- My apartment is infested with spiders and I can't deal with it
- My bed is basically a wooden packing pallet and I want to sleep in the best bed ever aka my mom's house
- It's hot as balls, and only getting hotter over the next few weeks
- Some people are being douche canoes and I'm realizing that people I thought were friends were really just using me
- I want Indian buffet and stuffed crust pizza and Chipotle and smoothies
- I can't cook anything here as I have no oven, my kitchen is the size of a matchbox, and my kitchen tools consist of like 3 wooden spoons and a bowl
- I need good drip coffee
- **I am dying to see my girlfriends and family**
Reasons I'm not Ready to Leave Tbilisi:
- I'm finally hitting my stride at work
- I'm finally making potentially useful professional connections
- I (was) totally on a roll with going to the gym
- Fall is apparently magical here (hello, grape harvest season)
- There is still so much unexplored in the country as a whole and in Tbilisi
- I haven't eaten enough Georgian food and I will miss it
- I don't want to go back to school and deal with stuff like getting furniture for my apartment, buying textbooks, Batten math boot camp, and being on Grounds
- I am dreading reopening my planner and going back to the grind of daily minutiae
- I love speaking Russian, and I love hearing Georgian
- I LOVE pretending I'm a real adult, and thinking of my future life and potential trajectories
Bonus non-categorized:
- I'm weirdly starting to think like a Georgian girl, like, hunting for a husband...and I'm kind of okay with it...but that's super scary so I probably need to get back to America where I'm unattractive and unremarkable STAT
- I am SO sick of living my life in a constant countdown. Nothing is ever open ended, nothing is ever up to my own discretion, nothing is ever semi-permanent. I live in a series of temporary cycles, always waiting for the end, and it's giving me a mother f**king ulcer. I want to be able to stay somewhere until I'm bored with it, I want to be able to leave when I'm finished, not when my calendar tells me it's time to move onto the next cycle...
