9:11 am - so, funny thing
|
I'm literally sitting in class (intro to business) right now and the funniest thing just happened. We had to turn a small assignment in the beginning of class. No big deal, but an assignment none the less. So we are doing these "role plays" for silly stuff and the prof just left the room to explain the next situation to two people. As soon as the prof left the room two people ran up to the front of the room to put down their assignments they had just crapped out on paper during class. They seriously ran to the front of the room. We were all cracking up...
Alright...back to class.

4:12 pm - remember me?
|
I like this game.
If you read this, even if i don't speak to you often, you must post a memory of me. It can be anything you want, it can be good or bad, just so long as it happened.
Then post this to your journal. See what people remember about you
current mood:  good

9:43 pm - i hate waiting
|
So I feel like I'm applying for everything in the world right now and I don't much like it. I have a scholarship that I'm applying for which isn't really all that big of a deal. I am soon going to be applying for a spring break serve trip. If you remember, I went to Utah last year, I don't know what the options are this year. I have an internship at Home Depot that I'm applying for this summer. I am applying to be a worker at the Duke Youth Academy which is the thing Kevin does during the summer for a couple weeks. And last but not least, I am applying to be an RA again next year. That's the one that scares me the most. I applied last year and it didn't turn out exactly how I had planned (meaning I didn't get it). I really really really want it though and feel like I would do a good job. I turned in my application a couple days ago and on tuesday I find out if I even get an interview. They are doing things different this year. I am not really scared about the whole interview thing, I just remember that last year after all the applications and interviews, they wait 3 weeks to pray about it to decide who it's going to be. That is simply too long. I'm super scared because if I don't get it, I pretty much will feel like a really big loser....twice. Until then, I will be constantly crapping my pants.

Well, I have to say this break has been very good. I haven't been bored until right......now.
Now that Christmas is over and we still have two weeks left of break, I don't really know what to do with myself. My guess is that I will be ready to go back to school when it is time. Until then, I will most likely do a little bit of nothing.
Alright, well I don't really want to write a lot now so I'm gonna stop.
Bye.

Well, I have one week left full of finals and then I'm off for home.
Last night Kevin, Steph, Jimmy, Kayla and I went to the Nutcracker. Lots of fun. I had to drive back to school pretty late which actually wasn't all that bad. I listened to Christmas music and sang at the top of my lungs.
I just thought I would add a little something that might make some of the guys uncomfortable but is just too funny to leave out. It has been a hard week for my three roommates and I. This is written on the white board in our living room.
"Menstrual cycles of River Street House Apartment unite!"

So, this weekend was not in anyway restful. I went home even though I was just home last weekend for thanksgiving. I had two main reasons for this.
1. I promised my mom I would decorate the house for christmas
2. I got Kevin's brother Johnny and I tickets to the Comedy Sport's show downtown for his birthday
K, so I went home on friday. That day was not all that bad except for mom and I had to put the tree together all by ourselves (last year we got a really good artificial tree that you have to put all the individual branches on). Then Kevin decided he would like to go shopping for christmas with me on saturday morning. He wanted to leave at 6:15! I talked him into leaving at 7:30. So we did that and I came home and decorated the rest of the house with my mom. Then I went to get Johnny and go to the show. Well, most of you know Johnny, he was a little excited. Anyways I was tired.
After church today I had to run back to school because we had to work on a project. So I have one week until finals. Yay.
current mood:  no rest for the weary
current music: Christmas in the Northwest (i hate that song)

I was talking to one of my friends from church this summer and had this conversation. It is from when I was working at Multnomah Falls. I just found it again and thought it somewhat enjoyable.
TplaysBASS: hows the falls?
YeahBethany: good
YeahBethany: i work a butt load
TplaysBASS: really?
YeahBethany: yeah 40 hours a week
TplaysBASS: but they pay you right?
YeahBethany: of course
TplaysBASS: good
TplaysBASS: didnt know if you were like one of those rare white slaves or somethin
YeahBethany: no, my brother is though
TplaysBASS: you dont have a brother
TplaysBASS: .....(thinking deeply)......
YeahBethany: yeah, but if i did, i would want him to be a rare white slave
TplaysBASS: who you own
YeahBethany: ?
TplaysBASS: you would own him?
YeahBethany: nah, ironically a black man would

12:46 pm - please pray
|
Last night at 10:30 the george fox community recieved an email that on of our own RA's was missing at a retreat at lincoln city. She had been missing since about 6:30 when she was spending some quiet time on the beach. They had found some of her clothing along with her Bible there. This morning at about noon we recieved another email that her body was found. It seems to be that she was wading in the water and somehow got pulled under. As you know, our school is small so this makes a huge impact on our close community. Please be in prayer of the girls on Karissa's floor as well as other friends and family. There is not much else to say.

