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.

Spring Fever....

Hey Everyone!!!

So I am totally ready for some summer weather and only 5 weeks till summer break!!!!
After Spring break things got pretty busy around campus. Last week was President Leonard's inauguration and campus was filled with activity!
My life has also been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. My classes are getting to the point where projects are due and the tests are getting harder :( But i guess that means school is almost out!! The women's basketball team has been playing open gym about 3 times a week and we have been doing our off-season lifting workouts, so overall my days are pretty packed, but i love keeping busy and it definately makes the weeks go by super fast! I can't believe that my freshman year of college is almost over, this year has gone by faster than i have ever imagined it would! Well i hope all is well with everyone and I can't wait to chat again!!

hola...

so spring break is over and its back to the old grind :( but only 6 more weeks of classes before summer! so that is a plus... also, this week we are celebrating our presidential inauguration, which i am on the committee for. we have planned a week full of different activities celebrating the different aspects of bethany; sports, arts, students, etc. yesterday james bradley spoke on campus, who is a new york times number one best selling author. he has written flags of our fathers and flyboys, which both became major movies directed by clint eastwood. his father was one of the men featured in the famous photograph of the soldiers raising the american flag on iwo jima. both at the q&a session and the evening presentation he discussed what he has learned about this event by contacting veterans and historians.

but that was just one of the events planned for this week! on friday there is a toga party sponsored by the school, a root beer social, and we are bringing in equipment for a "make your own video" event, which i'm very excited for :) then on saturday is the actual inauguration ceremony, a silent auction, and a formal dinner and ball.

needless to say this week is crazy on campus, but it will definitely be a good time!
