Wow, Another Year.

Exciting things have been happening! 

April 14th-15, PLC took an amazing trip down to Kansas City! We went to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and had a fantastic lunch. The dining facilities were exquisite. Then we journeyed to the National World War I Museum. Both museums were intellectually stimulating and very enjoyable.

After that we headed to the  Marriott Kansas City Country Club Plaza hotel and checked in. The hotel rooms were spacious. I'm almost positive the beds were made from clouds. The hotel was beautiful.

That night we were given a thirty dollar gift card and told to go explore the Plaza. I certainly had fun walking around and talking with friends. Dinner was excellent as well. I enjoyed eating a delicious 18 dollar hamburger, which I must say was the best hamburger I have ever had the pleasure of tasting.

The next morning we arose to find we had not been targeted by dangerous storms. Yay! We each had a breakfast ticket and were treated to a delicious breakfast buffet. It was not the typical kind of continental breakfast of bagels with cream cheese and/or cereal. There was bagels with cream cheese and cereal, but that not the only option. We had eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, grits, hash browns, cinnamon rolls, bagels, muffin, cereal, fruit , and biscuits and gravy!! So much food!! We even had waiters. It was delicious. I want that breakfast every morning.

After our breakfast we checked out of the hotel and made our way to the Kansas City Royals baseball game! I must say I was impressed. I thought I would get bored, but I was very entertained. Unfortunately, the Indians beat up on the Royals. :(

We left the stadium and made our return home safe.

I believe this has been my most favorite trip so far.

Monday night on the 25th, we had a ceremony for the PLC graduating Seniors. It was a bitter sweet moment. The night went well and a lot of good times were had. Most of the new freshmen made the trip and it was exciting to meet them.

Today was our very last PLC class meeting for this semester and year. For our Seniors, it was their very last PLC class ever. Part of me is sad that things are ending, but another part of me is excited for the new things to come.

Our seniors are graduating, heading off to more school or into the real world. They will be the rare people who companies and businesses are enthusiastic to employ.

Another exciting prospect of bringing the year to a close is bring in the next President's Leadership Class. (Do I add another class after PLC? Sounds redundant, like Automatic Teller Machine machine.) I am very excited to usher in the freshmen and get to learn more about our new members!

I am very happy to be a part of this amazing program. We work hard but are also rewarded graciously. As our year closes I want to say thank you too everyone in PLC for making this year special. I will never forget it.

I would also like to thank Dr. Taylor and Stratton. They work diligently to ensure this program is successful and enjoyable for the members. We cannot thank you enough.

Joy-Lin, you better believe I wouldn't forget you! Thank you for helping us out and being our 'behind the scenes getting things done lady'. I'm not sure if that's the official title or not. Nevertheless, thank you!

Thank you too our fantastic president Megen Richardson, soon to be Rhine. You are close to my favorite president. You are probably right behind George Washington. He is some pretty stiff competition.

And thank you again everyone for getting things done this semester. We had a great Battle of the Band and RSU's Got Talent. We were active in our community and campus. PLC is looking good people. This could not have been done without everyone working together a team. Thanks guys!

Keep checking out the blog over the summer. I will be trying to make updates as often as possible.

Have a great summer and stay out of trouble you kids!

Has It Really Been a Month?

Time sure does fly when you are having fun. Or when you are in school. Those two are often associated.

Let's catch up with what's been going on.

  • We recently selected our finals for the upcoming freshmen class! Exciting!
  • We helped out with early enrollment and saw a huge group of students.
  • We have been active with community service.
  • We are having fun.
PLC has a lot coming up as well.

  • We are holding elections for our officer positions.
  • We are going to take a trip to Kansas City the 14th and 15th!!
  • We are having a banquet for our senior April 23rd.
  • A large group of PLC student is helping out with Relay for Life on April 27th-28th.
  • We are having PLC/Honors Olympics April 29th from 5:30 to 8:00pm.
So PLC has a full plate ahead of us and we are excited to take it on.

I personally am very excited to be taking a trip to Kansas City. We are going to visit a World War II museum, have a night on the town, and go see a baseball game. I am more than excited. I'm elated. I am elevated with elation. E-words everywhere.

Three weeks of school left. I can't help but to reflect on this last year. I will wait though, we are not done yet.

For all you hillcats out there, put in some hard work these last three weeks and finish strong. For everyone else, have a wonderful day!
