Today I spoke with the father of the family in Iceland I want to be an au pair for; he seems like an awkward, friendly, strict kind of guy, with a very strong hardworking streak. I think he and I will get along excellently :) He's not pushy, but keeps mentioning that he really needs help as soon as possible, so I really wish I would hear back from one of the families in Stockholm I want to au pair with - I have to be in the US while my work visa is being processed, and I have to have a letter of employment before I can apply for the work visa, so I can't move forward until I hear from one of the Stockholm families again. Which stinks, because I'm so so so excited to go to Iceland!!
In other news, I started my yoga classes today. This may not seem relevant, until I point out that my group's instructor is a wonderful, gorgeous Swedish woman. We chatted after the class and when I mentioned I was moving to Stockholm this summer, she got so excited! We tried to speak a little Swedish to each other but my accent is too terrible to understand, apparently - not that I'm surprised, since I've learned 95% of my Swedish from books. Time to get practicing!
Now if only I could find that Salmiakki that my favourite Finn sent me for Christmas...
