Countdown: 21 days - C

I'm looking forward to COOKIES, COUCHES, CORN CASSEROLE, COUSINS, CATCHING up, COUNTRY music, and the smell of CHRISTMAS.

I'm thankful for CHRIST my King, CHRIST my Best Friend, CHRIST my Redeemer, CHRIST my Savior, CHRIST my Lover, CHRIST my Healer, but most of all, CHRIST'S sacrifice on the CROSS.

I'm heading out to Sapporo to take the JLPT on Sunday. My brain feels like it's about to explode. I think everyone in the village knows I'm taking this test, so it'll be bad if I don't pass it. However, everyone has been really nice about helping me study. I'll probably have to skip a few days until I get back to the tiny village Monday morning. That's assuming my brain doesn't explode conjugating verbs in the next 24 hours.
