I'm going to seem really petty right now, but I sometimes get a bit jealous when I hear that other girls are on view and I'm not. I understand that its probably because they are all over 20 and I'm not quite there but surely someone is looking for an Au Pair without narrowing the search to Au Pairs aged 20 and over.
Although my 20th birthday is only 2 1/2 months away it seems like its going to take an eternity to arrive. This is probably one of the only times where I wish I was just that little bit older.
I truly believe that the perfect family for me is out there but where? and how long will it take for them to find me?
I am still 100% positive about being an Au Pair is the US of A but my family is starting to have doubts and that negativity can become so overwhelming sometimes that you just want to give up. Well I don't want to give up but I'm not sure how much long I can handle all of the negativity and cynicism.
Normally I wouldn't write anything like this but I guess I just needed to blow off some steam and get it all out before it becomes too much and takes over.
Much love,

UPDATE: Application Progress
It's been a while since I made a new blog entry and that's because I was waiting until something new actually happened but I'm writing this entry now because I was asked via my website that I update my blog so that they could see what is happening with the progress of my application.
So here goes...
I haven't been on view with any families for a few weeks now but I'm still positive because I know that as soon as I give in to the negative thoughts I'll want to cancel my application and I don't want to do that. One of the things that keeps me out of the negatives is knowing that it's not just my application profile that isn't on view and a big reason for that is because its the Summer holidays in the USA.
I have spoken to my International Co-operator Michal about it and she has told me that things should pick up soon. With Wednesday being American Independence Day many people will be off work and won't want to be looking at Au Pair profiles, they'd rather be having fun.
I have a few things I need to change in my application and then there is nothing I can really do except wait.
I am always hoping a family will show up soon but everything happens the way it does for a reason and I reckon that the perfect family will come along.
