- Annual Spring Retreat-ICRID
Fri, Apr 20, 2012
ICRID–the Indiana Chapter of the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf–had their Annual Spring Retreat this past weekend. This, my Junior year, was my third time attending this wonderful retreat. While at this camp, you are not allowed to speak using your voice; you can only communicate using Sign Language…well, and all of the things [...]

It’s just one of those days where everything is thrown at you. It’s not bad, it’s just busy. It’s one of those days where you’re confronted with challenges and you just have to pray for the strength to get through. That is one thing that really struck me last night in Shupe Group. We often [...]

I officially started work at the dining commons. I’m working in the dish room, putting everything away. It’s a lot harder than it looks! I like it pretty well, though. The people I work with are great. They’re very kind and understanding, and don’t mind helping me out when I don’t know where something goes. [...]

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 I love being on the Chapel Band; praising God through music is an integral part of [...]

Sometimes I don’t know what to say when people ask me if I have a job. I mean, I show up, turn in timecards, and I get a paycheck, but I don’t have an ordinary job. I’m a vocalist on the Bethel College Chapel Band. So basically, I get paid to do what I love- [...]

I love my job. I work at a preschool called Mis Pasos Primeros, or my first steps. I work with 2-5 year olds, teaching the ABeCeDario (ABC’s) and los numeros 1-10. We also learn about colors and writing our letters. We sing songs, play Bingo, do flash cards, eat snacks, and we also help some [...]

My last day of student teaching as arrived. Tomorrow I go to my student teaching placement for the last time. It will also mark the last thing I have to do before graduation. It does not get anymore surreal than this. My supervising teacher and I were just talking today about how fast time goes [...]

Wednesday was the half way mark of my student teaching experience! It is flying by. I am happy it is going fast but I am also loving the experience. It has truly been a learning time in my life. Not this week but next week Bethel has spring break. This is kind of upsetting for [...]

Respite: Sing, Goddess, Karli’s respite, Abandoned academia, alternatively saturated the clock With holy orders, inhaling and exhaling grace in the midst Of the few and the thousands, And embraced the cleansing date ’11 For hope bellowed credo ut intelligam. Begin with the resting of scholarly knowledge, Attempting to make the main thing the main thing. [...]

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Okay, so I clean the guest house for Bethel chapel speakers and special guests. Last week there was a man scheduled to stay overnight, as he was going to be on campus addressing financial topics. Check-in time is technically no earlier than 4 p.m., so naturally I thought I had ample time when I [...]

First off, I would like to write specifically to Jennifer and Hannah who have commented on my last post. I really appreciate the feedback and am excited to be hearing from prospective ASL majors for the 2010-2011 school year! Your advisers are completely correct in it being hard to double major with ASL or even [...]

It is now time for Christmas carols, stockings, wrapping presents, and spreading that holiday cheer! I feel like Thanksgiving just flew by. I never realized how soon Christmas comes after it. Christmas will be here in exactly 3 weeks Ladies and Gentlemen! The students here at Bethel have one more week of classes left, then [...]
- Oh Miley Cyrus
Wed, Oct 7, 2009
It has come to my attention that the freshman on my floor may adamantly say they do not like Miley Cyrus, yet for about the 100th time this year, I am sitting in my room listening to her latest hit “Hoedown Throwdown”. Needless to say they are all learning the dance to go along with [...]

So, this week if finally done. It has been so much fun and yet so exhausting. My older sister got married this past weekend and so I was able to be home. In the bridal party, it was just me and my two little sisters. It was so much fun to celebrate Becca’s day with [...]

Mon, Jul 13, 2009
I feel like I want to start every blog with the same line, “Where to even begin!?!?!” So as much as I want to say that about this one I won’t, even though it’s the truth! I can’t tell you the number of hours that I have sat in front of the computer each time [...]

Mon, May 4, 2009
I can honestly say that I have entered into a new realm of blogger status… from “lame” to “TOTALLY LAME!!” I cant even begin to get my fingers going fast enough on this keyboard to try and convey what all has happened in life the past couple months…soooooo maybe I will go with bullet points, [...]

Can you believe it?! It’s almost April! My first year at Bethel is flying by! Right now, I am really busy with schoolwork, and life stuff. This was the week of decisions. First, I had to decide who I would be rooming with next year. I am SOOO excited because I have the chance to [...]

Tue, Dec 9, 2008
Phew! The months of November and December have been fun and intense! Lots of homework, tests, papers, and Christmas parties to attend. I am nervous for finals but so excited to go home. It’s strange how after Thanksgiving Break, you really just have 2 weeks and then finals… And then your semester is done! The [...]

Mon, Aug 4, 2008
Some of you may be surprised at this, but even mathematicians get together for conferences. I just returned from a math conference in Madison, WI, sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). There were probably over 500 mathematicians there. Now you might be asking yourself what mathematicians could sit around and talk about for three or [...]

The next stop for our team was CDYC, the Central District Youth Conference, at IWU. Needless to say, this was quite different from any camp. We weren’t in charge of any campers, and our responsibilities were whatever the directors told us to do, which, oddly enough, wasn’t that much. We each ended up serving in areas that suited [...]
