crazy kansas weather..

Wow, what month are we in again? It seems like April just got here, and now it’s half over. April and May are awesome months for a couple of reasons. First, it means school is almost over, and second, it means thunderstorm season. We have had a few good storms here recently, and it is times like this when you realize how diverse Bethany College actually is. At breakfast, some kids that are not used to Kansas weather told me stories of some recent stormy nights. Most of them woke up in the middle of the night thinking they were in a tornado, and wondering whether they should seek shelter. After hearing this, I laughed, mainly because I didn’t even wake up those nights at all. I guess I was used to the April and May shenanigans after growing up in central Kansas. I had no idea how windy it was, and how much hail and rain Lindsborg had actually gotten, but apparently lots of students did. While walking around campus and eating meals in the Caf, I hear many out of state students complaining about the Kansas weather. Well I would have to say that Kansas keeps it real when it comes to weather, because no one knows what the weather is going to be like until they walk outside and see for themselves.
