by the way :)

i am probably *fingers crosseddd* going to europe summer 2010 to be an au pair! i am hoping for france. so now i have to get a passport, line up a job by march, and then get a work visa. then i am set to go! i am really hoping this works out. i love learning french, but i'd like to be immersed in the french and european culture. i believe the best way to become fluent in the language is to put myself out there. i am nervous, and i really really hope this happens. i am hoping i can work for a family that only needs a nanny for around 3 months. that way, if i am homesick, i do not have to wait 10 months or so to be able to come home. wish me luck!