3:39 pm - ebay
|
So, the other day I looked around on ebay for the first time. I was looking for a wireless keyboard and mouse for my dad for christmas. Well, I didn't get a keyboard, but I did get hooked on ebay. I am looking around on it all the time. I know it's pretty much a waste especially because I am too scared to actually bid on anything, but it's fun to see what's out there. It's a good thing I don't have diddly squat to do because if I did, I wouldn't be doing it. Well, I take that back, but you know what I mean.
I felt crap crap crappy today. Gotta love that.
The other day in the sewing lab a girl definitely sewed over her finger with the machine. Talk about a puncture wound.
This is what my praxis professor Irv asked us today. "Is it colder in the winter, or in the country?" Just think about that for a little while.
current mood:  blah
current music: no

12:35 am - figure it out already!
|
Yeah, I'm still watching the presidential election and I just want it to be over. I just want one more state to be announced, then I will feel able to go to bed. I have to get up tomorrow, but it's ok because I have several classes cancelled tomorrow for unknown reasons. That's slightly exciting. I think I might go to class for an hour and then head back to bed for a few more. Might mean I don't go to chapel again...I have only missed a few, everything should be fine.
I'm feeling pretty bored with school currently. I have very little to do. I have 18 credits and the least amount of homework I've had since I've been in college. i'm not the type of person who wants to have cake classes, I like challenges. Whatever, I'm just looking forward to a good thanksgiving or christmas break.
So, it was freakin' cold today. Cold and rainy. That was somewhat sucky. I don't much mind the rain, but the cold is not favorable. The early evening darkness is kinda sucky too. I guess it is nice to get up for class in the morning and have it be light out though, I do like that.
K, still bored. Now I'm alone too. Alone and bored.

Just got back from home with Katie and Larae. I don't really think it was an amazing weekend, but it was good enough. We hung out with my family, went over to Kevin's, watched tv, went shopping, went to church, ate lots of food, ya know, just regular stuff.
I really wanted them to go to my church and like it. My pastor spoke on homosexuality and I don't think Larae liked that too much because she said she already knows all about it, but I enjoyed the service a lot. Our worship kicked butt, good song selection.
(jebenaba just signed on)
My art work is still up on the wall, that's a good sign.
I have a super big presentation to give on tuesday in praxis with a guy and we haven't really done a ton of work on it. So, guess that means tomorrow night is gonna suck a little.
I just looked in my room and my bag and hamper are still full. I hate unpacking. Oh well, at least I have clean clothes.
Kevin shaved all his facial hair off. Now he looks like a little boy. He keeps thinking that I don't like facial hair, but I keep telling him that I do. Silly boy. Whatever, I pretty much like whatever he does. Except for mustaches, I hate mustaches.

2:38 pm - Starting fresh
|
I'm going to pretend like I've been updating this all along and haven't missed a beat.
So, I'm super excited about this weekend. Two of my roommates, Katie and Larae, are coming home with me. This will be the first time anyone from school has stayed the weekend at my house and I've been upset about that because I love my home and my family and I love my friends and I want those two worlds to meet.
I talked to Kevin's mom, Cassy, if we could hang out at their house some of the time because Katie and Larae really like Kevin so I thought that would be fun. Cassy said we could make muddy buddies which is one of the best snack/desserts known to man. That's right. My family calls it puppy chow because, well, that's just what we call it, but it's not dog food, no worries. Maybe it looks like it....I dunno.
So this last weekend I put up the coolest wall art ever. Since I work for the interior design professor, that means I clean the interior design library, which is full of sample books and what not. So as I was throwing stuff out, I came across these vinyl wall covering samples so I took them (no I wasn't stealing, they were going to be thrown out anyways) and ripped the books apart and made art with them on our living room wall. So it looked super cool and took a lot of effort to put up, but sadly the night before last it all came crashing down. So yesterday I took a new approach to putting it up and it's looking good again. I've spend entirely too much time and energy on it, but it looks freakin' awesome! Man, I rock.
current mood: okay
current music: I've been whistling a lot today, that will suffice

