Things I Miss...

With exactly a month to go until I land back in the US, it's really starting to hit me. Time is flying by so fast and it is bittersweet, because I'm so excited to go home and am definitely ready to head back, but I know once I'm there I'll miss all the friends I've made here, and WA itself.

So my friend Emily had the good idea to write a post of things everyone misses about the US (click here to see the post of what everyone misses, it's really good!), so here's my personal list...besides friends, family, and Dublin of course :)

-Drip Coffee, which doesn't exist here...only instant coffee or Starbucks-style lattes.
-Unlimited, reliable internet
-Television
-Cheap food- being able to eat out without spending $25
-Rainy days- Never thought I would say that one...
-Goldfish!
-Dishwasher- I have a feeling that things aren't so clean after washing them for four months by hand...
-Washer/Dryer- where you don't have to spend $6 a load, and the dryer actually works.
-My car
-Being able to pick up the phone and call anyone when I feel like it
-Home cooked meals
-Crossing the street without having to run for your life- I've come to the conclusion that Aussies actually step on the gas when they see you in the road. Worse than Boston!

So excited to come home! I'll put a post up soon about my recent trips to Rottnest Island and Mandurah, and because its the last month I'll be doing alot, so keep an eye out.
