So lately I've been thinking about what it's going to be like when I get home. I underwent alot of changes while I've been here. Some things I'd like to keep doing when I get back, like walking everywhere and I'm sure there's some other positive things that I'd like to incorporate. But there are many things that I'll be delighted to be done with when I'm gone. Like carrying a weapon everywhere. I know it's bad ass, but I really would rather not do it. Another thing is working through weekends. When did I ever become a workaholic? Maybe I confused myself, I know I used to be an alcoholic, so now I replaced one holic with another? That can't be healthy. And speaking of alcohol, I know I'm going to quit being sober all the time. Life used to be much more engaging, when I drank.
I'm also going to start looking like a girl when I get back to the states. It's been great waking up in the morning and not having to worry about what I'm going to wear, because well there's really only one style I can pick from. You can wear exercise gear in your off time here, but you must wear a reflective belt. Even if everything else is reflective, you must wear the belt. I for one like the belt. I can be seen at night, and not be worried about getting ran over by vehicles going 20 miles per hour.
And that's another thing, I've gotten used to reading speed limits in both metric and American.
The highest speed limit on base is 30 miles per hour. I will be like grandma driving down the highway going 40 MPH, because anything faster than that I'm not used to. In California, you have to go at least 80 MPH just to keep up with everyone.
When I go to the store in the states I might actually find what I'm looking for. Instead of like here where you go into the exchange and it has alot of crap, just nothing that you're looking for. I'm looking forward to sitting down at a nice restaurant and pick food that sounds appealing and it is. Or I'll just go to the local Mexican joint and order a California burrito. Or calamari tacos from South Beach. Yeah I miss that.
