Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
All the time. In my left ear. I've had a very quiet beeping noise in my ear for as long as I can remember, but now it is getting louder and sounds like the noise a TV set is making.
Drives me insane.
Apart from that, I have finished a project on Jane Eyre with a very nice Russian fellow student of mine today who has told me that Au Pairs who come to Germany from Russia are treated every bit as bad as my German friends who went abroad as Au Pairs.
I know that shouldn't have surprised me, but still I would have loved to be able to believe that children who play Au Pairs off against their parents, lie to them so that the Au Pair is blamed in the end, are really rude and obscene, play tricks on them and are deliberately careless because after all, they have a slave to tidy up after them exist exclusively somewhere far, far away. Apparently Au Pairs are treated like bondwomen everywhere.
I used to regret not having spent a year abroad as an Au Pair, but seeing as most Au Pair aspirants I know came back after half a year at the outside, it was probably better that way.
