DeLaYeD

I'm sorry for my delays... I feel terribly bad. Sometimes this is the only thing that keeps me connected with the friends I do not get to see all the time. It has been just so crazy busy, and even though I was here all last weekend and such, not too much went on. I had NOTHING to report on. Luckily we had Veteran's Day off, which was the start of a very intriguing weekend.

So everytime Anna and I have a day off from school, we skip Thursday and come home Wednesday night. Well this time I decide to skip my 6:00-8:30 lecture, and we leave super early so we can go visit some wonderful people at the U of M!! The original reason was that our friend Corie was missing Anna so much, and it was Karrah's idea to come visit and surprise her. I also knew that Nate (aka NATHAN CRIST ahahaha! I can never not say it!) also lived in the same building, so we met up with Karrah and surprised Nate! I do believe he was surprised! It was funny cuz at first he had NO idea it was me! It's fun to surprise/scare people! They look all confused thinking, "you don't go here...." ah, the enjoyment..oh rapture. lol. At any rate we certainly surprised Corie, and it was a fun time! Even though all we did was get ice cream from Ben and Jerry's around the corner and talk, it was refreshing to be with them. Like I love being with Anna at school and such, but it's so much fun when there are more of you to just be together. We both felt refreshed with the change of scenery and the change of dorm rooms. haha. So Wednesday was such a hit.

Thursday was just as fun! So a couple weeks ago when a couple of us were at Schony's, Molly planned a little bowling thing, and so we were all going to go bowling when I called Medina and there was some private party! This is bad because, this is where we BOWL! Then I started feeling bad cuz I wasn't sure what we were going to do, but then I searched around and we thought we should go to Tuttles in Hopkins. NOTE: On Tuesday and Thursdays, it's all you can bowl for $10! It's a very good deal! Anyway, we all decided (Lee, Anna, Adam, Molly, Me) to eat at Perkins before hand because heck, some of us hadn't eaten yet, and it's always a good place to go. You can never go wrong at Perkins. It was really funny cuz I had some slip ups with words... like for example... Condiments turned into Condoms. Sometimes, I don't know about myself. Well after the wonderful Perkins we found ourselves at Tuttles, and we played oh so many games! And hey Molly, you did good! I mean heck, you beat Adam! (who got a 21....heehhehehee) but I won't laugh at him for that. My best was like 106 or something, and Anna half the time beat Lee! You better watch out Lee! We then all headed back to Anna's house because we weren't tired, and I was NOT ready to call it a night! The night was still young as far as i was concerned. So how did we entertain ourselves? Well Anna has this Disney Scene-It game, and even though we played it totally wrong, I got super competitve, and it was a gay old time. Somewhere between bowling and the game, i got drunk hyper. If I drank, you woulda sworn I was beligerently drunk! hee hee! And when peopel get giggly, things just get more fun! We were trying to run through the HUGE LUV-SACs, and we were wearing side "pomies" and the quote: "and then it'll be like HEAD CROTCH! (motion to pulling my neck down" oh you so had to be there, but I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. WE were all enjoying ourselves so much. I couldn't of asked for a night like that. I love laughing so hard that you feel like your gonna pee yourself. It's such a happy/worry free thing. It's like being a little kid all over again. Of course, all good things must come to an end, like the evening.

But of course the fun continues! Friday I spent lounging around until I got a call from good ole Mr. Justin Robert Knapp! He was in town again, and we were waiting on Adam to get off his walk, but that took too long, so Nate and I met over at Melanie's house with Justin, and that's when....he fit his FEET into MY SHOES! It was so funny to see his feet in my teeny tiny little shoes! We all got a kick outta that! Well we all talked for a while, which is nice! I don't see Med too much, so it's always good to catch up! All of us did end up at Adam's though, and we watched Batman Begins. I had to say, I didn't think it'd be all that great, but it was! IT really was! Even Melanie enjoyed it and I think she was totally against it! She prob. tried NOT to like it! lol.

Saturday came, and I was out at 10:3o AM picking apples for the annual Apple Cider Making! Mmmmmmm! I love that Apple Cider! We make it at the Knaptons every year (this being my second) and we pick the apples from their orchard, wash them, cut the bad parts off, put them in the apple crusher thingy, and then squeeze out all the juice from them! It is seriously so fun, I want to have apple trees when I'm older just so I can make my own cider. It's such a like old tradition type thing. Why buy it when you can make your own?! lol. It is always fun! Even though it was freezing! Inbetween all this, one of my dear friends Sarah was in the Wizard of Oz play so Nate, Rachel, Anna, Anna's mom and sister, Kara, and I all went to watch her! It was nice to be back watching a Delano play. Anyway she did a terrific job; I was so proud of her. We all ended up back at Melanie's where we made more and more apple cider! Some of us missed Joe so we went to go visit him, and then Lee called saying he was having people over! This was good cuz we weren't sure what we were going to do! We didn't stay there long though... we all ended up at Applebees! Holly was working, so she waited on us... it was fun to have her working. Anyway, We were there for a long time just goofing around and laughing. By the end of the night we were drawing all over eachother, and oh yah! I cut Justin with a knife! Talk about being clumsy! I don't even remember what we all talked about it, but all I know is that every moment wiht my friends is so precious, I would never take a moment back.

This is one of many good moments where your heart just floats up to the heavens. So my mom wakes me up at 8:30 AM on Sunday to tell me I got a letter from Bethel Admissions on Saturday. I was like wow...rejection in the morning (for al who didn't know, I applied to Bethel University earlier this year because I was sorta told to and I figured, what the hey. I never told that many people because if I got rejected, I'd feel really bad about myself) anway... I proceed to open the letter, and the first words I read are: "congratulations! you have been accepted to....." OMG OMG OMG! ME, AMY VERGIN WAS ACCEPTED TO BETHEL UNIVERSITY! I never thought in a million years that I would get this oppurtunity. I have never felt smart enough for something like that. Seriously... I had talked myself out of thinking I could actually get in weeks ago! But this, wow. Either God really is pushing me to go, or I just got extremely lucky. I mean I have to figure some things out, but if everything works out, I'm going to Bethel Fall of 2006! Anyway, I brought it to church with me to show Anna, and when she read the first line she freaked out, and I started crying. OH it was such a good feeling. But of course all good things come to an end. I ended up telling Justin later that night, and let's just say it wasn't the reaction I was looking for. It really brought me down, I expected him to be one who was almost just as excited as Anna, but in turn, he was a little uneasy for some reasons. I let it get to me, and then after talking to a lot of my good friends, I realized it was Satan trying to work against me... he knows my true weak spots. So yah. I really have to pray about it, and I know God will lead me in the direction I must go to, but it would help if I could get everyone to pray for me. I'd hate to not listen to Him. Thanks guys.

Anyway, this week has been busy, lots of papers, lots of homework, and a lot of procrastinating going one. It was terrible. Now hopefully everything will calm down for a while. But I know, it's so incredibly long, and many have lost interest by now. I will try to write more another day so I don't have to make them so freaking long! Forgive me all!

Sister in Christ,
Amy <3
