list time!

So,
When I first left home to come on this fantastic voyage, I made a list of things that I would and would not miss. Reading it now, I find some things really funny, and some things were too true.

My list from January 18th.

Things I’m going to miss
o The Hein Train. Choo Choo!
o The coffee cart with Caroline and urrbody until it closes
o G&T nights
o Not having to carry around a real key because my id card does everything for me.
o American money (maybe, but only because it is worthless abroad?)
o Having a job=having an income
o The sun

Things I’m NOT going to miss
o Boarding the Hein Train for work.
o Going to work everyday

If I were to add things that I miss and don't miss after being here for two months (!?!?!) here is what it would look like:

Things I still miss/or miss now:

• Every food establishment in Los Angeles
• the sun
• English instructions of food packages
• English signs anywhere
• Driving
• having a meal plan and a dining hall instead of cooking everything I eat
• tomatoes (the kind that are juicy and crisp and delicious, not the kind that are pale, mealy, and hard)
• Mexican food (la Superrica, I will see you when I get back to California!)
• did I mention the sun?
• Making money
  

This I still DON'T miss:

• having a job
• being on duty
• being on a different time zone than everyone at home
• the fact that going anywhere in L.A. takes at least 3o minutes and two different freeways
• the Oxy bubble

That is all that I can think of right now, because I have to go to a Dutch cultural event, a room eleven concert. Hopefully I'll find my way there!
