I just finished my last test today and it took me three hours.  I am thankful it is over but dread finding out how I did.  Even if I think I did well, there is still some part of me that harbors the thought of doing badly.  My inner fear coming out from hiding.  <\/p>\n<p>I have only 12 days left until I leave this country.  It is getting so close but it still feels like an eternity away.  I haven&#8217;t really given myself a lot of time off to think about it with 2 jobs and school &#8211; now that school is out, I&#8217;ll just work more.  Nevertheless, my dreams are going to become real soon enough.  How crazy it is to think of it all!  I once heard the quote <span class=\"mindworkquotemini\">&#8220;Only those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world actually do.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>  I do not know who it was quoted by but I still think it to be one of the truest things I&#8217;ve heard.  I am a dreamer and I dream in the brightest colors you have ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>Winter is upon us but there isn&#8217;t a lot of snow to be found.  It is very patchy and mostly consists of dangerous bits of ice on the ground.  One step on that and you&#8217;re bound to fall flat on your face.  I know, I&#8217;ve done it in years past.  I&#8217;ve gotten lucky so far this year but it is yet to be over.  I can&#8217;t imagine what Christmas would be like without snow.  Even when I lived in North Carolina it always managed to snow a few days beforehand and it would stay just long enough to give you that holiday feeling.  We have also been having a lot of wind.  That is what makes winter unpleasant up here.  One can handle the cold until it blows through you and into your bones.  <\/p>\n<p><em>Je suis pr\u00eat.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finals.
