What I Miss from Home

I started this list a few weeks after arriving in Austria; just little things I remembered about home that at some point had popped up in my head for long enough to give me a chance to write them down. After the new year begins, I'll be starting a list of what I'll miss from this new home and posting it shortly before returning.

1) family dinners at Grandma's and drinking coffee after dessert in the kitchen
2) driving
3) getting and going through the mail after I get home from school
4) eating Schwan's ice cream for lunch
5) the comfy swivel chairs in the school library
