10 on Tuesday

1. I had a very nice weekend. I ended up going to Tevis's house on Saturday night for supper & a movie. It was great getting to spend some time with him since we really haven't spent much time together in the past few weeks. However, just before I was getting ready to leave, the storm starting rolling in, and it was decided that it would be in my best interest to stay in town. I ended up sleeping on the couch at his house, which was much better than possibly getting blown away while driving home. Thankfully, the storms spared us any damage, but Woodward wasn't so lucky. My thought & prayers go out to everyone affected by the storms.

2. Yesterday, the Literature Club had a bake sake. We decided that we needed a fundraiser, because we are in the process of starting a student lending library here on campus. We began with an insane amount of food, ranging from cookies to conchas (a Mexican sweet bread that is beyond amazing!). At the end of the sale we ended up with $99, and quite a bit of leftovers. We decided that we would bring the food back out for one more day, but make everything half-price since it was day-old goods. We sold for a shorter amount of time today, but we still sold quite a bit. After taking out some administrative costs, we ended up with a profit of $88, which is still pretty amazing, in my opinion! I am proud of us and all that we have accomplished, and I can't wait for next year, as I will be the club president.

3. Last night, PLC had one last hurrah with the Tonkawa group at Kaw Lake, where the college apparently has a tract of land. Who knew? No one was overwhelmingly excited to go, mostly for the fact that a few people had to take an early final today. Also, it was a long drive and the Tonkawa people aren't very endearing to us for reasons that are irrelevant. Through all of it, we enjoyed some beautiful scenery, a windless evening, (How lucky is that in Oklahoma?!) and a nice supper. After eating supper, we socialized for a short while before we decided that we had made an adequate appearance, and returned home. Honestly, it wasn't that bad, but even so, we made it through.

4. Speaking of PLC, we get to go to OKC on Friday for our annual trip. We were originally supposed to go to Dallas for the weekend, but those plans didn't quite pan out. Now, we get to do Segway tours in Bricktown and have a meal at Cattlemen's, which should be fun in itself; I am pretty excited about this, to be honest!

5. Calculus is almost over! We are currently on our last section, and I really comprehend it! After the nightmare better known as last chapter, this is a welcome relief. Also, I am still working on studying for the final, because I'm sure that I won't be able to remember everything at the last second. We are almost at the end of the road for that, so I am excited!

6. I think that Tonisha & I (and possibly Mary) will be going to see "The Lucky One" this weekend in theaters. Toe & I have both read the book & are hoping not to be too terribly disappointed with the adaptation. It will be the first time that I will actually go see a movie on opening weekend, instead of waiting around until it is almost out of theaters, so this could be interesting!

7. I have one more speech to write for speech class. It is supposed to be a special occasion speech, and can be for any special occasion. I am fairly certain I know what I will be talking about, but I haven't quite got all of the details nailed down. I'm sure that it will turn out just fine.

8. I think that I may have found a roommate for next year, and I am pretty excited about this. She went to Pioneer for a short while in junior high, and she was a friend of mine during that time. By a twist of fate, she will be a part of PLC next year, and, thanks to a Facebook post, we became reunited and we're thinking about rooming next year, so here's hoping that that will go well!

9. For some fun with YouTube videos, here is my new favorite commercial, courtesy of Nike Free Run shoes. Although I sympathize for the guy in the video, I still love it!

10. One more fun YouTube video comes courtesy of Hennessey High School. I'm sure that you may have heard about it on the news, for all of you who are local, but if you haven't, you should see it. Earlier this semester, their high school performed a play adaptation of "Footloose". They decided to revive some of their choreography by taking to Highway 81 and dancing to the song for their prom last weekend. I love it!!!
