I'm home

Well, it's the weirdest feeling being home. Everything feels familiar, yet different. I've realized that not everyone understands the little Portuguese phrases that I always used on the mission to get my point across. I've also discovered that my Spanish is absolutely terrible.

Things I find strange or interesting:
  • Street signs on every corner
  • Milk that comes in gallons and goes bad if left out
  • Everyone around me speaking perfect English
  • Listening to people with an American accent
  • Being able to play video games all day and no one cares
  • Being on Facebook
  • Having carpet in my house
  • The fact that I don't have to press the Alt key to type this (@) anymore
  • Listening to people speak Spanish and wanting to tell them how terrible their Portuguese is
  • Having a little brother that is as tall as I am
I'm sure I'll find more things as the days go on.
