A Bit Homesick

So it's taken me all day to read this little summary of Bede's The Life of St. Cuthbert (which isn't even the primary source like I'm supposed to be reading), and I'm a little frustrated. I was thinking about what I miss most from home, and I thought I'd make a list.

1. The Daily Show. Obviously.
2. Food I don't have to shop for.
3. Food I don't have to cook myself.
4. The Norton Anthology of English Literature. (The Penguin Classics glosses for The Canterbury Tales are really, really confusing. I miss my Norton.)
5. Knowing what's going on.
6. Not living by myself.
7. Knowing the layout of the library like the back of my hand.
8. Access to all my notes and textbooks from other classes.
9. Enough cooking utensils (especially cutting knives).
10. Stuff that isn't so deceptively expensive (I see "£" and think "$", then think, "Oh, that isn't too expensive, then" when it's twice as much).
11. All my books. You have no clue how badly I want to read Leaf By Niggle right now, and I don't have the book with me.

Okay, back to St. Cuthbert, and then dinner.
