Closing in
December 9, 2008 – 9:41 pmTime does pass pretty quickly, doesn’t it? In a blink of an eye, I’m nearing the end of my first semester in USA. And I can’t be more grateful for all that God has done for me.
So many decisions and problems, especially when you don’t have a proper place to go during breaks. Like an uprooted tree or something, easily blown away.
Today was a dreary day. Raining constantly, the skies dark as if it were evening. I woke up, looked at the clock with disbelief. It couldn’t be 7am, could it? It was dark as it could be. Umbrellas in rainy weather is always a gamble, for I feel that it is much windier here than back home, and the wind threatens to snatch the umbrella out of your hand, or worse, break it. Which so far, has not happened to me. Most people pull their hoods over their heads and brave the rain, but I’m not so fond of that. Well, partly because I don’t have a proper rain jacket, I suppose.
Finals next week - only have 2. And I suppose it marks the end of the first semester, and potentially the easiest semester I will ever have again. I hope I get do get a 4.0 GPA - it irks me how straight A’s have been avoiding me since the beginning of my school life. And it irks me further that this semester, I have always missed one question in my history exams. Dang. Just that close to a perfect score.
