Do I even dare to speak, to dream, believe?
(Buck, Mills, and Stipe)

Well, today is the day. The calls are already happening and several people have already reported getting in - but not me - not yet. I just thought I should save this moment by blogging it - regardless of whether I get in or not. The title of this post comes from the R.E.M. song 'Around the Sun' and I thought it was quite appropriate for this moment. You feel like you will never make it yet there is this chance - no matter how little.

Do I dare? Of course I do. Three years preparing, and a genuine desire to pursue this dream will never go away. All, I can say is that I hope I look back at this moment and realize that I could have been that person who never experienced this feeling of anxiety and pleasure for having tried. Don't let your dreams die a premature death. Dare to dream and to pursue those dreams with your whole heart!
