Oooh oh oh, now it is so far, my last blog entry! Krass krass krass, go so fast ... In the end I will now give even just a little more quickly conclusion of my year:
During the year, I thought to myself often so "And this is therefore the best year of my life? "Well go, so ...". Now in retrospect I think, though: Absolutely! I think you realize in hindsight how great it was eigtl. Back in Germany, everything is simple as always. The au pair year seems unfortunately zurückzusein soo far, in the beginning can be a little bit about it, interested by the third meeting, but nobody is really more for it. Furthermore, people can simply not understand everything. Stories of 3 year old boys can nunmal also not interested in anyone who is already clear to me:-D
Well, here and there of often quite large boredom opens, you have just way too much time to think about the Au Pair year and Suddenly, one can imagine nothing better than to take care of his children and the Au Pair although during the year as often thought, "Whoa, hey, I'll never take care of children." But present 
t I miss Will and Ben soo much! At least I had a year to watch them responsibility, have 9 hours a day on it was the morning of Will awaken is either rumgesprungen on my bed or has snuggled under my blanket, have listened to Ben and Will have been arguing who can tell me that there is dinner, they've put to bed uuuuuund and and. It was almost around the clock with them and suddenly they're gone. I always fall sooo many little moments that in retrospect were just soo beautiful.

And I miss not only the children but also my host parents. The warning simply the coolest Far and Wide! 
first time my host mother Annie, always cheerful, open, energetic, tolerant, understanding, relaxed, etc. The best example I always kind to her colle 've probably always been that I do at night to ring up 3 ausm bed had my car in encouraging Highway Exit the Spirit had given up and they trotzdm with a beam on his face got in his pajamas, took care not primarily to do with cars but has first asked us " Hey girls, did you have fun? " and I so "Uh yeah, but the car ..." and so "Oh do not worry, it's an old car, it's not your fault." waited with us for the tow, and then after each 
has driven home in high spirits. Some other host parents would probably have been foul-accurate 8 hours ... when we went to Mt Rushmore long so she said to me when we have a problem I should call, it can be somewhat take longer until it is there, but they will come: D And even thought a little girl so "Is she the nanny?" and then Annie said "No, she's part of our family." Ok, I could list 100 more Ex, but I let it'd better: D

nervous type that is always helpful, not worry too seems to have, sometimes not ne too big clue that ("What do you want to drink have? Frankly, I do not know what we have there, but I thought that I'll still sometimes wonder."), for hours in the basement with his spend Baseball Cards ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_pvUtsdExM - that he is, so he spends hours and earned a lot of money) and just all around likeable is!.

And then there so of course the other au pairs with whom one has spent most of his spare time and without the year would be only half have been that great. That's a big difference to Dtld;. In the United States was known whom to call and who can have time in 
Dtld. is always a big gimmicks, then can not and there is, and here and there. In the United States simply al 
les was so much easy, you have to put in the car and has been injected. You could do so much, stroll through the mall, to the best ice cream shops go, Starbucks, the lake, cinema scrapbooking, concerts and so on. Man has always found something! And now we are all scattered in total Dtld. All are whining on how much we want it back again, but also all know that it is nunmal not be as it once was. Well, this is nunmal.

Well, this is nunmal. the luxury to be honest I miss a little bit ... my own car, mobile phone mitm so much as you want, spend his time in great houses, get $ 197 a week, sometimes just book Bahamas, then back Chicago or New York and and and ... but you could already make a lot ...;-)
Well, but now I'm just back in Germany and is not so bad here, but in the U.S. wars just somehow better ...
Thanks to all who have ever read along pretty busy and have boosted my counters (I had with Janice that is always NEN little "competition" Who has more visitors: D). It pays to remain over, one probably yes, I read sometime back that in here or alternate a few pictures and videos inside ...! And to all who take a gap year to consider: it makes! And who has questions may write me ;-)
That's it, that's it, I'm done, your

ps: here are 2 nice sayings about an exchange year, which really agree 100%!
"An exchange year is like a ride on a roller coaster.
First, you really want to go with it and is very intrigued by the idea, then it goes schnell.Man must enter and then come the first queasy feelings. Then there are high and it goes very Tiefs.Aber schnell.Am end one is a bit sad that it's over, a bit proud that you survived it pleased solid ground under their feet would actually habenund sit love to stay again and go. "

Dieses hier bringt so ziemlich jedes Au Pair beim erstmaligen Lesen zum Weinen:
"A year has passed and now we stand on the brink of returning to a world where we are surrounded by the paradox of everything and yet nothing being the same. In a few weeks we will reluctantly give our hugs and fighting the tears, say goodbye to people who were once just names on a sheet of paper to return to the people we hugged and fought tears to say goodbye too, before we ever left. We will leave our best friends to return to our best friends. We will go back to the places we came from and go back to the same things we did last summer and every summer before. We will come into our town on that same familiar road, and although it has been months, it will seem like only yesterday. As you walk into your old bedroom, every emotion will pass through you as you reflect on the way your life has changed and the person you became. You suddenly realize that things that were the most important to you a year ago, don't seem to matter much anymore, and the things you hold highest now, no one at home will completely understand. Who will you call first? What will you do your first weekend at home? What has everyone been up to the last few months? Then you start to realize how much things have changed...you realize the hardest part of being an Au Pair is to balance the two completely different worlds you now live in, trying desperately hold on to everything while trying to figure out what you´ve left behind. We know the meaning of true friendship. We know who have kept in touch with us over the past year and who we hold dearest to our hearts. There have been times when we've felt so helpless being hours away from home when you know your friends and family needed you the most. A few weeks from now we will leave... A few weeks from now we will take down our pictures and pack up our clothes. We will leave our friends whose random phone calls and mails brought us to laughter and tears this summer, and hopefully years to come! We will take our memories and dreams and put them away for now, saving them for our return to this world. A few weeks from now we will arrive.We will unpack our bags and have dinner with our familys. We will drive over to our best friend's house. We will return to the same friends Whose random phone calls and emails have brought us laughter and tears over the year.We will unpack old memories and dreams that have been put away for a long time ... In a few weeks we will dig deep inside to find the strength and conviction to adjust changing and still keep each other close. And somehow, in someway, find our place between these two worlds. In about a month ... are you ready? "
