anymore, and before i start stdying at a university
I wanna make more experiences and just live my life a lil bit, without
stopping to learn, nor chill or anything.
So since i was 14 I dreamt of doing an AupAIR year in Spain
AuPair- that means that a girl, like me, lives for like 10 months (sometimes less sometimes more,it depends)
in a host family in the country of the girl's wish-like Spain.
This host family provides yo your own room, gives you pocketmoney and a secure home for this period of time.
In return the AuPair girl has to take care of the children,like babysitting when the parents are working,
or if the kids are older, bring them to school, make homework etc.
Normally it always depends on the family, which tasks the AuPair has to do, some familys want their AuPair to cook, make
some light homework,like cleaning etc. and some just need somebody to take care of the kids some hours during the
day, when the kids come from school. It is some kind of job, cause u earn a certain amount of money.

And the motivation for the AuPair is to learn the language of the country, because when the kids are at school
or you have ur own sparetime you can visit a school, where you learn the language
and when you go outside the doors, you NEED to speak, because you are in the country, and there
is no way to not speak! This is the best practice!
And after i ended my 10 month stay I know the the language perfectly, so this means getting to know a "new" culture, a new life, making experience, getting to know new people (because you also get to know other au pairs who come from every part of Europe)
and yea...just making a life experience

Well and I will go to Spain's CAAAAAAAAAPITAL, which is awesome, beautiful and exciting MADRID !




YAP YAP! a family wants me to be their AuPair for the next 10 months and they live in Madrid, which is a great metrople of europe
I have been there, and I know that I was sooo enthusiastic, because this city is really really beautiful!
My au pair agency (u need an agency which arrange the communication between au pair and host family) takes care of me
Well I think i got a great family, so far as I know, because they have 2 girls, who go to school and are mostly over the day over there
a little boy of 1 year...but the housekeeping girl (imagine there is a housekeeping girl, so no need to clean or cook or something)
takes mainly care of the baby!
I have talked to the current au pair, and she became really important to me and on my decisions, because
she tells me how the family is, what the kids are like, what will be my tasks and that very honestly
i ca ask her anything, which is really cool! And she says its a good family, and so i have no other choice than just trust her
but IN CASE i might not get along well with the family i can always switch the family, with the help of the agency!^^
That is cool, though i think it wont be needed!


I already know the langauge quite good, cause my dad is spanish
but in fact i dont know how to speak it fluently and that is what i want to change, in connection
with gainign more independece~ the au pair thingy seems the best opportunity and now
is the only time i can do it, between graduation and begin of the studies...

I will then go to a spanish language school to learn the language on a grammatical base...
I am really excited about this trip, but I am soooooo, and i mean it, sooooo scared
of the day I have to say goodbye to all my friends, and especially to my parents
but i know 10 months are ten months and not eternity!!!
...it's not eternity......

I will get to know lots of people, will have alot of fun, it will be a life experience, and
boys and girls i have wireless lan in my room, so i will always update!!!

just wanted to tell, on the first of septermber my journey begins...
butt before i give a farewell party, with all my freinds, i will extremly miss...
but okay....-> it's not eternity, right???


Thanks for the attention...quite long i know!!!

Spain's waiting for me ^____^
