dreams of America

What I'm struggling with right now is that going home seems so close and yet SO. FAR. Like it will never get here. Ugh. I need to stop thinking about it so much because that makes it worse.

Anyway, I'm starting a list of things I want to do as shortly after returning to the U.S. as possible:

• go on a road trip to see as many friends and family as possible (including my BFF's baby whom I haven't met yet, so he can go ahead and start thinking of me as his cool Aunt Sarah)
• on that note, drive my car
• eat Mexican food
• swim in a pool that isn't crowded with hundreds of gawking Asians
• work out ANYWHERE not crawling with hundreds of gawking Asians
• walk down a street not filled with hundreds of gawking Asians
• eat Mexican food
• go to a concert
• float the river
• go shopping in stores that carry my size
• eat Mexican food
• eat barbecue
• not eat Asian food for at least a year
• get a haircut without being terrified of the outcome
• go to Zoe's Kitchen and Jason's Deli... at least once a week... why are so many of these about food? haha
• another one: cook, bake, in a real kitchen with an OVEN

I'm sure I will keep adding to this throughout the next 3 months.
