Update!

I feel like I blogged years ago, but in reality it was only three days! And to update you, I'm less nervous! Which is probably a good thing considering it's been 72 hours. Basically I got a new job for the end of the summer being a nanny for a family here in Maine for the summer in a small town right on the ocean. I really like the kids and the parents are great! I am with them Monday through Friday, which is really nice and I feel like leaving home to go abroad wont be as hard now that I'm away most of the week anyway. It's nice to have a break, although I do miss my other job! I really like working there, I'm just not getting the hours I need to be able to survive abroad. So hopefully I can work there on weekends. I guess I'm realizing that sometimes when you do something for yourself, which could ultimately make you happier, you have to cut people out and do things you don't want to do. You can't please everyone!

I think I've thought about this a lot lately since I've had a lot of decisions to make. When you're growing up you get happiness from approval, from doing something good and being rewarded. But as an adult you are the happiest when pleasing yourself. So when are you supposed to learn how to switch from pleasing others to doing things that make you happy? I feel like that is one of the hardest things to do. I guess knowing that I had to make these kinds of decisions and feel like I made the right ones means I've learned. I hope!

And now that I've stopped typing for a few minutes I have no train of thought, so onto other things! Cameras. Ok, which camera should I buy for abroad? I really like canons, but would look at something else if it was of good quality I guess. And now that train of thought is gone too, so I guess that's the end of the blog! See you next time, dwh.
