New Years

Happy New Years everybody! I hope everyone is well. Just a quick note... I figure you have all heard already so here goes there was a big disagreement about how much I do for them. They feel like if Alice wakes up at night I help her and I think I am not her parent. Anyways so it was bad; there was alot more to it than that but I do not want to get into it. They informed me that I had the week off and I left the house. I did not feel welcomed so I have been living in a hotel. Its not ideal but kind of nice. Its the first time in months I feel like I can be myself. We are going to talk at the end of the week and see where we stand but when I left Francesca wanted me to leave and Andrea wanted to figure things out. I am not worried and you guys should not be either. If worse comes to worse I will travel for a while and then come home. I live in Europe right now and it will be an adventure either way.

But on a happier note I celebrated the arrival of the new year with my friend from class, Cara, her boyfriend and some their friends. We went shopping yesterday and I bought an adorable dress and then last night the girls I was with did my makeup and made me look like a girl. In total it was 5 French, 2 British and me (the token American). And everybody spoke English or tried at least. It was great fun; lots of alcohol and food. I swear in Europe they live to eat and its amazing. Across the street at a restaurant they set off fireworks and so we stood on our balcony and watched them go off above us. Oh and it snowed again yesterday, so there was a snowball fight and random wandering too. And now we are all sitting around playing Wii. Talk to you guys later. Love you all.

Do you want to stay with them anymore? Can you stay in Europe with no job?
