What's Missed, What Will Be Missed

What's missed:
  • Free refills
  • In-N-Out
  • Netflix
  • Non-military time
  • Eating and drinking in the library (at Amherst, anyway)
  • $5 movie theater tickets
  • Talking in dollars, bucks, and cents, not in pounds, quid, and pence
  • Wal-Mart
  • Good pizza
  • Ceiling fans
  • Crossing streets safely
  • Hearing "you're welcome," not "cheers" 
  • Fanta
What will be missed:
  • The cheapest flights I'll ever know
  • Trains
  • Old men with pipes and old women with dainty hats
  • Pubs instead of seedy bars
  • Gourmet Burger Kitchen
  • Coke with real sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup
  • The Alternative Tuck Shop
  • Living in a medieval city
  • Clean linens each week
  • Being an hour from London
  • Never fearing that the library won't have the book I'm looking for
