The Top Ten Great Things About Being Back Home
In no particular order....
10. On a day like today, when the sun is shining and the sky is blue, I can hardly remember that one time in La Pocatiere when it was, like, -70 and they closed the school because it was so cold.
9. St. Paul Street is slightly less scary than the Snowdon Metro.
8. Max wakes me up every morning and I can still torture Luna from time to time.
7. My mommy makes me pierogies, hems my pants, and (sometimes) does my laundry.
6. I get to see Kelly almost every day and Meron almost every week (like tonight!)
5. I get to see my family more often: My sister lives in between Strega and my mom's place and I can drop by after work (where I am greeted with boisterous barking by Sally, hugs from Laura and Ian, and sometimes even supper). My brother comes in to Strega for lunch every so often.
4. I've finally been able to see friends from Laurier like Tiffany, Char (and Kaylin), Joanna, Barb and Kat. It's been too long and we have to get together again before I leave.
3. I get carded all the time. Apparently, I look younger than 19 (the age of majority in Ontario). I've taken to carrying my passport with me everywhere, as I've been carded for everything from buying cheap wine coolers to getting into the Casino (played Roulette and lost $20 in 1 spin - Run Lola Run, I am not).
2. Reality TV. I didn't have cable in Montreal, and now I've been able to catch up on this new Reality TV fad (perhaps you've heard of it) as I've enjoyed such shows as American Idol, The Amazing Race and Survivor. Oh, and Pilot Guides on OLN every night at 10 (they still haven't visited Korea).
1. After a month of eating pierogies, watching Reality TV, not exercising (besides walking to work), and eating & drinking with friends, I've managed to gain all that weight that I so desperately needed to put on my nearly emaciated frame.
okay, that last one was pure sarcasm.
I miss all my friends from back in Quebec, but this is like practice for when I am on the other side of the world!

So what is the big rush to get to Korea to do your own laundry, cook your own food and work for a living with a bunch of people that you have to teach English to first???
