Ok, I promise this is not a depressing vent or anything, because things are going really well right now, I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be, etc. But its been kind of a yucky day, and for whoever cares, these are the things I miss... (in no particular order).
-People. I'm not going to list them because it would be a very lengthy list, but I miss very much my family and friends.
-Wofford. In general, the only thing I don't miss is the work load. (I even miss Wofford classes!)
-Dorm life. I'm not a fan of having to travel more than 10 mins to find a friend to hang out with!
-Classes in which people keep their mouths shut. People in my U classes (American and European students) talk constantly during class, so much so that I often cannot hear the prof. I miss the common courtesy of Wofford students!
-My personal space. It just doesn't exist here. In public places, you will get pushed around.
-PRIVATE displays of affection. Young people in Chile see no problem with doing everything except having sex in the metro, the bus, public parks, the sidewalk, etc. I would like to go somewhere in public without feeling like I should avert my eyes.
-Real FOOD. This includes but is not limited to: Mexican food (if you thought that's what I have here you are sadly mistaken), macaroni and cheese, real breakfast (eggs, bacon, pancakes...), cheesecake, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, cereal and milk, strawberries, real salad (with real salad dressing), real coffee (not nescafe)
-Being able to choose my own meals and mealtimes.
-My big shower.
-Indoor heating. (though its getting warmer!)
-Access to my entire closet.
-Football season.
I think that's good for now! :)
