Words

La Douleur Exquise.

Arguably my most relatable term thus far, as melodramatic as it would imply.  Interestingly, there is no direct translation for this saying.

We all fear being alone, I fear dying alone.  I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Darkness

I envy people that know love. That have someone who takes them as they are.

-Jess C. Scott-

I forgot that the quote above failed to be published two weeks back (I tried it on my phone that time).

I've also traveled to Grand Valley State University (GVSU) for the Association of International Student Organization (AiSO) 2014 conference.  It was amazing, the people, the atmosphere, the culture; I've learned so much more, to add to what ISC had taught me.  I also learned that I can't dance.  At least, not dancing impromptu.

Anyway, to today's news.  My sister just got her SPM (major exam at the end of high school) results back.  She did remarkably, performing better than both her brothers.  I am super proud of her, and sincerely hopes that this result spurs her to do bigger things.

On another note, the ISC General Elections are being held next week, with the candidates' profiles released on the club's webpage today.  It still pains me to see that my name isn't included, as I've decided to face my last year in Iowa State outside of ISC.  Growing pains, eh?
