It's sort of strange to think that there's only 14 days until I leave. 13 full days here, as I leave on the 14th day; it's sort of scary! I've adjusted to the college/dorm life, and now I need to readjust myself to being at home and all of that, ach... there'll even be real food, this is insane!
And to think that I'll have to start work soon too, eek. I'm thinking maybe I'll spend the couple months left of Thompson school doing some substitute teaching, that way I can stay in town and sort of take it easy (as well as be closer to my ever so lovely friends who I utterly adore!) and get back into the swing of things (hurrah food and non-communal bathrooms!), before heading down to Snow Lake to sort of hunker down and get a job. Not going to lie though, before designating myself as bar-maid and hotel-maid, I'm going to look for some high-paying jobs in Thompson, maybe at MTS or something, we'll see what's available! Full time nanny perhaps (just kidding)?
Anyway, I just can't get over that I only have two weeks left. This week I need to do most of my packing, finish my two final papers, and learn German like there's no tomorrow! "Kuss mich liebling!" ... and then next week are my finals, which I'm dreading, especially Christian Worldviews, I have a sour little feeling in my stomach that it wont go over as well as I want it to. Then again, if it's on Chesterton, there's hope yet (there'll be more about him to come!).
Chesterton.. wow. Literature MIRACLE! He's a tad advanced for a lot of people, but when you're able to read him, then look over it, one finds that he's utterly amazing! Both quotes on my header thing are from him. The man is brilliant! I can't get over it, honestly, he's moving in on Shakespeare in my Literature Love Affair list! The way he tears into anyone and anything (honestly, no topic is too little or too much for this man!) without holding back on the wit and british humour, it's astounding! And the examples he thinks of are nothing short of amazing! I'm madly in like with this man!
Ok, don't want to ramble too much on that topic... but if you want a read that will be a challenge (but not too much of a challenge) with many benefits and a few laughs, read Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton. Then again, you guys don't seem to like the same things I do, so maybe don't... I dunno.
Much love,
Bethany
PS: We're going to watch a LOT of Gilmore Girls when I'm back, so get prepared NOW to hunker down with me ladies... and Doug can come too :P.

p.s. i constantly wonder as i type it, why did you call this snowed in tonight?!?!
Haha, I called it snowed in tonight because I had been looking at the snow outside of my window, and it was high, and was reflecting on how desperately single I was (and still am, but I'll come to terms with it eventually) and then thought it would be cute to be snowed in overnight with a beau. Lol. Don't gag, you know me and should have known it would come to this! Anyhow, thsi is my last full weekend here... how strange, I'm already packing!
