It's up to you New York, New York ...

I made a decision!
As soon as I have graduated I am gonna go to the US for a year, or maybe more, to work as an au-pair.
I've been having this dream since I was a little girl, and I've checked out all there is know about it - TWICE!
The only thing I need to get clear now is a few tiny details; I need to graduate, I need to have a drivers license... and I need to figure out whether I want to go to New York or Los Angeles.
Which is my biggest problem - the other two things can be sorted out in two years. And I am already working on that.
So I did what everybody is doing these days; I asked Facebook for advice.
I made a Facebook status update simply just saying "New York or LA, people?" and I guess that most people were ruling for LA as far as I can tell.
But the problem is that there are so many great things about both cities that makes me think that this is the place I wanna go.
So I ended up with the decision that I need to make a pros vs. cons list for both cities. Which I will start doing soon. As soon as I know where to start.

And then some way, in the middle of all of this, I ended up making a deal with a friend called Laura, that we should go to New York together. Soon. Fall break actually. Week 42 this year.
If everything goes right of course. We both need to get the money, which shouldn't be that hard, because I found a really cheap deal, that seems very sweet - a bargain actually. But how in the world do I do that when I'm studying?! *wishing for a job to come along*
And the next problem is : her parents! Will they ever let her go?
She's 16 years old, and she's in high school. She's a good kid though ...
No absence from school, goes to work loyally, helps her parents around the house ... she's a really good kid. A sweet girl. I wish I was hanging more out with her. But hey, this is the time.
And her parents did let her go to the Faroe Islands on her own last year - when she was only 15, so ... and this time she'll be with me - the 21 year old, responsible student, who lives at with her dad to help him because of his illnesses.
I just hope everything works out. I really, really wanna go to New York - and with Laura it would be even greater, cause this would be an experience of a life time for both of us.

Wish me luck, people
