Only 2 months left before I’m back in beautiful ol’ USA. I really can’t wait. I don’t think I’ve spent a year away from my family and good friends before and although I’m not crying myself to bed at night I am definitely reminding myself daily that big hugs from them are soon to come.
Things I’m looking forward to doing again when I get back to the States:
- Drinking a Starbucks coffee
- Taking the Subway in NYC
- Eating an Astoria bagel with some thick ass cream cheese
- Drinking a micro-brew.
- Driving a car
- Eating a Jumbo Slice and a 5 guys burger
- Using my credit card for everything instead of cash
- Signing my old karaoke songs.
- Spending the holidays in my favorite places (thxgiving at home, NYE in NYC)
-Talking in English (obviously)
- Working out in a gym with all the fixins.
- Jack Daniels
- Unlimited supply of almond butter and berries.
Things I will miss:
- cheap, delicious, fresh meats, fruits and vegetables.
- Partying until 7am
- Speaking Spanish
- Aleta’s empanadas arabes and Sobran Los Motivos Cinnamon Apple Muffins
- mis amigos
- Asados
- The Mercadals
The only thing that really sucks about leaving in 2 months is the fact that I have finally found a great place to live that I really like and I’ll have to give it up unless I want to pay full rent for 4 months without being here. Finding a person to sublet will be more hassle than it is worth because no one will want to move to an apartment for only 4 months. I’ll cross the moving bridge when I come to it. When I return in March I have no idea what I’m going to do — whether I will stay with the Mercadals again or what. I’ve really got to figure that out. In the meantime, I’m gonna go dream about the USA and all my stateside peeps.
