Family / Things I Miss
So my sister officially left Europe yesterday. My parents left Spain on Friday but they headed to London for a week (lucky!). It was really nice having them here. The only problem was that I felt like they didn’t have nearly enough time to experience Barcelona in the short week that they were here. Heck, I feel like I am just getting used to this place and I’ve been here over 2 months! Speaking of which, I have been here for quite a while, which means that I will be going home shortly (2 weeks to be exact). And I have been doing a lot of contemplating lately about things I will and will not miss about Spain when I go home.
Things I miss about the States
- Ice in drinks
- Free refills
- Chick-fil-A
- My truck
- Eavesdropping in public places
- Mexican food
- Barbecue
- Buckhead Church
- Sweetwater Beer
- Going to work (seriously!)
- Not having to read subtitles at the movies
- Being in the same time zone as my friends (or only one away)
- The Bravos
- Getting some breathing room from GTechies. (Don’t get me wrong, I am among the worst of the Techies. But as much as I love you guys, it is great to have some time around liberal art majors for a change every once in a while)
- Mass media in my native language
- Having my own room
This list might grow as I think over the next few days but that’s it for now. But don’t worry, there is a list just as long of things that I will miss about Spain when I go back. That list will have to wait for now because I have a few projects to work on before tomorrow’s class. Ugh, these projects are going to be the death of me. Honestly people, we are in Europe studying abroad, I thought the class expectations would be lower than this!
