This was our last chapel, so the elementary staff put on this little skit for the kids. It was soooo funny! You have to read the revolting rhyme of the 3 Little Pigs that is on the slides!! Too funny… ENJOY! I will be home in 3 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ashlea, Erin and I went to the zoo yesterday (Monday) and it was wonderful. I love the zoo! I’m always so fascinated, plus it’s the perfect means of walking around and catching up with friends, getting some sun, and having some laughs.
Ashlea also brought two of her school friends (Sarah and Julia) and we got to know them and find out about Ashlea’s other life. Here’s some pictures 
This is us being animals. We’re really good at it, you can tell. 
The second picture is pretty much the same idea. I’m an alligator, Erin’s a bunny, Sarah’s a fish, Julia’s a butterfly, and Ashlea’s…..a bird!
I think that this gorilla has the right idea!!!
And I’d like to tell you that this plant attacked me, but I don’t think you’d believe me.
Wow…the end is near, and it’s the strangest feeling ever. My emotions are a roller coaster as I think back to all the amazing things this year brought, and having the best class in the world that I fell in love with, while on the other hand knowing that I have an amazing summer to look forward to. The next 2 weeks will be ultimate stress, as I wrap up school stuff, report cards, permanent records, taking my whole room down, packing, planning for next year, etc!!! I know its going to fly and before I know it I am going to be relaxing on the beach in the outer banks!!! I cant believe it has been a year already and the thought of being back in the states for the summer is so surreal, and it will definitely be an adjustment! Looking forward to catching up with everybody and recharging for another year in Nigeria with a new class to fall in love with!!!!
Yes, it’s true… I’m 21 years old and I’m still afraid of the dark. *cough* Loser! *cough* I know, I know. When I got home not only was I stunned by the newly painted red walls but I was made aware that I no longer truly live here (my bedroom is now an office) and I’m therefore condemned to the dungeon of a basement to sleep in.
The basement where it’s cold and even more notably, it’s dark. As I got to the bottom of the stairs I realized that if I shut off the stairway light that there would be a 20ft black abyss before I could get to the light of the next room. Do I run for it and hope to make it? Or do I leave the light on, go to the next room, turn that light on, and then return and shut off the stairway light. If you can’t guess….I chose the latter option. Don’t make fun of me! I just don’t like it. I can make myself do it if I have to, but I’d much rather not. I don’t know what it is….it’s just creepiness. I say that I’m not actually scared that something is going to reach out and get me, but apparently that’s not completely true.
In my defense, I do make myself get used to it. It’s just harder when I’m alone. Sleeping in a dark room at school is no problem. I mean, I still don’t let my limbs hang over the edge, but I can go to sleep without even thinking about it. At home in what used to be my bedroom, I got over the dark a long time ago, plus there are windows that let some light in. But downstairs, where I’m alone, there’s only those small basement windows, it’s taken me 3 nights to get used to it. So there’s my confession of patheticness.
In other news….And probably the more important news. I’m confirmed to go to the Philippines! Finally, things are falling into place to get there and come back. I’ve complicated matters by wanting to get there directly from my Israel trip, but it’s all working out. The trip has been shortened to only 3 weeks so that I don’t have to get a visa while I’m there. It was just to hard to get a visa before I left, so only 3 weeks. I have mixed emotions about this. In a way I’m happy that I don’t have to hassle with Visa stuff and 3 weeks is less intimidating than 4 (even though it’s not a big difference). But I’m also a little sad. It’s one week less that I get to spend in a foreign country, and it also means that I will be visiting one of my friends in Washington D.C. a week earlier than expected. Which is only sad because I was going to be visiting her over 4th of July weekend. (which would have been sweet) But all is well and I’m starting to get really giddy about all three little trips. It’s all going to go so fast.
When I got home I talked my parents ears off and then the rest of this week is full of little preparations for the trips. Calling people, looking at tickets, confirming plans, reading information, etc. It’s been good. I have been blessed that a lady in my church is helping me to fund raise some of the money that I will need and that is soooo exciting. That is happening this weekend and I need to prepare for that as well. I’ve also been enjoying some sleeping in and some movie watching. Not many of my friends are home, but they will be soon. We are going to the Omaha Zoo next week, which I think will be one of the highlights of being home.
This is the life. The sun shinning, true friendship, challenges to face but not be consumed by, excitement about the future. I really feel so happy and blessed by everything that God has given me this semester. He’s taught me soooo much this semester.
But….The year is coming to a close and I wish I could be happier about it. I feel so ready to go home and see my parents. I miss them so much, but I don’t feel ready to be gone from my life here at Bethel. Even the school work I could put up with more. That’s crazy talk I know! But it’s true, I just am not ready to leave my social network here. The thought of not seeing these people for four months is no fun at all.
However, I will think about the positive. This summer should be amazing. I’m going literally all over the world and hope that I will learn and experience so much. Israel and the Philippines will be so different for me and I really hope that they will both help me to know where I am supposed to go with life after school. But I don’t really want to talk about all that now.
Let me tell you about the fun stuff I’ve been doing the past couple of weeks. Well the “fun” (I’m lying) stuff I’ve been doing mostly has been writing year end papers for all my classes. I wrote a total of 48 pages in one week. Yeah that’s right! Be amazed! Fake it if you have to! I will admit that part of the large number of pages in such a short period is because of my amazing skills at procrastinating. Haha….
But really, the fun stuff was the Earl Awards, Chris’ Bonfire, and Girls night out. I have pictures!
So the Earl Awards are the Bethel Theater Department’s version of the Oscar’s so it’s a night of great fun. This is the first year that I’ve gone and I had a blast. It was a no pressure night for me because my date, Chad, was really laid back and I didn’t have to do anything but show up. Most people just get dressed up nice, but as you can see Chad (and his friend Dan) was hilarious and decided to go 70’s for the night. I knew he was doing this so I decided to add some spice to my dress to go along with him. Notice in particular the huge peace sign earrings. I won’t tell you every detail of the night, but in short I had a lot of fun.
Then….in the same dress:):):) I went out for a girls night last night. We had so much fun. Just getting dressed up for the heck of it is one of the best ideas ever. It makes us feel pretty. So we went to Carabba’s here in town and splurged on yummy Italian food. (I had shrimp over alfredo) People asked us if we
were going to prom and it made us feel a little pathetic, because we hoped that by now we don’t look like high schoolers, but I understand that normally people don’t wear dresses like that otherwise.
We had a lot of fun just laughing, telling stories and sharing dessert. Great night.
