I am back (part 3000)

Hey guys,

I realised it has been a while since I last wrote so I want to bring you back up to date what has happened.

To update myself on what it was I wrote last, I just read my most recent post and I feel so bad. No, really.

I indeed extended for six months so I could go to New Zealand. And leaving the US and my lovely host family was the hardest thing I ever had to do. My time from June to April was the best. I felt like I really got to know my host family and finally understood their lifestyle, how they were thinking and what to exspect.
Why I was not happy at first was, because my exspectations were wrong. What I wanted was a second family. I always diregarded the fact, that I was there to take care of children. I just wanted “new parents” because I was not happy with my situation back then.

I am quite sure I have told you before how hard it is for me to make up my mind… I have thought about extending even before I arrived, almost every day.

Before I came here I was quite sure I would extend.

Impatient

Only 19 days until the new American Football regular season starts!😍🎉 I am so excited! The first game I could watch in the US is one of the 7pm games on October 22 (week 7) but somehow I doubt my host family is an American Football fan – unfortunately. Maybe I get to know an … Continue reading Impatient
