As of yesterday I have exactly one month left in London, and cannot believe it in the slightest. As much as I have loved my time over here, I have missed a lot of things back in the good 'ol U S of A. Such as:
-Looking right when stepping into the street
-The variety of fast food - it would pain me to tell you how many times I have had McDonald's while being here
-My own room - I share a room with two other people. It's been an experience. I'll just say that.
-What feels like unlimited hot water. Living with eight people cuts the amount of hot water we can use by a lot.
-Normal sized pools - when I want to work out with swimming I swim in a 25 yard (or meter) pool, and the gym I joined has a pool that is only 15 meters. It is really awkward to swim in.
-Working - Yes, I am working over here, but I am not getting paid, and in one of the most expensive cities in the world, I am missing a regular pay check like crazy.
-Warm weather - Today it was about 57 degrees and I took my sweatshirt off, what is happening to my Californian blood?
-Quality television - London's play reruns of Friends like it is going out of style, I think I have seen the entire series while being here already. Seriously, I think they play it for about 3 hours a day.
-Normal classes - the classes I take here are set up extremely different, I can't take notes on my computer which I would much rather do.
-My car - as much as I love not having to pay for gas, I do miss being able to just grab my keys and go somewhere. Just today a girl was standing in front of me and I missed a train, and after that train left they stopped the line that I had to take, so I had to go figure out what bus I could take home.
-Everybody - last but not least, I just miss everyone at home. I have made plenty of friends here, but I don't think anyone could ever replace the people I have back home.
