Time just flies by. It’s kind of ridiculous that I only have four days left in this cold and wet country. I still have a hard time believing all this is true.

Anyway, today I finally started packing. For a month now I’ve had a box where I’ve put stuff I wanted to bring along, and today I sorted out what I want to have in my hand luggage and my check-in luggage. It’s a start, a small one, but still a start!

Today I also tested to Skype with my youngest cousin. She is so adorable. I gave her parents my address in USA and I am hoping for a Swedish candy package sometime next year :).

A new year has arrived and I have high hopes on this one! In only six days I am on my way to New York and the au pair training school with a lot of other au pairs from around the world. On the 11th I will finally meet my host family in Carlsbad, CA. I can’t wait!

I wasn’t sure if I was going to start a blog. But after some thought I figured it would be good for my English. It was quite a while ago I studied it in school and since I am going to speak Swedish with my host family, this could be good practice.
