The first singing at our apartment, of the year, is scheduled for this Friday night 1/9 from 8-9pm! We hope you can ALL come!! 2009-01-08 http://www.pleonast.com/user/trefe_something?l=5&entryID=608337 hoping that Dr. Burton rounds the final grades up... being home in 12 hours... making through the last 2 finals of the semester... getting to read for fun w/o feeling guilty that I'm not doing homework... slaying the Epistles final in 23 minutes... finding something to eat before said final... Anyway, I have to keep studying...... Good luck on the rest of your finals, have a great break and catch up on all the sleep you missed over the last couple days! Don't forget to pray for everyone traveling in the next little while!! Love you all, Charlotte 2008-12-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/trefe_something?l=5&entryID=606272 Go check out their repective blogs. That is a recent update of my life. We have had some pretty interesting experiences lately. For instance, Caroline, Holly, and I carried a small futon couch across Rivercase last night around 11:45. And by carried, I don't mean the southern, drive it from here to there, I mean, we carried it with our bare hands to Jonathan's apartment. It was fun! 2 different guys/sets of guys offered help- one when we looked like cat burglers, trying to carry it down the stairs, and one set when we were carrying it down the street...they slowed down in their big red SUV and asked if we needed help. We told them "no, thank you, we're fine." and carried on. Tonight we decorated the apartment for Christmas. It looks lovely! Caroline and I had quite the experience hanging up lights around the walls...and then there is the ham story, but as I already said, check out her blog for that story. If you're in town you should come by the apartment. We woul... 2008-12-05 http://www.pleonast.com/user/trefe_something?l=5&entryID=600170 Well, it looks like this week is going to be another one of those where I am running around, with things to do back to back to back. That was how last week was. In ways, it's a good thing because I sure don't have time to be bored, and the week goes by extra fast, and that puts me that much closer to Thanksgiving break, and going home and seeing my family. On the other hand, I have 3 papers that I need to get written this week. One is due Friday, one on Monday, and one on the Monday we get back from break (but it is a really scary paper, so I want to have it done before I leave). Sooooo, in all the time that I'm not running around, I really need to be working on writing a paper of some kind. Good news: I leave for home for Thanksgiving break in 8 days!!!! Nikki is coming to visit me at home during Christmas break in 26 days!!!!!! Finals will be a thing of the past in 24 days!!!! I finish my SWOT project today!!!! Scary news: That means that everything I have to get done (pa... 2008-11-17 http://www.pleonast.com/user/trefe_something?l=5&entryID=591991 That is how long I have until I have to leave for campus. I'm excited about my schedule for next semester. But, at the same time, I'm a tad...ok, maybe more than just a tad, scared about Industrial/Organizational Psychology with Dr. Dickey. I never had general psych, and I've never had a 3 hour night class before. So, we'll see how it goes. I have got to stop getting so worried/stressed/worked up about my grades, and school in general. I have got to figure out that it is ok to do fun stuff, and to not always get the best grades...I definitely have not been getting the best grades this semester. I don't know what's going on. I can give the speech about how "in the end, the grades won't be what mattered, it will be the friendships that I formed, and the fun things that I did." I can give that speech all day long, but I am having trouble convincing myself of it. Wow, I am having extreme troubles typing this morning. I'm excited. Thanksgiving break is coming!!! I get... 2008-10-27 http://www.pleonast.com/user/trefe_something?l=5&entryID=587012 Today was the big day! The rumors were flying thick over the weekend and all morning...and I was hoping that it would be today because I was ridiculously tired, and didn't really want to go to class at all. The announcement was amazing in chapel...I wonder if Mr. Embry led "Think of the Home Over There" on purpose, or if it was a fluke. You should go download the podcast and listen to the elation that was oozing out of Hutchinson this morning. It was AMAZING! Kinda like asking day, but better because there wasn't any awkward asking going on! So, I got out of my 3 afternoon classes, although I did have to go to my 2 this morning...I also got out of 2 quizzes, and a whole bunch of reading that I was going to have to do between chapel and 1:00, so that was really nice. I got to help people move their stuff, which was fun. It is very interesting how much less stuff guys have than girls....hmmmmm. Just got back from a yummy lunch with a super fun group! All in all, havin... 2008-10-13 http://www.pleonast.com/user/trefe_something?l=5&entryID=583681 Well, the title is completely unrelated to the rest of the post, but it is something that I am curious to know the answer to, so if you know, please tell me! Thank you all SO much for your prayers on my families behalf while my dad's job situation was up in the air. We now have answers, and a resolution to the whole situation. My Dad was able to get onto a team that is being transferred to Massachusetts. So, in the spring, or possibly even June, of next year, my mom and dad will be moving to Massachusetts. My sister will stay in NC, and will carry on with her plans to go to a local community college there in the fall. I will be at home over the summer for an internship that I am hoping to get, or just working...whichever happens. So, I should be there when mom and dad actually leave to go up to New England. It is still hard for me to comprehend what is actually going to happen, and to think about the fact that my parents won't be there over the summer, or other times that I go... 2008-10-05 http://www.pleonast.com/user/trefe_something?l=5&entryID=576570 Yesterday morning, my mom called to tell me that my Dad's company was closing 95% of it's Charlotte office. People were either going to be let go, or get transferred to Massachusetts, Connecticut, or France. His meeting to let him know what would be happening to him was yesterday afternoon. My family had known about the Charlotte office closing for a little while now (I'm not sure how long), but they hadn't told me yet so that I wouldn't end up worrying about it when they didn't know anything at all; but since a decision was going to be made today, they went ahead and told me. I'm glad that they decided to wait to tell me, I think they made the right choice. Daddy's meeting was at 1:40 yesterday afternoon, and the ultimatum is that he will be losing his job in 60 days. He is welcome to apply for another job in the places that they are transferring people to, but he is not being transferred. Please pray for, me, my family, and especially my dad right now. There aren't that many ... 2008-09-17 http://www.pleonast.com/user/trefe_something?l=5&entryID=575809 Yes, I am sick with whatever plague has decided to make it's way across campus. So, I went to my first 2 classes, but I got excused and didn't go to my other 3 classes...it was good to just sleep, and then I went to McDonalds and appeased Whitney by eating. I have a test tomorrow. I haven't studied for it yet. I'm scared. I have a paper due on Wednesday. I haven't written it yet. I feel like such a slacker because I didn't really accomplish anything this weekend...although I did get my accounting homework done, go to 2 Bible studies, and recovered from the 3 tests on Friday. I'm getting burnt out on school already which is really bad because there are still 12 weeks of school left...which, now that I think about it, doesn't sound like that long. We are a fourth of the way there already! Oh dear, I'm getting discontent already...not good!!! Anyways, I should actually go study for the test tomorrow. Please pray that my sister will get the job that she had an interview for to... 2008-09-15 http://www.pleonast.com/user/trefe_something?l=5&entryID=574590 tonight!!!! you should come! 8:00pm, our apartment. If you don't know where we live, text or call me! Come, and bring your friends (or enemies, whatever, just bring ppl!) Gotta study for Job, and management. Have a great day. Thanks EVERYONE for all the encouragement that you've been to me this week. I'm sorry that I had such a bad attitude, thanks for all the cheering up, and cheering on that you all gave, in person, and on here. I love you all!! 2008-09-12
