Lots o' Lists

So while I’m lovin’ it a whole bunch here, there may be a few things about the good ol’ US of A that I miss:

1. My closet. Specifically: my Dunks, flannel, and crew-neck sweatshirts.

2. BJ Bear. Yes Mom and Dad, I’m serious. At least I don’t suck my thumb anymore.

3. Safe and reliable public transportation

4. All sorts of Herbal Essence hair products

6. Barry’s Bagels

7. Iced coffee

8. Organic, fat-free milk

I know what you’re all thinking: “How is Bridget even surviving? She has to drink regular coffee in 80 degrees AND she has to put 2% on her Cheerios?!” It’s a daily struggle.

Good thing there are a few things I’m happy to live without:

1. The constant need to check my Gmail, Facebook, and phone

2. Winter

3. Expensive food, specifically sandwiches that cost more than $3. Yes, I do now consider a $5 sandwich expensive (that’s R35!)

4. Paying to use the washer and dryer

5. Being pale

6. Living in the AU Libs

OK, so now I’m a roll. Let’s talk about things from South Africa I’m getting really into (and will most likely miss when I return to Amurrrika)

1. Chicken Mayo

2. Boerwor Rolls. Try saying that one three times fast. I mean, I can’t even say it once.

3. Savannah Dry

4. Sitting on steps

5. School spirit

6. Going to a beautifully beautiful school.

7. Living at the ocean AND mountains
