This will probably be the most difficult week so far! I am very excited to go home but I do not want to leave Australia.
Things I'm looking forward to at home:
There's a lot but the main things I can think of right now...
- My Family!
- Friends!
- Senior year at U of I!
- My birthday 8 days after I get home! The Big 21!
- Being back in Chambana and campustown!
- The organizations I'm involved in including 1867 Society, Alpha Zeta, ACT, Pi Phi and AAF... great organizations to be involved in!
- Living in my apartment with my roommate Lauren
- Every sunday attempting to cook for my friends Cory, Carl and Alfred so I know how to cook my favorite dishes when I'm back in Australia :D... aka Mac and Cheese haha... these are brave men... just ask Terry.
- Also my dad's famous sweet corn!
- SUN!!!! I'm so pale! I've literally gone from winter/rainy weather in the States to winter/rainy weather in Australia....
- Excited to share all the new things I've learned and continue developing my skills!
- American food!!!
Again there's a lot but the important thing are...
- *<3 Terry <3*
- (even though I'll see him soon after I return... only 4 months apart... that's not long at all)
- Terry's family and friends
- Everyone at The Land and everyone I've met during my internship!
- Driving on the left side of the road
- Driving over the Syndey Harbour Bridge
- Tax included so I know exactly how much I need to pay (Ex. McDonalds ice cream in Aus is $0.50 .... in the US it says $1 on the menu but it's really $1.12)
- News... the news here is so much more informative than back home... I know more about what's going on around the world and in the US than I ever have watching or reading new in the States.
- Not worrying about tipping people
- Winter is more like early American Fall... so it's not that bad...
- The wonderful landscape and evironment when driving or walking around
- The beach .... only went once but I don't have beaches in central Illinois.
- TimTams! =D
- Vegimite
- Beetroot (sorry Terry)
- Crazy people on public transporation that always seem to find me
