Things I miss/don't miss about home

Things that I miss about home:

American food: There are no corndogs, mac n cheese, wheat thins, good steak, or normal meats (behind the deli counter) sold here...
Having nice things: We have no carpet, spring mattress, couch, TV, ice, or oven. Going home is going to be amazing!
Dryers: I have to plan when I want to do laundry with the weather. Plus our washer takes an hour and a half...
Final schedules: I still don't know my finals schedule, and it spans over 4 weeks... Really hard to plan trips.
Cell phone: Here we have prepaid phones so everyone talks through facebook. No one ever really uses their phone, so when you do call them/me, we normally don't pick up...
No exchange rate: Not needing to worry if pulling out 150 euros today is more or less expensive than tomorrow
Getting to carry on 2 bags: Here you don't get a personal item when you fly, so you have to cram everything in 1 carry on for the weekend/the 2 weeks I'm gone come April 15th... We'll see how that goes.
My family and friends: I miss you guys! Thank goodness for gchat/skype, I don't know how people did this before...


Things that I don't miss about home:

Cell phone: Its really nice to not need to worry about picking up your phone all the time when you're out.
Being in Champaign: I love being in Europe! There is so much to see here!
Having actual work to do: Here, none of my classes really have work. I have to do maybe 5 hours of work a week, and that's pushing it.
Buying in bulk: I go shopping once a week and get fresh bread, inexpensive seafood, and amazing milk. Great stuff, and I don't have to store so much
Waking up at a reasonable hour: I get up here most days without an alarm clock. I have one class at 10:30 on Tuesdays, and other than that my first class is at 1:15 pm.
Always speaking in English: I love getting to speak in Spanish and practice other languages. Its so cool!
Being in the suburbs: Here in a metropolitan city, there are always things to do and places to see!
Driving everywhere: I love the public transit! I can fly, take a bus, or use the metro all the time. I never need a car! So convenient. And I don't have to worry about how I'll get home after a night out.
American desserts: The pastries in Europe are to die for! So fluffy and such a variety. Not to mention there is a pastelería every few blocks. I swear I salivate every time I pass one.
Policed internet: Here, downloading movies is not a problem. I have watched so many movies, its great!
