So, I've been thinking about things that I think I'll miss when I move to Jakarta, Indonesia for the next two years, and here is a list of what I've come up with so far. If anything, I think it will be interesting to look back at this list over time and compare it to what I actually miss.
- my friends,
- my family, and the Polinske family
- getting together with friends for lunch/dinner
- going to Madison for the weekend
- calling to chat and catch up with friends whenever I think of it
- the change of seasons (I love Spring and Fall)
- the lilacs at my dad’s farm
- my new bed (one of my first, "real, adult" purchases)
- the Badgers and Packers
- snow days -- no school and so I can wear my new scarf, favorite hat and mittens
- singing at church (and seeing everyone there)
- volleyball on Sunday nights (getting dirty in the sand)
- the public library (with the endless supply of books...in English)
- my car and being able to drivewhenever/wherever I want and get there in a timely manner
- going home to hang out with my dad (he’s so amazing that he deserves a place on the list in addition to the family spot)
- sending “snail mail” (I realize it will be much easier to update my blog or facebook, but I think mailing letters is so much more fun and makes me feel nostalgic...or something
