School has been hectic and crazy as usual but I am hoping beyond hope that Christmas break will come as soon as it can. I was lately in an International Christmas Festival at my church and was in the country of Russia with most of my friends (some of my friends were in Italy right across from our room). I had a blast and enjoyed learning about new cultures and the tastes of different food (especially the Chinese). I can't wait till next year when, hopefully, I will be able to be in it again! For right now.... just pray that I can get through the next few days until Christmas break and live to tell the tale!
