Things I Miss From Home!

-My parents of course

-Grandma!!

-When I'm laying in my bed at night all I can think about it is how I wish I had my black soft microfiber fleece blanket from home.

-Turkey sandwiches! They don't eat turkey here.

-Chicken Noodle Soup! The watery condensed style and the chunky kind!

-Cans of Coca-Cola

-Cheese Nips! The cheese crackers here are NO substitute!

-My students at OV who actually know me and can relate to me! I miss the familiarity of the normal routine I had there. I miss Ms. Benton of course. I don't understand the humor here yet so the kids are not nearly as funny as my old students were.

-My own sense of humor. I'm very sarcastic and I know it wouldn't translate. Even when a student asked me a stupid question and I said "really?" He kept say, "uh yea, really?..."

-The little fur baby (Grandma)

-ALL OF MY SHOES! I brought more than I had been told to but I still feel like my feet are way too boring everyday.

-Central heating and air conditioning! It is SO flipping cold in the mornings. There is absolutely not use shaving my legs. It's really difficult to get up in the morning and out of bed because the only warm place is the pod under my covers. Showering is miserable. All of you OV students who said you hate being cold getting out of the shower, you have no idea. On the upperhand though, I get dressed SO quickly. I am never late. Sure, I've gotten used to perpetual bad hair days but always being on time is a nice change.

-The way Grandma smells! I swear she is the best smelling cat ever (when I'm not setting her butt on fire!)
