Take off

So, this would be my first post then. Exciting, isn't it? Actually, I should be studying right now, because we have testweek at school this week. That means that, instead of the normal lessons, we have a week full of tests. How lovely. And to make it even worse (or better, if you look on the bright side), this is the last testweek before the exams. In other words; I should be studying really hard to get good grades instead of writing about a land far away that I'm not even close to yet, so that I'll get my diploma. You see: no diploma, no Australia.
Oh wait, I would almost forgot to tell you about my plan! My great, big, hero-like plan! So, here's the thing: I'm going to Australia. For about nine months. Nine months?! Yes, nine months. No, I'm not pregnant. The first six months I'm going to work as an au pair. That would mean that I get to take care of little (or maybe not so little, I don't know yet) children; bring them to school, make sure they have enough to eat, keep them busy during the whole day. Half a year ago I was not really into children, let alone be an au pair. But maybe children in Australia are much more fun. Australia is much more fun anyway. And children can't be that bad once you get used to them, right?
