When my roommate Rebecca feels like there is an awkward silence (even if it's not awkward).
Whenever I leave for a weekend trip
When someone says they think the washer or dryer is working, so you put your clothes in and then they get locked inside.
Whenever someone tries to take a picture of me while on an excursion or at a party.
My response when someone asks me why I chose to study abroad here.
Trying to finish the food you just paid way too much for before it expires.
How I feel in my 5-7pm lectures, no offense to the professors--it's late and I'm usually hungry.
When I wake up sick right before two clarinet lessons and an ensemble rehearsal.
When my parents ask why I bought the new clothes in my Facebook photos.
When people scream outside your window at 3AM because they just got back from a night out.
My roommate, Marilyne's reaction when I ask her how to use the can opener...AGAIN.
Every single time I spend money on groceries.
When TESCO changes their policy that non-Europeans have to show their passport to buy alcohol and all you have is your driver's license.
When I think about all the work that needs to be done on my thesis.
When trying to figure out what to do after studying abroad AND graduation.
When I think of all the essays I have to write.
When I Skype one of my friends from home and they ask how my life is.
When a professor says a paper is due in January, but international students have to turn it in in December.
When you get top honors on a geology lab that was crazy hard.
When the parents bring up the countdown to my return to the states.
love always,
