I just finished my final exam, which means the PROGRAM IS OVER AND I'M DONE. It feels good but also a little sad, like it went so quickly. But now it's technically vacation, first with my Italian family and my Italian boyfriend, then with my madre and zia. And as thrilled as I am to be traveling through Italy I am also definitely ready to go home. Today on the walk to class I caught myself making a mental list of all the things I'm excited to come home for:
-Going to Red Robin and getting the fattiest chicken burger. However, I'm probably more excited about the endless fry basket, and massive quantities of ranch. And ketchup that doesn't taste like vinegar!
-Phad thai.
-Putting on nice, tight clothes straight from the dryer.
-Laying around in my sweats all day without people looking at me funny.
-TV in English.
-Constantly having Pandora going. And wireless access everywhere I go, including at home.
-Not having a prepaid phone that you constantly have to add credit to.
-Snacking midday, especially excited for chips and popcorn.
-Not having pasta at every meal.
-Driving. And having a nice smooth ride in an automatic car.
-Ordering water at restaurants and not paying for it.
-Being physically able to sleep until noon.
-Singing along with the radio.
-Eating desert after dinner and not for breakfast.
I'll probably add more this weekend as I prepare to set off. I love Italy, but I miss home. Can't wait to see you all!

Oh Nat, I had a feeling you would be ready to come home when the progam ended. We'll make sure to have a nice easy, enjoyable couple weeks.

Hi Nate
Looking forward to our vacation.
What I am packing doesn't fit the criteria for older women.
