Now that I am more than half way done with my study abroad, I find myself more and more excited to be back on American soil (41 days and counting!). Which also means only 24 days until I get to see my dad and then only 30 to see my mom! I am counting down the days. Literally. There is a countdown timer on my phone in case I forget.
Germany has been amazing, don't get me wrong. But there are certain things you start to miss; being able to drive a car, being able to grocery shop on Sundays, being able to stream videos (most of the streaming sites don't have rights in Germany yet), and last but not least a good old American milkshake that is so thick it sort of hurts to suck through a straw. Yeah you know what I'm talking about... but when it finally reaches your mouth it is soooo good. Oh and In N' Out cannot be forgotten, aaand Mexican Food. And fruit that isn't shrink wrapped for freshness because it had to be shipped from very very far away.
Phew. I didn't take a breath while typing that entire paragraph, good thing I'm a fast typist huh?
Needless to say, the list does go on and on. But all of those things I could probably learn to deal with. What I miss the most is being able to talk to my mom on the phone every day when I need to, my bed at home (in a room that actually has curtains that block light), hugs from my dad, that no one else seems to be able to best, and most of all that sense of peace that comes from just being able to sit on a couch with your family and watch a movie...
So in homage to the homeland, I decided to spruce up the ol' blog for the final stretch. Reminded me a little bit more of home :)
P.S. Family members; feel free to write or skype at any time. If you didn't catch it; I MISS YOU
