Well filming has come & quickly gone.
They say it’s going to air in October.
I was nervous the first day but they got their scheduling to work out around Christy’s schedule so I was rarely around the camera man. Primarily just the hidden cameras.
I never got to meet Jo Frost, since they worked out filming. She watched some of my footage from the hidden cameras & told Christy she saw the difference in the children’s behavior when they were w/ me compared to Christy. Also she commented that she liked my routine. Jo wanted to sit down & talk with me until she found out I was only w/ the family for another 5 weeks after filming (btw that means 5 more weeks until I start a new chapter). What she wanted to talk about I have no clue. Since communication was very drained & lacking.
The kids handled it quite well, the triplets just did their thing, being 2 yrs old they really didn’t care. Except for the schedule change of going to Grandpa & Grandma’s w/ me a couple times throughout the process. The 4 yr old was more clingy to me which I secretly enjoyed as he usually wants no TLC from me & I am happy to say he‘s just as accepting now to my TLC w/ the cameras gone.
I can’t talk much about the actual process because of the confidentiality agreement & contract but I will say I think this is one of the most mild families they’ve had on the show. Although it was neat to see the family on the monitors. I am not there much with the parents so I think I will be in for some good entertainment w/ the rest of the viewers.
As far as everything else goes. I have 4 humanities classes left & then I can close that section of my California chapter. These days are spent packing, working, doing class assignments which are minimal compared to other classes, running, hanging out w/ my roommates & occasionally hanging out w/ great friends I have met while here in California.
Also I don’t think I’ve posted since she visited but I was lucky to get to see Darya (a good friend from Atlanta). She came & stayed 5 days or so w/ me out here in California.
I will start my journey back to the east coast around June 18th. I will stop in Texas to see family & friends where I will complete a bucket list task of mine. The task is to sing karaoke. I may need a little liquid courage but I am going to attempt without. Also I may stop in Panama City Beach, FL where a childhood friend resides. I have not seen the west coast of FL yet so I am really hoping I get to.
My microbiology class starts June 29. This is my last prerequisite for nursing. I will apply in September & hope to get accepted first time around. I still think my chances are greater in FL than here in California. So everyone please cross your fingers for me & wish me luck. If all goes as I hope I will graduate at latest in December of 2011.
Oh yeah I go skydiving this Sunday May 24th (super excited)!!!
Well I hope everyone is doing well & you can be looking for my next update in about a year or so. Just joking but I am so happy ya’ll are patient w/ me. Also thank you to those who keep in contact because I am horrible about it.
Much love & miss ya’ll
