no stairs!!!

So I just realized something incredible. Kristy pointed out to mE that there are no stairs in Arizona! At least, neither of us have seen any stairs since we got here!!! Its a long way from MVA and our 2536 stairs!! I thought you would appreciate that little tid bit of trivia. Anyways, the weekend is finally here and we can rest. Somewhat. But I am looking forward to it. I will write more when I'm on duty tomorrow.... Goodnight!

ah the joys of AdCo

It's incredible how my boring life can suddenly be filled with insane situations. I suppose these situations aren't so insane because I knew they were bound to occur, however, I wasn't expecting them to occur so quickly. Saturday I caught two of my girls in the rooms...smoking. Seriously, what kind of logic was used there? "Oh, hey, let's go smoke some cigarettes in a dorm room and let the smell permeate the entire dorm." Really? Think much? So we've been in meetings the last few days as far as punishment goes. At least it gave me something to do....

My productivity level today was superb. It was my day off so after AdCo this morning I watched a movie, did some hard-core shopping, and joined a gym. Then I worked out. Prime. After dinner, I took two of my darling girls to Jamba Juice, which is possibly the best smoothie place ever. I <3>

Oh, hey, guess what time it is! Nearly midnight. And guess what time I have to wake up? 5:25. And I still have to shower before I sleep. Tis the life of a dean. But it is on this note, however, that I will say goodnight. I will write again soon when my days aren't so crazy. This may be the last you hear from me...

utter and total boredom...

So. I have nothing to do. Take that back. I could find things to do, if i really wanted to.

And sure, there are things I need to do that I don't want to, but I feel like there isn't much to do. 

Confused? I am. 

So I put some more pictures up on my picasa, so you should definately check THOSE out. would be fab! 

Last night I had my first exciting experience as a dean; I had to take a girl to the emergency room! She wasn't hurt or anything, just feeling faint and dizzy so her mom wanted us to get her to the emergency room. It was still fun. Made me feel useful! She turned out to be ok, which was a very good thing. At least I knew my way to the hospital...

until later, dean bethany

Day 2...

I have officially started my job here as assistant dean at Thunderbird Adventist Academy.
Yesterday the girls got moved in and it went very smoothly (praise GOD!). We are working on getting to know the girls, which proves a difficult task when most of them have extremely odd names. I am quite positive I will never learn the korean's names...

To help you all out, I am three hours behind all of you, and I work between the hours of 12 and 6 my time, or 3 and 9 your time. You can pretty much call or text whenever, especially once this first week is over. The hours I work are relatively quiet, which is so nice.

My apartment is coming alone amazingly. The dorm has furniture I was able to use, and lamps left behind by other students have come in very handy :D I was surprised to have a small refridgerator and microwave in my room, making my life very easy.

There is so much i could write, but will save for another time..
check back soon for more updates, and don't forget to check my picasa web album at
