My Family had to cancel because of an unpredictable situation. And I’m starting to realize that I need to get back up on that horse and move on. (Not supposed to sound like, I just want to forget that family – because I won’t.) I wrote an email to MyEducation (Denmark) and told them my situation. They were of course very kind and told me that no one could have predicted it would happen. And that it was a sad, sad situation for the family. I of course agree. Then I was told that there was still possibility to go in October/November. And both MyEducation and EurAupair (America) thought my application was very good. So my hope is back up, just a little wounded.
I checked my emails (I safe all email exchange when it comes to the aupair project) Last time, from when I was accepted and got up online in the system until the family contacted me there went 13 days. So if my math still works out, then theoretically I would have had first contact at September 3. And yes I do know that you can’t count on that. The family can contact you from the moment I get up online and until you get a new family or you regret and get pulled out of the program. So if I’m very unlucky I could get a call in January. If I’m lucky (which I hope I am) then they could call me any minute.
I just hope to find a nice, understanding, sweet family who will let me into their family and let me be a part of their family. But it’s still a bit difficult to think of a “new” family, when the “old” family is still in my mind. I had already prepared my self – on departure and living as a part of this family. And because of a terrible and sad coincident – then I’m not going to live with them. It’s hard to understand but I have to realize it. Now I just have to find a lot of patience. AGAIN! I thought it was nerve racking last time. But that was just peanuts. This time it’s nerve racking. You have little time, no family and a burning wish to go. I just hope that ONE family will read my application and think “wow that’s the one. She will fit perfectly” or just a little thought saying “This girl we have to get to know better she could be the one for our family” And I hope that the family who contact me will be the next family I can see myself in. The family who will take me in as a part of them and the family I will spend my year with.
I just don’t dare to put my hopes up high. And feel safe when I have a family next time. I had my flight plans, had received my information folders and book. Not before I’m in my new home, in my new bed, where my new family sleeps on the other site of the wall. Not before then - I will feel safe to say: I have a new family.
Well continues to a whole different issue. My website. I actually have forgotten and neglected my homepage ever since I made the final adjustments. I just don’t know what my next project will be about… I need to figure that one out.
As you all know. I’m on vacation on Tenerife and have a great time with my brother. We have mostly just been relaxing at the poolside, playing cards, reading books, playing monopoly and Yatzy. But we have also had the time to go get massage and had some loooong walks. (Almost 10km in the longest) We talk a lot about everything and nothing. Real quality time. I will put up some photos so you can see for yourself.
At Thursday we will go to the volcano Teide. I hope there is a great weather – so I can get some really nice shots. And Friday we will go to Loro Park. A giant Animal park with over 1000 different animal species included with the killer whales and dolphins! I can’t wait to go!
