View of the Kennedy Center from Georgetown
It’s been just over two months since I left the States and in general, I don’t think about it much. But when I do think about my home of five years, there are some things I really miss…
1. My daily dose of NPR on WAMU 88.5
I am trying to get familiar with European politics right now but I can’t seem to shake my need to be on top of the goss on Capitol Hill.
2. Up-to-date movies
The stuff that’s showing in London is so last season! When I hear about the latest releases in the U.S., I get super excited, then sad cos’ I know I won’t get to watch them til much later, and that’s if they do well enough at the box office.
3. Summer weather
My American friends have been complaining about the heat over there but I really wouldn’t mind a week of hot weather where I wouldn’t have to bring a jacket everywhere (I am from the tropics after all). It feels like spring here. The air is chilly and the skies are cloudy a lot of the time. I’m sitting here typing in a hoodie with the window opened just a crack and a bit. I am thankful that the sun is finally out though.
4. My Ballet Class
I miss my sweet teacher, classmates and the amazingly relaxing hour of flit floating about each week.
5. MY Friends
Of course I miss my friends. Good thing email and Skype was invented.
And that’s all folks. I’m otherwise very much enjoying discovering this new world out here!
