Remember, Remember, September, September.

Good afternoon ladies and gents.

I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather we have been having. I think we may have made a break from the triple digits, but this is Oklahoma after all so no guarantees.

I also hope everyone takes some time to reflect on what happened 11 years ago this day.

Two weeks ago on the 29th of August, PLC had a guest speaker, Clayton Taylor. This man is a Oklahoman who came from the small town of Oktaha to accomplish much in his career. Clayton Taylor was a fantastic speaker and someone that I could see enjoyed life. His advice for us was to set goals, short term and long term. A big thank you to Clayton Taylor for taking the time to speak with us.

This last week Stratton told us he will not be here the upcoming two weeks so we received our assignments ahead of time. In case you forgot, I'll put them right here courtesy of Kylie Hardin once again.

Assignment due Sept. 12=

 "You are Bud Selig- decide whether or not Barry Bonds' home run record should stand."

Assignment due Sept. 19= 

"Google 'Atul Gawande'. He is a doctor who writes for the New Yorker. Read his article 'Cheesecake Factory'-Write what you think of it and how it will affect you either in your career (if you are going into a medical career) or as a patient (if you are not going into a medical career)."

There is also an opportunity to skip the Sept 19th assignment by attending the RSU  Constitution Day luncheon and speech. Or maybe it's one or the other. Just make sure you prove you were there. No Tom Foolery!

I hope everyone is taking opportunity of the volunteer jobs popping up. I saw a lot of PLC cats at the Bluegrass and Chili festival: that made me extremely happy. It's good for our program to have a presence as events like that and I believe we were represented very well. So thank you to the ones who volunteered. 

We have a tentative date for Battle of the Bands! November 13th! I am very pumped for this event. We always have a lot of fantastic acts and we definitely have a lot of fun. Be thinking about ideas for this years BotB!

Well I believe this will do it for today. Tomorrow is Wednesday so I am going to post after our class and hopefully get on a regular schedule. Keep up with your schoolwork and obligations. But also remember to relax and  have fun along the way!
