So I realize that I haven't blogged in a while. Life got a little busy. Mondays and Wednesdays I am taking Russian classes. I really like them so far. They are challenging but it is also encouraging to see how much Russian I already know.
Recently was also our Teacher's Day celebration. We sang Adele's "Rolling in the Deep." Sadly, no one recorded it, because I forgot to give Sarah my camera. But hopefully we will sing it again soon and will record it. Everyone liked it and I personally think we were the best act. :)
Well, my inspiration for writing this blog is a conversation that I just had. One of my students speaks almost fluent English. Her nanny is American and I have been talking to her this week. Today we talked for a little while. She was telling me about the family that she works for. Get this: She has an apartment in the city which is paid for. Soon, she will move into their $50 million home with them and have her own place there. She goes everywhere with them. Soon they will fly to Maldives for three weeks. This summer she spent 3 months in Italy. She, then, told me that if I found a job like her, I could be making $75,000-$100,000 per year!! Can you believe that?? Can you believe that people have that kind of money to pay someone to play with their child??
That's insane. And yet....I'm interested. :) I mostly likely will never do something like that. I think the risk is too great. Yes, you could be making a lot of money which would be nice to pay off all my loans and save a lot for the future. But what if you end up working with a crazy family? Like they are horribly mean. It makes me think of "The Nanny Diaries." Great movie. I sometimes feel like her.
Anyways, just thought that I would share. :)
