This is what is happening with the rest of my year. This is good.

Now, as far as January, it looks like I'll be going to either England or Poland.
I am going to make this shit work.
It could be either: England 3 months, Italy 3 months (Milan, NOT Verona), ambiguity.
Or: Poland 3 months, Italy 3 months, ambiiguity.
Or: England 3 months, Poland 2 months, ambiguity.

Goodness.
This stuff is complicated but.. I can deal.
Both Polish families seem AMAZING.. It is going to be really hard for me to make this decision, but I am very blessed that I have a decision to make and that I am not going to be stuck in NC anymore. lol
I really like the Milan, Italy family.. they have 2 little adorable girls. And my desire to go to Italy remains, despite the negative experience I had with my previous Italian family (aka my post from Friday). Also, this whole grad school thing is causing me to kind of be in a pickle.. like.. I don't know whether or not I need to bank on going to grad school in the fall or not. I am considering applying to start 2nd semester (January) everywhere except UMiami.. That way, I would have time to go to 3 countries as an au pair, and then have some extra time to scope out places to live in Florida (because I am completely enamored with Miami all of a sudden.. Tampa is my 2nd choice) and jobs and the like. Who knows.
Life is complicated.
