California Dreamin'



On the twentieth, I will be taking off out of Charles de Gaulle airport bound for San Francisco. I cannot wait! Here are some things that I am looking forward to in no particular order:
  1. Half and half, without which I haven't had a decent cup of tea in two months.
  2. My pets who I miss dearly. Every time I see a dog on the streets of Paris it takes all of my willpower not to rush it, and there are a LOT of dogs here. 
  3. Being able to converse with shopkeepers and cashiers. I look forward to the days when I can answer simple questions without being looked at like I am "special."
  4. Coffee shops and the ability to get a latte to go. 
  5. Being able to eavesdrop without racking my brain for the necessary vocabulary. 
  6. Being able to hang out with my friends and family, let alone call them without taking international time zones into consideration.
  7. Not living out of a suitcase, albeit a very large suitcase. 
  8. Peanut butter, which is obscenely expensive here.
  9. My car, because in terms of convenience a car cannot be beat, especially for transporting heavy objects.
  10. My usb cable for my camera, which I accidentally left behind.
