Really though, there is a reason I decided to leave the country for a year.* I love this nation that I am a part of but sometimes, she can really got on my nerves. Reflecting on my pet peeves of the red, white, and blue makes France look better and better each day - here's a list of things I WON'T miss during my year away from the States.
1. Walmart. Besides finding things for ridiculously low prices, this place purely just screams consumerism to me. I am glad to be rid of the temptation of going here for a year.

| Look at that maniacal face. Sucks the soul out of you every time. |
2. McDonalds. And Burger King. And really just all fast food. Having fresh produce and bread available every day is going to be amazing!
 |
| A typical golden arches meal (especially after Interplay rehearsal) |
3. Snow. Except for that one-honeymoon-period-occurance of snow that can only happen on christmas eve, I will be happy to be rid of that white, fluffy, wet stuff for a year.
 |
| Good riddance. |
4. Reality TV. With the obvious exception of the Bachelor, which I will be watching on Project Free TV for sure.
 |
| Yeah, not missing much here. |
 |
| I will accept my rose overseas, Juan Pablo! |
5. Paying (or caring about) the ever-changing gas prices. Although I love driving, it is going to be nice to not think about gas and "How many cents did it go up?" each day. Yay for awesome public transportation!**
 |
| My thought when passing by gas stations everyday. |
Ok so there aren't that many annoyances on this list. I think I forgot a lot of them, probably blocked them out of my mind as they are happening. Really, I am going to miss very many things being away from home (stay tuned for another post).
'merica and all your nuisances, goodbye for now!
*Besides the fact that I am an insufferable francophile.
**And walking. Lots of walking
