Lets grow up

I am horrible at posting things when they happen. Now that the holidays are upon us, I am kind of reflecting on the last months. So this was in October or something but I will probably post more old pictures today.

In two days I will go home. The whole last week I couldn’t think of anything else. It has been 152 days and finally I will see my famiy again. So today I took a little walk to take some pictures of my home for a year. Eton is always pretty but christmas and darkness make it especially picturesque I think.

*gasp* Where did we hide the christmas present we bought for her yesterday?

One of the girls forgetting that I am literally three feet behind her on the stairs. 😂

You know it is time to go home over christmas when you start relating all those cheesy christmas-love songs to your family...

I would make a moodboard but I’m not a moodboard-y kind of person. I just really love autumn!

I just got asked by my younger one if her brain was sticking out? Like she showed me the back of her head and asked that and I was like….. i can’t see your brain? I think you are fine??? :o

I'm just sitting in the mud pit right now and it's nice!

Out of context this doesn't make a lot of sense

Today I had to email one of my former teachers to ask for a reference for my application for University. For that, I had to use the formal you we have in Germany. And it felt so weird!! At first I thought it was just about contacting a teacher after half a year but I think it is about ‘siezen’. In english, you don’t use the formal you. When talking to my family or German friends here I don’t use the formal you. I haven’t used it in about three months and it already feels weird. It feels waaay too formal. I mean, I’m not talking to the queen or anything. It is just another teacher. I have never been a fan of “Sie” but when I was in the German equivalent of sixth form I kind of got used to being ‘siezed’ as well. So for some time I kind of liked it. (It makes you feel so grown-up!) But now the spell seemes to be broken. I am no longer a slave of the ‘Sie’! I am freeeeeee! And I am a bit melodramatic, I know. :)

I realized I haven't posted anything in quite a long time. Sooooo? Tomorrow I will post something a bit longer? Maybe? Hopefully?

I might need to go to the nail-polish-girl after she finished painting her own nails!

You’re not allowed to steal any of my toys because they have to go to space.

I actually have 3 days off! I only had to get the girls ready for school today and now the next time I have to work is on monday... I can actually sleep in! And have a sleepover with a friend in London and do things with my freeeeee time!! Life can be pretty great :)

I am going home for christmas! I talked to my hostdad just now and although I suspected that it would be like this I was a bit afraid he would ask me to stay. But he said I can go home!! He even said something about three weeks which is so long! Wow I am so happy right now! He also told me that I am "absolutely brilliant" with the girls. I mean, people here always exaggerate a bit I think but still it feels pretty good to be validated and told that you are doing a good job. I am so happy right now. I will see my family!! I am a good Au Pair so far!! I am doing weird shrieking noises on the inside right now...
