The Glamorous Au Pair Life :)
I realized today that if I don't get my 'me' time in the morning to drink coffee and read the NYTimes, then I am **not** a happy camper... It's good to know those things, no?
Today, I met Ina in the AM to see about signing up for German schule. We went to the VHS (the public college...like a community college) to get their info because I wanted to take class with my friend Tara (yes, I have a friend!!) Anyway, Ina's other au pairs went to the VHS and she is not impressed... she wants me to go to the nicer public school (Bildungsverein) but that doesn't start for another month. So because I can't make a decision to save my life, I have asked *everyone* I know for their input, including 3 year old Kathi... I will decide by tomorrow AM. Why is it that school is *still* the bane of my existence? Between picking a German schule and narrowing down the grad school list, I am going nuts...
(Oh, the cool thing about grad school indecisiveness is that I emailed all the profs I was close to at WM to ask for advice. It was ten professors! That made me feel reaaaaaallllllllly good!)
We went to a gorgeous biergarten tonight and I got this 'Beer spritzer' thing that was really good. I was supposed to go out with Sven again tonight, but I am tired and I am gonna decorate my room and then crash so I can make sure to get my 'me' time tomorrow. (Honestly, I am so much more informed about what is going on in the states right now. I <3 my NYTimes!)
Upcoming events:
Tomorrow, 20.00--Meet Sven for Billiards.
Friday, 20.00--Meet Nansa for drinks (she is the family's first au pair and coming to town to visit)
Saturday, 15.30--'Young Wine & Onion Cake' with Nansa and family friends, at night, fireworks display #2 (I think it is Switzerland this time)
Sunday, ??--Hanging with Tara @ her house, learning to knit, church, etc. :-)
night all!
