Will I miss…

Humans are funny. Some things tend to drive us crazy and annoy us to death, yet when they’re gone, we find ourselves missing these things. Since little of my time over the next 2 months will be spent in San Jose (since I’ll be in Nicaragua for 2 weeks, working on an internship in countryside of Costa Rica for 3 weeks and a trip to Cuba for the last part of my trip) I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll miss some of the things that occasionally annoy me in the present moment. Here are some of the things I wonder if I’ll ever find myself missing even though currently occasionally annoy me.

1. My two yappy dogs Rayo and Dixie who yap forever, sleep just outside my window and wake me up in the wee hours of the morning (2 am)?

2. The literal hours and hours I spend daily on the bus, my bus drivers, my bus buddies and the confidence I’ve gained from becoming a pro with the San Jose bus system?

3. The unending noise wherever I go (loud streets, motorcycles, music, TVs, stray dogs, honking horns, and my mom singing at any hour of the day even if we’re all asleep)

4. Having to share a bathroom with 4+ people and learning to hold my little bladder

5. Creepy old men who are convinced that their flirtatious ways will convince me to become their gringa girlfriend.

6. Having to stare at the ground while I fun at all times so I don’t sprain my ankle or flat out fall in random 3-4 feet holes in the road.

Who knows, we’ll see!
