- Being in a familiar environment where I can basically do what I want, including having people over.
- Access to drinks other than just water. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE water, but sometimes, you just gotta mix it up a little.
- Real vegetables. See previous posts.
- Mis animales (my animals). I miss cuddling with my puppy and kitten. Also just having them around. They bring a certain liveliness to a house and make things more interesting overall.
- Access to my full wardrobe. Even though my mother gets annoyed at my large amount of shoes, there have been many times here in Spain where I wished I had a pair that is sitting in my closet at home. Same with other clothing items.
- Driving. You don't know what you've got till it's gone.
- English.
- US food in general, including (but not limited to), chocolate chip cookies, potato chips, pastas, grilled chicken, Mexican food, rice, mashed or baked potatoes, etc.
- Friends and family. This experience would be infinitely better with people that I have a previous relationship with.
- Not having to light the pilot light on the thermos every time I want hot water.
- CEREAL.
- Girly things that I have in abundance at home but only in limited quantities/not at all here (ejemplos (examples): nail polish, curling irons, hair products)
- Theatre. No explanation necessary. Some people just have to be on stage. Or at least around those kinds of people.
- Northwestern College. School just works differently here. Not better or worse, just different.
- Reliable wifi.
- Working. I need monies and I like to keep myself busy.
- Green space.
- My bed with my linens.
- Random other stuff that I can't think of right now.
Hasta luego,
Elena
