America

It has come that point in the trip where I crave everything American. Especially fried food and Chinese and anything really that is not rice. I never was a rice person before I came here, and well I'm still not a rice person, no matter how much I shovel down. Speaking of shoveling, have fun with all that snow in Wisconsin that I've been hearing about from my very accurate Facebook.

In just six days I will have been here for an entire month! That's 30 days, 4 weeks, 1/12 of a year. How ever you measure it, it's been great. Now here are some fun facts that I don't feel like making into sentences.

1. I have never like pineapple until I came here, and now I can't get enough.
2. I've seen 4 cats, all within the same day and within 3 hours.
3. I've lost 14.5 pounds since I've been here. I probably won't go looking for it.
4. Everything I buy is now measured in how many buses I could buy for the same amount.
5. I hate getting pennies on the bus as change.
6. Finding a dime on the ground made my week.
7. Having an actual quarter for the bus means it's your lucky day.
8. Not sweating all day means you can wear those clothes again. 
9. I'm a little jealous of the snow, mostly because I didn't get a snow day. 
10. I have my first test tomorrow. 

There are no exciting plans for this weekend as of yet, but I did discover a spa on my way home today. I might have to check out their services and maybe get a mani, pedi, haircut, massage, ice cream, and mud bath while I'm at it.
