when i'm home

While this list might not be particularly interesting to you, I'm doing it out of pure excitement and, okay, maybe to give myself something to dream about on this bleak, snowy winter day.

Here are the things I'm looking forward to when I come home (other than seeing friends and family):

  1. Eating sushi, Thai, Vietnamese, milkshakes, Mexican food....
  2. My first trip to a grocery store (at last, all my yearned-for delights! oreos! frosting! donuts! yessssssssssssssssss!)
  3. Opening up all my boxes that I packed two years ago and rediscovering my own stuff (ah, my shoe collection! my books!)
  4. Buying my first suits for my new professional social work life :)
  5. Treating myself to some new, fun makeup
  6. Getting rid of all my clothes that are too big for me now (hopefully completing item number 1 won't interfere) and buying new ones
  7. Throwing away all of my threadbare stuff I've worn to death in Moldova
  8. Getting books at the library
  9. Renting some of the movies I've missed
  10. Getting my eyebrows done (never have, and think it sounds cool)
  11. Riding a bike again
  12. DRIVING! (hopefully I didn't forget how)
  13. Going to the gym
  14. Buying a new laptop!
  15. Getting new music
  16. Listening to the radio in English
  17. Watching Grey's Anatomy!
  18. Moving to a new city
  19. Going out for beers at dive bars
  20. Printing my own photos at the darkroom
  21. Being able to find any and all art/craft supplies I want

Yay Bridgett, I can't believe you've been gone for a year and half, it's insane! Sounds like your interview went awesomely, good luck; although I'll be sad when you return only to leave us again. *sniff*

Sounds like a good list. We'll have to do some fun things from the list together when I eventually make it back home....and certainly not in Russian.
