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...

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!
