Busy Busy Busy...

I have had a ton of things going on lately, which is why it has taken me so long to post. Last week I took my test and I did alright on it, I just hope the rest of the semester in my classes stay as smooth as they have been going so far.

Last Thursday was movie night at the boys' dorm room. We watched Strangers and it was soo scary, not to mention it was a true story! Then Friday night PLC had a booth at the Kiddie Carnival, we all got to dress up and see all the cute kids walk around! And yay.. I have pictures!

Then, later that even we went to eat McDonalds, which I hadn't had in FOREVER! Then, we went down the Trail of Terror. It would have been scary, but all of us were singing and yelling the whole time! haha... Then, Laura, Hope, Holly, and I went and terrorized the boys dorm. We mixed all their shoes up and then went and tagged Kaleb and Chad cars! Oh goodness it never gets old...

Saturday morning I woke up at like 7 A.M. for the Tulsa Run. It was freezing and wayy too early, luckily I was only doing the 2K, and we practically ran the whole way! haha.. After that we went to the Riverwalk for the BBQ festival tasting. It was amazing.. all the BBQ you can eat for $10! That evening I came back to Claremore to see David Boren, the President of OU, and hear him speak about the book of his that I read, "A Letter to America," he seemed really nice and brought up some very important points for our nation. Then, I went and saw Frankenstein and was so confused! I guess the only experience with Frankenstien I have had is seeing pictures, not actually knowing the story. It was still a great performance.

Yesterday I learned how to play Ultimate Frisbee... It's so much fun except I kept getting hurt :(

Next week is Homecoming Week... I can't wait!

Getting Back into Gear

Last week was Fall Break. Breaks are always bittersweet, it's nice to be off but always is worse when you come back. I had quite an eventful break so I had a good time, and didn't think about school once! On Thursday night a big group of us went to Tulsa and stood in like for an hour and a half or so for Nightmare. It was soo scary and it seemed like the people wanted to attack me the most! :( and then we ended the night at IHOP, which is always a great place for late night dinner.

Then, on Friday night I went to the Bishop Kelley vs. Skiatook game, and Kelley smothered Skiatook, it was kinda depressing because the final score was 44-0. I miss going to high school football games, and hopefully I get to go to a Union one before the seasons over!

Saturday was pretty lazy for me, I was toted around a lot running errands and things! haha.. But that evening I went to Oktoberfest with my sister and my boyfriend. We had a good time but only stayed for a couple of hours. Plenty of time to eat a bratwurst and a strawberry newburg.. yummy!! The bus ride was crazy to get there! Our driver almost drove off the road and was very loud! Oh well.. we all had a good time!

Sunday was pretty boring too I guess... went 4 wheeling for a little bit, but then just did some yard work and stuff. Needless to say I was definitely glad to be back here on Monday!

This week has been interesting so far, but in a good way. I started my new job on Monday and it is going great, the ladies I work with are really nice and the work is not difficult at all. Yesterday they sent me and Lindsay to the Mail room to pick up some of the new Spring Schedules for the office and when we got them, I realized I was on the cover. I couldn't believe it! haha.. All my friends are calling me goofy names now, but its pretty cool!

Well I have a big test tomorrow in Physiology, so I'm going to go study, wish me luck!

Finally a Break!!

It's been a busy week with PLC, we are trying to get our fundraising going, as well as our community service events, plus we have kiddie carnival, shopping cart parade, homecoming, trail of terror, and our float for the Claremore parade. We are trying to put everything together and it's quite stressful. At least we have gotten some of the planning done, which definitely helps when it comes to not being complete procrastinators! Hopefully we can get some things changed for next year at least!!

Mid terms were this week and last week. I did well on last weeks, but we will see how I did on today's when I get them back! haha... I studied, but I think luck has something to do with it to, whether you studied the right stuff or not! It will definitely be nice to have a couple of extra days off to relax though! Plus, a couple of my classes have been letting us out early this week and one of my labs was cancelled completely. I hope this doesn't mean they are being nice now so they can torture us later! haha..

Lots of events have been happening on campus this week, a blood drive was today, alcohol awareness day was monday, and our constitution day luncheon is tomorrow. PLC gets to go meet Governor Keating and take a picture with him.

Break is this week, so hopefully I will have lots of stories when I get back. And hopefully I can talk Holly into uploading some of our pictures, since I am still without a computer! :(

Even More Projects and Excitement! :)

Last week, was pretty boring for the first part of it, I think the most exciting thing was that my roommate, me, and Monique stayed up til 1 making picture frames and magnets on Tuesday! haha.. Then the fun began... Thursday afternoon myself plus about 12 other PLC members got the chance to go an Oklahoma Leadership Retreat in Tulsa. It was a ton of fun, we were able to listen to quite a few guest speakers and got a chance to meet other leaders from colleges around Oklahoma. The mixer that night was a little lame, everytime the RSU students would start dancing, no one else would join, they just looked at us! haha.. so we went on a downtown adventure. Then, we went for a late night snack to IHOP... oh goodness, the times at IHOP! The following day we went to three workshops, which for the most part were pretty interesting and gave us all some great ideas that we want to implement here on campus! The retreat was very beneficial and we all, I think, had a great time! And yay i finally got some pictures from the retreat up!!!

I had to work this weekend at Linens N Things again, but this weekend was my last until the holiday season and hopefully it wont be too bad then either. I'm applying for a position here on campus in the Campus Learning Department, or something, I will be finding out more about it soon, so hopefully I will get that chance. It would be nice to walk to work and not waste the gas! So I attempted the fair again on Sunday and got a ride pass, but only rode like 3 rides. I guess the day ride pass made Sunday a popular day because all the lines for the rides were outrageously long! Also, the prices for food were absolutely astounding! I couldn't believe it.. a shishkabob with about 6 small pieces of meat on it was $7!! Thats crazy! But it was still a lot of fun!

As far as school goes, I have a little bit of down time as far as tests go! I ended up making good grades on all my tests on the last go around of test taking. I hope I will be able to do that same thing again! Also, I have a big speech tomorrow over energy drinks, so hopefully that goes well! Wish me luck...
