nanny diary:entry 1

Ok so in two months I will be leaving utah on my way to maryland on my way to Stuttgart Deutschland. As many of you know Ive been trying to move to Germany since I was old enough to think about it and many probably don't know Ive been thinking about being an aupair for about a year and about a month or so ago I just decided to do it. I found a host family using greataupairs.com which is a great site if you want to do this sort of thing, the school used to have families that they worked with but they are now all grown up! So my family aren't members but there is a ward in the city they live in and I should have most Sundays to do as I please. The Family has 2 kids Erk about 2 1/2 and Lara about a week! They live in downtown Stuttgart. Ill live with the family and take care of the kids and do some light housework. They still have a cleaning lady so none of the cleaning will be super intensive. The mom is Turkish and the dad is German so they speak a lot of languages in their house. They want me to speak english with Erk but they will speak German with me so I can improve my language skills. Ill also take a language course while I am there in the evenings. ok so the rest of the "diaries" will be on hold until january but this is whats new with me. If you have any questions comments or concerns leave them here

Lately

So I've been looking at my friends pictures and their blog posts and everything and all I have to say is I MISS VIENNA

Classes are going ok Im crazy busy all the time but still manage to find time to watch how I met your mother glee and office every week as well as project runway with my friends. I work friday saturday and monday nights this does a number on my sleep schedule. Life here isn't really too exciting so nothing much to say, right now just trying to survive and get ready to leave.

Im noticing its hard to spell some words in english now...the letters just don't come to my head

also boys are weird....

love
Annie K.

Well cats out of the bag

So some of you may have noticed something odd is going on-all the joy and what not

and no I am not engaged

I'm moving-to Germany-for a year

that is all

Here's to:

figuring things out.

I've never been one to really plan for the future. I didn't decide to come to BYU until the summer before my senior year. I've never been certain what I want to do with my life-I've always known that I like to write but that was about it. Everytime I meet someone new or see one of my parents friends they all ask two questions.

First: what's your major? to which I have been able to promptly and confiendently answer European Studies for a while now.

and then...What are you going to do with that? to which I've never had an answer and generally answer oh I have no idea-it's just a fun major.

If you know me you know I'm stuborn if I'm anything and once I've made my mind I generally stick to it..no matter how crazy it is.

so heres to having a plan, confidence and having an answer.

The one with Roommate bonding

Ok so let me start off by telling you how much I love my roommates! Seriously they should find this and see how awesome they are!!!
Ok so my day was pretty typical- procrastinated getting up, rolled out of bed went to class, wished I was done at the break, went to my last class, came home goofed off for a couple hours instead of doing homework.....and then

I go upstairs and my roommates are going to Sammy's to get pie shakes-this is what it sounds like a piece of pie put into a shake...yeah it was good well I tried tiffany's since I got a BLT which was also good.
ok then on the way out a guy in a RV stops us and asks us to call 911 for him were like um what? ok. So we do he has us call the police because his fiance got mad and just got out of the car and started walking away...apparently she had some outsanding bench warrant? and so yeah my roommate is talking to the police and describing what she is wearing when she walks up!!! so yeah she got in the car and they started yelling at each other and took off. We gave the cops their plates and got out of there.
Ok next meeting with the bishop...not too bad Ill have a calling soon I guess but he needed to talk to my last bishop to give me a temple recomend....good luck with that-its ok we worked it out hell talk to my director.
Then got home and went country dancing with some of my roommates...BEST THING EVER!!!!!!
Seriously I'd never done this before but was having so much fun this one guy I danced with was fliping me around and it was just amazing.
We want to go every week because it was like the coolest thing ever.

Ok I have like 4 hours of reading and its midnight-oh the college life you can pick two things of good grades sleep and a social life-guess which two I generally pick :)

Why being sick sucks

1.I like food....when sick it is difficult to eat
2.if you have a stuffy nose-you can't breathe well
3.I don't maintain a normal temperature anyways
4.I feel gross.....could probably use a shower, but
5. am too weak from being sick to move that much
6. I end up saying/doing crazy things or
7.Im just terrible at responding in a coherent manner
there is a lot more that sucks about being sick but I won't bore you with the details. Lets see 2-9 didnt sleep since I was sick then my awesome roommate tiffany stayed with me so I didnt pass out and choke and die. Then fell asleep....found out something exciting-so I walked to Megan's to hang out. My low tempurature went to high....but in the end good day...or not ask me when Im well and I can decide if my actions were crazy or not.

The one where I can't sleep

Seriously I was asleep.

I went to bed at 10 like a good little girl.

and I fell asleep.

about 11:30 I get a call about a very last minute application I sent in

yeah they wanted me to go up then.

I got back by about midnight-not bad right?

but now I cannot sleep.

Can I just say there is a disturbing amount of people out in Provo at midnight I mean its Provo what is there to do????

First week of classes is going pretty good Ive already begun to procrastinate homework, turned in a paper and have my first research assignment well assigned-wahoo. Did you know Im techniquly a junior now.

You'd think a junior in college would be smart enough to not download a virus to their computer

so its a good thing Im really a sophomore-or I just dont posess the good sence I was born with

This post is slightly odd-Ill blame it on the late hour
