hey. hey. hey! 

you might be wondering what i'm doing on here, it hasnt been 3 months why is betsy updating??  well i'll tell you.  i don't have a whole lot of other things to do, this is what its come down to - - me, sitting here typing.....you, trying real hard to be entertained by my extremely unentertaining life at the moment.  that'll change in about 6 days though...............thanks kanakuk.

mel was in an earthquake last week in jamaica!  how cool is that?  5.1, bigger than any earthquake i've been in.....pretty cool but she still needs to come home.

I tried to plan the rest of my life earlier tonight.  didn't get very far! I'm not sure why i wanted to do that, i don't really like planning or committing to anything a day in advance....so why i'd try to plan my life, i don't know, but anyways i already said i don't have a lot of other things to do! so - - kinesiology is fun b/c its just about sports and staying in shape, but beyond that i don't really know about it.....political science, spanish, and accounting/business whatever, or anything international or diplomatic all look great....but on the other hand i'd love to move to some exotic country and just see what happens and forget about money and every other distraction in this country.  good thing i don't have to figure all this out right now.  but if you think u know what i should do w/ my life, let me know i'm open to suggestions!

going to manhattan monday for knee appointments........hopefully(but realistically, doubtful) i'll get cleared 100% for sports or whatever i want to do.  But honestly I guess it really doesn't matter if he clears me or not, I've been playing basketball, and anything else you can think of for the past month and I haven't been cleared, so whatever he says now isnt going to stop me.  I really don't recommend that philosophy of getting back into stuff too soon to anyone else though, b/c I pretty much have to wear that obnoxious brace all the time(when I should pretty much be through w/ it), my legs always swollen, sore, and stiff, and i'm no good at playing b/c i'm so outta shape. 

Welllll.......I'll leave u all w/ my new favorite verse!  its proverbs 27:14, "He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be reckoned a curse to him!"

hey guys!  (well, the couple people left that might possibly read this!)  yes its been awhile....I thought i might pick this thing back up while i'm at home and not going 80 mph.  Back from good old manhattan, and just to let you know it was an incredible first year!  I couldnt have even imagined it to be as great as it was, lots of new friends (that i dearly miss!) and new experiences blah blah blah.  the grades might not be up to par, or even close for that matter, but i think i got an a plus in life.  k maybe not.  just an a plus in having fun.  but i got that through my system (i could be lying) and its now all about working on that blown gpa (?).  

anyways its definitely weird being back, but i really like my family so thats good and i also really like seeing all the old group and friends again!!  we've definitely gotta get the sand vball back in full swing.......b/c i havent seen a whole lot of excitement this past week, but a few exciting things thatve happened:  my bank was robbed and it was so cool!, the first royals game i go to they get 12 hits (we all know this means krispy kreme)  of course i don't have the slighest clue if they won probably not, our attempted night of camping out fell through guess you need a tent for that, umm i guess thats it!  except that i went to mahattan today for pt and it took me 2 hours to get back from topeka thank you traffic.  More news:  I can run for good now, and i'm loving every bit of it.  and more:  my sisters gonna be interning in jamaica in my beloved harmons for 3 MONTHS, what am i suppposed to do w/ myself?  3 months?  i don't think i've gone more than a week not talking to her!  a short getaway to jamaica might be in order...

AND!!!  I'M LEAVING FOR KANAKUK TOMORROW!!  Yep i'm working there this summer, staff training is tomorrow til june 1 then i work the middle term, june 23-july19 to be exact.  AND - - I love letters.  If you love writing letters and write me, i will of course write you back.  K-West, 793 K-West Drive, Lampe, MO 65681.

Thats about it.

I'd just like to get it out in the open that today has been a day from the pit of hell.  For starters, physical therapy is torture........everything kills, I can't figure out how to walk blah blah blah.  After that failed a cis quiz.  Oh...I also got parking ticket #34895738 this afternoon when I have a freaking handicapped parking thing that they obviously didnt see.  I think i cried one time in junior high and I cried tonight at chapter whenever I tried to talk.......i'm a loser.  none of that even sounds like a big deal but whatever.  Heres the best part..........

my sister is taking ballroom dancing class and theres this obscene move they have to do and its the most hilarious thing ever and then while they were doing it they couldn't stop laughing.....so she fell off him....knee snapped.....and they think she tore her acl too!!!  insane isnt it!  if you wanna hear more details about this story.....you'll have to ask mel its really pretty funny.  I have a curse on everyone i come across when it comes to tearing stuff the past few weeks - - girl i work w/, roommate, sister, sister's roommate........good gosh.  Anyways I guess this is all kinda funny when you think abuot it.

lets see....I'm just sitting here, doing what I do best - sitting here.  acl surgery sucks just so you all know.  more than that the whole process sucks.  what I am supposed to do w/ myself until september or even june when I can start running is beyond me.  I don't really remember when my life has been has as boring as it is now - - nothin fits over this massive brace besides sweatpants, which i'm probably not gonna hit the town in.  and when i'm not in class i'm probably reading a text book on my bed. 

On a better note, I have really great friends.  And I have plenty of time to think about life or whatever else, that kinda scares me though.

WEll well well...........on christmas break right now......defintely feels like I'm caught between two different lives if that makes any sense.  Not gonna lie I am a tad bit bored at times here.  But these breaks are good for me - - - my dad feels its necessary to pay me for everything!!  He pays me to shop for my mom, wrap gifts, things I enjoy doing, its a pretty good deal.  On to more exciting issues - - - i think the climax of the last few days has been getting a piece of cheesecake shoved down my throat at cheesecake factory while we were taking a picture and then hitting my head on the booth so hard I had a headache and couldn't fall asleep that night.  Yes this is how exciting my life is.  Not kidding!  Even awesomer than that is.....................

..........I'll be in Jamaica in about 10 days with 17 other really neat ksu-ers!!!!!!!!! then back in manhappiness right after that.  yehaw.  

Wanna know whats kinda funny????  Reading entries from a year ago......thinking how my life revolved around basketball and was basketball....things have changed!!!  I miss it a whole lot but I love my life now even though I always think about the "what ifs".  real crazy how a sorority takes my time and life now.  didn't see that one coming! God's pretty good at changing up plans when you tell Him yours.

Anyways.....I'm gonna get back to my really fun life.  BYE FRIENDS!!
