I've officially survived almost a whole week of school. I absolutely love the school - the faculty, the kids, the atmosphere. It's just like the world that I left two years ago - but it's perfect. Even the imperfections are perfect.
There are things that I miss, of course.
Aghem.
Things that I miss but can kind of deal without:
1. No dryer - air drying my clothes is awful (hate it)
2. No Vh1 - I understand that it's on Sky - but I don't have Sky. I just miss morning music videos.
3. Dad's cooking - why is cooking for myself suddenly not good enough? And why does my food taste like crap?
4. My Toyota. I miss my baby. My poor feet are starting to feel life without a car....training for the 10 K...psh.
Things that I really miss and can only have back home:
1. My family and friends. Mom, Dad, Ron and Bro -- oh geeze. And Jen, Jeff and Nick. Double geeze.
2. Those Friday Night Lights. No High School football on Friday nights is actually really difficult. That's one of the things I love about being a teacher - the school spirit! Supporting my students! And I *love* football!
3. Arabica. I miss my coffee shop. I loved going, especially around Christmas, and just staying there all night working on stuff for school and watching the snow fall past the lights hanging outside.
Out of fairness, I must compose a list of things I can only get here:
1. Chocolate. Especially Swiss Rolls. Oh wow -that's heaven in a chocolaty formation.
2. Dancing in the Pub! FINALLY! And everyone does it! And I feel like I am still the best one out there!
3. Colleagues -- LOVELY. They don't steal ideas or make me feel inadequate either.
4. Fanta. I love it! I don't even like soda, but I heart Fanta.
5. Commercials. The Walker Crisps one is my personal fav.
6. Public transport. I don't have to drive anywhere! The bar? Walk. The city? Take a train? It's perfect!
I'm sure given more thought I could come up with some better items....but this works.
