Why I miss the USA and then some.

Approximately 10 times a day, I miss America. Here are the top reasons:

#10: Anytime I almost step in dog poop.

#9: Anytime I accidentally make eye contact with a male, and they take that as a sign to shout nonsense at me in any language they can muster.

#8: Anytime I want to watch a movie. I miss $5 movie bins at Walmart and reliable webnetz.

#7: Actually--anytime I want to buy anything, because they don't have Walmarts around these parts, and because everything here is effing expensive.

#6: Anytime I need to withdraw money from my account. There are no Bank of Americas, so I'm constantly bombarded by extra fees. EFF YOU SPAIN. MONEY SUCKER.

#5: Anytime I feel like working out. Sorry, but I just don't feel like going for a jog on the treadmill when obnoxious kids are whacking ping pong balls around the room--and hitting me in the process. Running outside? Not an option. [refer to #9]

#4: Anytime the sun shoots its rays of god-awful light into my eyes at 8 in the morning.

#3: Anytime roommate receives a letter... [insert jealous snarky remark] [aka: pity me, pity me, pity me]

#2: EVERYTIME I SEE A PUPPY. Or a full grown dog. It doesn't matter. I need an animal in my life for to love.

#1: Anytime somebody mentions the word, "Zaxby's."


I just swooned. I love Zax that much. If someone can figure out how I can buy that here, or even get a cheap, just-as-good knockoff, I'd be much obliged.

So, yeah. Switzerland tomorrow. No computer until Sunday evening. If I get there successfully (we have to catch a train, too), I just need to manage skiing in the intense Swiss Alps without breaking a bone. No big deal. I got this. *shoulder dusting*

Brace yourself, because if I make it back unharmed I'm going to brag for the rest of my life. I might lose a few friends over it, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
