So last night was the Super Bowl. My host mom didn't know what it was so the only way I could think to explain it was that it was kind of like the World Cup...but for American Football, and once a year. To compare the Super Bowl to the World Cup is blasphemy to all the soccer lovers, I know. I'm sorry.
A bunch of the teachers gathered to watch it-- I was glad we got to see it. Although the commercials were sorely missed. And it was a sad ending for me. But there's always next year.
I've also been pretty sick since being back from the retreat. A lot of the teachers are sick at the moment. As I was walking home today feeling pretty miserable I thought to myself how I probably would take a sick day if I was in the States in a regular school. But not here. Too much work.
Also today I was thinking about somethings I miss from home. I've talked a lot about all that I've gained from this experience and the things that I love. But today I thought I'd dedicate a little time to some things I miss. And of course I miss family and friends, but this list is of those obscure things that you might not normally think of. In no particular order...
I miss...
1) My puppies. Okay, this probably is number one. I miss those little stinkers so much.
2) Food Network. I basically never watch television here, and I don't particularly miss it either. Except for the Food Network. That I miss.
3) Going to Dave Barnes shows.
4) Sushi. Strangely. I didn't really eat sushi on a regular basis in the States, but for some reason I CRAVE it here, like a crazy person.
5) Being able to walk alone at night and feel safe.
6) A church community.
