6 month mark...

So I realized the other day that I've been officially living in England for exactly half of a year! Time certainly flies when you're country hopping, meeting new people, and learning the ropes to a completely different education system. There are, and always will be (until I return home) certain things I miss about the US and particular things I most definitely do not. Lets see what I can come up with:

What I Miss:
*Target
*Panera
*Having a car
*Driving on the CORRECT side of the road/having the Drivers Seat on the left side of the car
*Starbucks that stay open until 11pm
*Patriotism (surprising huh?)
*The sun being out for more than an hour at a time (and for more than just one day a week at that!)
*695 on a really clear, sunny, and warm day with some incredible CD blaring out of my stereo, windows down, and no traffic (the last part is very rare, though I've experienced it twice!)
*Not needing to explain what a 'Jewish person is' more times than I'd like to count...believe it or not the British put some Americans to shame in the ignorance department.
*Kashi Cereal
*A good Ultimate scene *sigh*
*Any sort of outdoor/indoor sports club
