tests
We get quite a few of those in life. Sometimes more than I would like, really.
Today we went into Annency for our writing and comprehension tests. I couldn't wait to get out of the testing room. It was pouring rain outside and since the french don't have air conditioning in their buildings, the room of about 150 test-takers was muggy, humid and extremely warm. I made it through the first test alright but the second one I felt really light headed and my thoughts kept drifting off. Despite my grammatical errors, I think I passed. All is well.
tests.
The fact that I even came out to Europe to study for a year has blown my mind. A test that I believe I have passed, maybe not with flying colors, but I've passed. You see, I've never been the type of girl to do anything extraordinary. I dream big sure, but nothing really comes out of my dreams except this time. I actually came. A year ago this was just a thought taunting me. It became a reality. It's taught me quite a few things, this test. I've learned that I do like to travel but not by myself. I've learned to rely on God more than anything, realizing really how small and insignificant I am in this world (Mt. Blanc really helped with that) and now I feel as if the doors have opened. There's only an ocean between me and the world. I'll have to explore it more.
tests.
Talk about a spiritual jolt, that's what I have been experiencing this past year. Revelations and findings that have blown me away making me realize my frailty. My morality has been examined and probed. He's been speaking. I'm trying to obey.
tests.
Now, I have to return back to my life, back to the "normal" stuff that I do. Putting everything I learned here into practice might be a little difficult. I'll just have to see how that pans out. That's one test I don't have the results too and I'm okay with that. I figured out a great study guide to help me along the way. He's been pretty efficient. I can't wait to see what He planned for me.

on another note some interesting happenings from my day today:
1. While I was in McDonalds today, I had to use a code to get into the bathroom. I felt like a secret agent getting into a chamber. It was pretty awesome.
2. I heard a song on the radio today and these were some of the lyrics:
"I want to be a guy, so I can be gay, and have a boyfriend."
This was sung by a female.
3. Well, I don't really have a #3 but just felt like writing something because three interesting happenings seem better than two. Even though it doesn't exist.
