During a 50 minute snooze fest lecture about writing an essay, I realized I needed to blog. With nothing exciting to say, I have come up with a list of some things that I will miss about Australia.
*Australian techno music. It is everywhere, and I surprisingly love it. They usually take American music and add some crazy techno to it, but then sometimes it is completely unique and Aussie too.
*Barefooted Aussies galore. They roam everywhere barefoot. Lectures, tutorials, the grocery store.
*The hole in the Ozone layer. Believe it or not folks, I enjoy the hole being above Australia. It is making my hair lighter and my skin darker. Granted, I may get skin cancer but I think I was already getting that before I came here.
*Accents. Need I say more?
*Thai food on every corner. We need more in Illinois. Granted, Chicago has a lot but Belleville and Bloomington-Normal are very limited on their selection of Thai restaurants.
*Nice pants! My god, all of the men here wear GREAT pants. It's like a nice pants heaven for me.
*Not having to drive. I enjoy long drives, such as to and from school, but for the most part, I hate driving. I'm enjoying walking and public transportation.
*The "wrong" side of the road. I am getting so used to the wrong side of the road that I don't even know which side is right anymore! Today I literally was walking down the sidewalk using hand motions to try to figure out which way Americans drive on the road.
Obviously this list will get longer. I do still have 3 more months here, but this is all I could come up with during my lecture. I'm such a good student, eh?
Next update: My adventures in New Zealand. We leave Friday!