5:30 pm - hello all
|
Wow, it's been a long time. I feel like I've been so busy, but when I think about it, all I'm doing is working. I'm a full timer out at good old multnomah falls which is the same amount I worked last summer, but my hours suck this summer. I usually work 1-9:30 which means I don't see much of people because they are up and out before I get up and are heading to bed by the time I get back from my half hour commute. I love having everyone home again and hanging out. We've done the good stuff like last summer with steph, jim, erin, and ken with a little bit of mike or hannah thrown in. Oh, an of course kevin is there, of course.
We are planning a week long camping trip with the gang out at East Lake in the Bend area. It's gonna be awesome and I am totally looking forward to it because I am really not doing much "summer" stuff this summer.
I really haven't talked to anyone from school which is kinda weird, but I'm getting excited to go back and hang with everyone again. It really does make me feel like I have two seperate lives or that I have an alter ego or something because my two worlds never mesh together. It's either I'm at home with home friends or I am at school with school friends. I don't think about school very much, but when I do, I get excited. Next year will be cool, I have officially decided that.
Kevin is in North Carolina right now helping out with the youth program at Duke University. He's gonna be gone for like 2 1/2 weeks which totally sucks but we will make it. It should be fun for him. Meanwhile I'm doing the same old crappy crap crap of work back here. Whatever I guess I get a little bit of money out of it...stress on the "little."
K, I'm out now. Comment.

So, I don't update very much, but it's not my fault so get off. I don't do very much interesting stuff anyways.
I have been working for a month now and it's ok. It's still not really busy so I get bored, but it will speed up soon. The other day a humming bird flew in the store. It was in there for like 15 minutes and couldn't get out. Some customers finally caught it. Then a few hours later it happened again.
This weekend I went with the Dirksen family to their church retreat. I had a really good time. We didn't really do that much as far as planned activities, just kinda hung out and played games. It was fun just hanging out with Kevin's family and becoming closer to them. It was at the beach and it rained the whole time.
My sister got back from Africa, stayed home a night, and moved herself back to Fox for the summer. She had an awesome time, but I wish she could be around more.
I've already spend $80 on gas since we got out of school. 80 freakin' dollars. That's sucks.
Well, the nana is over tonight so I best be going to visit and all that jazz. Talk to you all later, I miss you.

1:43 pm - so...3 times the fun?
|
Sorry that last time I updated it updated three times. That wasn't supposed to happen.
I went to high school today to see the ole choir folk. It was actually super fun. I stayed for their lunch and just hung out. It's weird because Hannah and Julia both have boyfriends now and it was really my first time hanging out with them with the boys. Weird in a good way of course. Super cute way. I will always think of them as my freshmen friends because that's how old they were when I really started to be friends with them.
So Kevin is going to North Carolina wednesday for like 4 days. That will be weird. I guess it's just slowly getting me used to him being gone because he is leaving for a week in june for Boys State, and then like 2 1/2 weeks in july. Then he is going to go to school a week early for his job thingy which means he will be at school 2 weeks before me because he starts earlier than I do. So I hope everyone else is ready to get a whole lot of Bethany because she is gonna need people to hang out with.
I'm gonna take Kaitlyn to go get her class ring today probably and then just be at home. I might make dinner for the parentals and myself. That would be nice of me.

10:51 pm - blahdy blah
|
So I got some New Balance shoes to help at work and today i had no pain. Tis good news.
I don't really have all that much to say. All I do is sleep and work, hang out with kevin a little, and spend the rest of my time with the fam.
Last night was pretty sweet. I went over to Kevin's and we hung out. We had some dairy queen and then played smash brothers with his brother johnny and his mom cassy. Cassy kicked my butt which is sad, yet very funny. Then kevin and I watched a movie. Good times at the Dirksen's.
Thursday I am going to Gresham High School's production of the musical West Side Story. Kevin's sister is in it, plus thousands of other people I know (alright i was lying...a few people). That will be cool because Kevin and I's first thing we did together was go to the musical last year (which was Godspell and it made me cry especially because of Sarah Leenders whom I got a wedding invitation from today, weird yet sweet). whoa.
So now it's almost 11:00 and I'm not tired, but I think I am going to read for a while. I am reading a book that I found in our office here at home and it's all about baptist's beliefs which is interesting because by golly, I'm a baptist.
So, later.
