So I like England. It's a pretty good place to be, all things considered, and even though I am lonely and bored and whiny, it's a great country and I'm pretty glad I'm here.
I love looking at the houses, I love all of the old architecture (for serious. Did I write about town hall? I think I stopped breathing), I love that the small town feel actually exists, even when you're technically still in the city, and I love the accents. Most of the time. When I'm not trying to understand what someone on the phone is saying.

But there are things I miss, that's for sure.
I miss my friends, and my family, and to go along with that, hugs. I miss my dog (a lot), and sales people who actually smile when they help you (no matter how fake it is!).
And seasoning salt - oh man do I miss seasoning salt. British food really is everybit as bland as they say it is.
And Peanut Butter. Jam is ok by itself, but you can't really have a great sandwich without Peanut Butter.

But, I have a lot of good things going for me right now too, so that's something that makes me happy! I have a cute little house to stay in, with a brand new kitchen (sweet), and it's about a 10 minute walk to get anywhere, so I get lots of exercise as well! And, the manager of one of the Starbucks called me back this morning, so I have a tentative job, starting tomorrow, which is AWESOME, because then I will be getting paid in pounds and won't have to worry about the exchange rate - a 2.30 sanwich will be 2.30, not $5!!
So that's good.
And I have the house to myself all day, so I don't have to worry about looking lazy if I decide to go back to be at 11. Like I may do right now...
love you all!

I miss my dog like crazy too. Oh my goodness you've given me a stroke of genius. I must blog about it. Remember that I love you.

I tried to blog. It just turned into blah. I'm having issues with words. But thank you for sparking the idea. <3
