4 more days left!

Well, I've reached the end of the road! My finals are all finished as of Friday, and the rest of the time is going to be spent just hanging out with my friends.  Then in four days, I'll be HOME! I've been thinking about some of the things I'm really going to miss here and have compiled a list
-some of the best friends I have ever made
-the amazing nightlife
-being constantly surrounded by the most beautiful population in the world
-Sankt Peder's Bageri: the little bakery around the corner from my school...it has the most amazing pastries and coffee for a cheap price ($4.oo...haha)
-the very efficient public transportation system
-going to classes with students from universities all over the US
-the field studies that accompanied our classes
-hearing fluent Danish (the hardest language EVER)
-Kulor bar: the dance club my friends and I love that plays amazing music and gives free beer from 11-1
-walking down the busy Stroget street and seeing all the beautiful Christmas decorations
-the friendliness and safeness of the city
-the "hygge" concept in which everyone is made to feel comfortable and welcome
and much, much more.
However, there are some things I can't wait to see at home, such as:
-my car! (not very many people, and especially not teenagers, have cars here because they're so incredibly expensive)
-understanding what everyone is saying
-Chinese food, Indian food, Thai food...etc.
-Starbucks
-prices that are not exorbitantly high
-my wider array of clothing to choose from
-my own more comfortable and decorated room
-the quarter system...I've decided I absolutely despise the semester system
-my family and friends, of course!
Overall, though, I have the most amazing experience, but I can't wait to get home and fall back into familiarity.
