i've finally made the decision to extend my stay into the rest of the school year. but shh, don't tell anybody yet, because nothing has been finalized. i'm pretty sure that it will go through, though. i signed the papers yesterday. here's to hoping! i've booked my flight home for xmas break already, so mark your calenders for dec 20-jan 13. i cannot cannot wait to see everybody! that is all, bye.
