What I miss

I know I have only been gone from the USA for 17 days (okay that actually seems like a long time now that I write it down), but I am going to tell you the times I miss most from the US. First the obvious: my family, my dog, my car, and English. Food: Mac and cheese, chocolate chip cookies, goldfish, Ben and Jerrys, pretty much the unhealthy foods. The not so obvious: my pillow, the smell of my room, our (very tiny) shower, my record player, the crazy amount of crafts in the drawers of my desk. Things I do not miss: the amount of time it takes to drive to another town, pine cones that hide in the grass for you to step on, Bend's endless stream of tourists. Things I already know I will miss when I go back: Rivella, having younger siblings, trains, the schwimbot, bread, school lunches that actually taste good.
