Back in the States!!!!!!

After a long tedious day on Friday and all day in planes/airports, I made it back to the States! I'm in New York right now, but I'll be heading back to Springfield tonight. YAHOO! It's been wonderful...

My list of things I never thought would be so freaking awesome when I returned:

1.) Being warm even though it's cold out :) (Partially my fault for only bringing a sweatshirt to Amman....)

2.) Being able to flush toilet paper.

3.) No street harassment! Better yet, haven't had to use a taxi yet! WOO HOO!

4.) AMERICAN FOOD! I've had Pad Thai and fantastic wings... Now, I need my deep dish pizza and a horseshoe, and I'm set.

5.) Christmas decorations!

6.) Speaking in English and people understanding me

7.) Western airports. Heathrow in London was gorgeous!

8.) No class! I know this is a generic, but with 23 hours of class a week, and with my oral defense, 3 papers, four written exams, and spoken exams done, it feels especially good.

9.) Snow. Ok, I know I'm going to complain about this in about two days, but the snow was just so perfect at pretty last night here. It was great :D

10.) Being able to call people FOR FREE! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!! INCREDIBLE! and texting too!
