Welcome to America-Finally!
Peter,Pia, and I are finally in America-New York City, to be honest. It's so big, with so many different voices and people, all jumbled into one huge city! The words or phrases I caught were mostly the ones these children probably learn in grammer school, and that disapointed me,a little. But-some wonderful news!-tommorow I meet with the executives of the movie company, and they're paying for Peter and I to see an American musical! Isn't it a shame I can't sing for beans? Pia is being a darling, and will have a nurse tommorow-also payed by the manager of the hotel!!!!!!!!!! My dear, I'm pratically "jumping out of my skin" (ugh-who came up with that?) with excitement!
And, if truth must be told,nervousness. I am terribly nervous. What if my accent is too strong? Or I am so nervous and act like a fool? Or a turtle? Where is the happy medium(another terrible expression! my god!)between the two? Peter hugged me tonight and told me to be myself, and Mr.O Selznick gave me the same advice-but I'm nervous around him too! Still, I want to do "Intermezzo: A Love Story" as much as I wanted to do the original "Intermezzo".
So, my dears: Wish me luck!
Another slight problem is my homesickness for Sweden. But I'll just have to get over it. The United States is my home now, which is why this is written in English. But honestly, dear, I miss Sweden with all my heart. No matter how perfect New York City looks, Sweden is where my heart is, now. And Peter and Pia feel the same way, so I'll just have to grow up and get over it. I pray I can!
But enough being depressing:time for sleep! Goodnight, dear, and see you tommorow, a busy day!
