The new start for PLC!

Last week, PLC found out some unfortunate news which was that there were a few people who did not think we should be considered an organization within SGA. This was rather shocking to all of the members and we have now began to kick it into high gear. Each of us are coming up with great new ways to have a high student involvement and plan some great events for all the students to enjoy. Some of the ideas are a little wacky, but I hope that we are able to make them happen so that we lead other students by the activities we put on.

I began working in Tulsa last week and that is sadly not going to last long. There is too much of a drive for what they are offering me. My friend is trying to help me get a job on campus, so I hope everything with that works out! I wish money could just appear cause its too much to worry about with school and friends! haha...

Campus wide capture the flag was last week and I wanted to go really bad, but my roommates all left town and I thought the boys backed out until I drove by and saw them playing! What a disappointment! haha... they will just have to remember that revenge can be rather brutle! just kidding..

I went to the Tulsa State fair this weekend. The funnel cakes were amazing, but I didn't ride any rides. I think we are going back this weekend and we will ride some then. We went to the barn and saw all the cows, coming from someone who didn't grow up around farm animals those cows were gigantic!! We also went around to all the booths and saw what everyone was selling. I haven't been to the fair in about 11 years, so it was a lot of fun for me, but I bet next weekend will be better!

This weekend is the Leadership Convention, which I am going to with a couple of the other PLC officers. I am pretty excited about it we are all staying the night in Tulsa and its going to be a blast. Next post I'm sure I will have lots of stories and pictures to share!

Do I have to get a job?

It is now over a month into the semester and I still am without a job. I tried out a tanning place, but it wasn't as flexible as I was needing, and I ended up staying up until like 3 in the morning finishing my homework because I got home so late. I went back to my old job and asked them if they needed any help and they took my right in. The only bad thing is that it is all the way in Tulsa. Seeing as how it is not the highest paying job I will see how long I will last having to pay for gas and everything. I really like not having to have one because I can get all my homework done and still have plenty of time to have fun and do the activities on campus. So this week will probably be pretty exhausting.

Last week was pretty tame, the most exciting thing I participated in was FCA on Thursday night. We had hot dogs, had a spirit contest and got all pumped for the soccer game that night. Then, we went to the soccer game and welcomed on the boys onto the field where they won the game 3-0. After the game, Holly, Matt, Kaleb, and I headed over to the casino for RSU night, but none of us won! :( Later on we had a movie night and watched a really weird movie, but I definitely stayed up way to late for having class at 9 the next day!

The weekend went well too, I ventured to Stillwater for my best friends birthday, but since there wasn't a game this weekend it wasn't very exciting! Then, on Saturday I went to Skiatook to the Pioneer Day Parade, where we went to a car show, went 4 wheeling, and then watched Travis Kidd and watched fireworks! I guess I was really worn out because I slept a bunch on Sunday, but I was able to get all my laundry done! haha.. The fair is coming up, I'm getting excited because I haven't been in forever! Lets just hope I don't have to work constantly!

Cramming for time...

This past week was pretty calm. Test time has finally come, and I'm not enjoying it at all! I had my psychology test last Thursday. It didn't seem to bad, but I haven't seen my grade yet. I have a huge Anatomy test on Wednesday, so I have been studying like crazy for that. Then, I also have a Nutrition test on Thursday, which I need to begin studying for. Hopefully after this attack of tests I'll be able to relax for a little bit before my next group of tests!

Last week my roommate and I hit the gym for the first time this semester. It was definitely needed after all the pizza we had at the FCA laundry night! The rec center is really nice here, and it wasn't too torturous. Hopefully I'll be able to talk her into going with me again. We also were able to finish all of Season 4 of the Office, so we are ready for the new season to come on September 25!

The weekend went well also, Friday I went to my parents house for a cookout while we watched the Jenks vs. Union game. I graduated from Union, so I was glad to see them do a little better this week! Then, Saturday I got to see OSU win and then went to an OU football party that night and watched OU win. It was a pretty exciting weekend, but I must say I'm a little tired of football at this point! Next weekend I'm going to a parade, so that will be a nice relief from all the football games!

I'm going crazy because I have all this homework and things to do and my computer shut down yesterday. It's amazing how much items are taken for granted until you cannot use them anymore. I really hope it can be fixed without sending it in! Well until next time.. later!

A great start to my college experience

So far the past two weeks have been pretty exciting. It started out last Wednesday when I was elected for Freshman Representative in President's Leadership Class. Also, now that I am an officer, I get the opportunity to go to a Leadership Convention in Tulsa with some other people from the class. I am really looking forward to it, and hope it will be as much fun as the ones I went to in high school.

Classes haven't been going to badly, atleast not yet. This semester I am enrolled in Speech, Intro to Psychology, Nutrition, PLC, Dosage Calculations, and Anatomy and Physiology. I have yet to have a test, which means here in the next couple weeks I will probably have a ton of them! My goal is to apply to the nursing program in the spring and be admitted next fall, so I am really trying to do well in all of my classes so that I won't have any problems getting in.

Despite the bad weather it has been a pretty fun week. I took advantage of the $1 bowling on Wednesday and had a lot of fun, even though I didn't do so well! There was a lot of RSU students there, and I was surprised that I hadn't heard about it before this week! Then, on Thursday we ventured over to Oolagah High School and watched the Oolagah vs. Claremore football game. The snocones, although were not nearly as good as Josh's Sno Shacks, made the night all the more amazing, and the ride home put the icing on the cake... we'll just say I partially lost my voice that night! haha.. Claremore won, which some of my friends graduated from Oolagah, so it was kind of a bummer, but we still had a good time.







This week it was kind of raining and my advice to everyone is make sure you have a steardy umbrella, mine fell apart the first time I used it! That was not a good day! It's starting to get cool, but hopefully we will still have a little time to spend at the volleyball court and possibly the pool before it gets too cold.
