guess what Friday is.....

So today is Wednesday and guess what Friday is... my 21st birthday!! YAY! I think my friends are plannin' a little somethin' for me and i am very excited for this weekend!

Classes are going well, just staying really busy as always. I have my first big test in School Law next week, which i am completely dreading, but hopefully i live through that one! I've done all the assigned readings, which every college student does of course, so I'm thinkin' i should be alright.

Yesterday i met with a representative from a study abroad program who came on campus. I'm trying to figure out my life after Bethany, and I'm considering doing a teaching abroad program for a year or so. They have places you can go teach English in Japan, China, and Slovakia.. crazy huh! It sounds like a great opportunity to me, though, and i think it would be a wonderful experience. I'll keep you posted on any big decisions i make though :) Hope everyone has a fabulous week! Cheers!

first, second and finally.....

I have been in school for four days this second semester, and I have already realized a few reasons that make Bethany a great college. First of all, when you raise your hand on the first day of class to answer a question and the professor already knows your name, you automatically feel comfortable in that class. Secondly, changing your major and taking classes you really enjoy is a very easy and rewarding process. Finally, this semester I have actually realized that I do not have to hang out in my room all day, instead, I can be polishing up my amazing ping-pong skills in the pit...oh yea!!!!!!

My life as I know it...

Well everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve updated you on things here at Bethany. Interterm is over now and its back to the grindstone with spring semester starting next Tuesday. I have to say that this year’s interterm was definitely my favorite because for my class this year I got to spend five days in Washington D.C.! It was AMAZING!! I’d never been before this trip so it was a great experience to see all the sights and take tours that not everybody gets to take, such as the Pentagon. If you’ve never been to D.C. I recommend that you venture that way sometime. There is so much history there that it is absolutely remarkable. Just another great experience that has been afforded to me thanks to BC! Well I’ve finally finished applying to law schools and am now anxiously waiting to see if I get in. I’m keeping my fingers crossed and I get more nervous by the day. Wedding plans are quickly coming together as we have set a date for September 13, 2008. On a sadder note though today is my last day working in the Bethany Admissions office, I’m leaving to start my practicum on Monday. This is quite a turning point in my life, I’ve worked in this office for the last three years and I’m deeply saddened by the thought that I won’t get to see all these wonderful people everyday. However, I’ll always remember them as part of my BC family!!

Good luck on starting a new semester,
Sammie
