My Life 13

So this week has been extremely busy. It is almost like I have two exam weeks in a row. I have to compile all my organic chemistry labs to turn in, which means going back and writing up all the procedures then copying over all the other notes I have. Along with that I had a big homework for another class due, which took 2 hours. Then had half of a take home exam due that took almost 7 hours of straight working to get done. Had the exam for my tech writing class this week, have to go and get drug testing in Seneca for my co-op, and have to study for my 430 exam that I am taking Friday just so I can focus on my packaging 404 exam and organic chemistry exam that I have next week. Not to mention that one is at 8 AM which means I'll be half asleep and the other is on Friday, that last day for exams, and is at 7 PM. Oh and I had to do a lab report that was due this past Tuesday, all this after Thanksgiving break. Do teacher really expect us to do work over our breaks, cause it sounds like we do more than enough work while we are actually here.

My Life 12

Well guys, my life right now is not going so well. I woke up to a rather surprising email the other morning from one of my instructors. It was claiming that I and another student had been submitting homeworks that looked very similar and that we needed to come in and talk to the instructor about cheating. This was very surprising to me, because for one I have never cheated as my sometimes poor grades reflect haha, and two of course our work will look the same. Everyone in the classes work should have looked the same cause we all used the same data to answer the questions, form graphs, and make charts. I sent an email back explaining to the professor that this other student and I have always taken the same courses together and have always been partners for projects and have always worked together and helped each other out. The instructor has yet to respond, which is confusing to me seeing as how alligations of cheating should be taken very seriously. Lets hope it all works out and as usual, later on.

My LIfe 11

This week was very good for my school. This is because Clemson has won enough games this season to go to the ACC championship in Tampa Bay. However this week was also very long. That is because my fraternity had to send our associate members through pre-initiation week. It makes it a long week because there is a lot of work to do for the brothers to make sure the associates are ready for initiation. There was only one test to be taken this week though so that was not to bad. It is also good that it think I did well on this test because I needed to get some good grades in before this semester was over. This semester's grades are not the best I've had. Actually they might very easily be the worst I have ever had. Thinking I'm on track to get a D a C a B and an A. That means that next semester I'm basically going to have to make straight A's to keep my scholarships. Hopefully we will win againist USC this weekend and cap off what should be a great Thanksgiving break. Thats all for now.

My Life 10

So last week was pretty rough. I woke up Tuesday morning after feeling fine all weekend and my throat hurt. I figured it was just from breathing in the cold air all night cause the heat was turned off, however after a day of it bothering me I went to Redfern. On Wednesday I found out that I had strep throat, and had no idea how I had gotten it. So for the rest of the week I basically had to get as much sleep as I could and put off my work. Now, as this week is starting I am behind the proverbial eight ball. I have two lab reports to get done, a very big homework assignment, and an organic chemistry test tomorrow morning at 8 A.M. Looks like it is oing to be a great week, and to cap it off I had to cancell on my semiformal date, and might miss our mixer on Wednesday night because I have a very important test Tuesday morning that I must do really well on. So I hope everything works out this week and this sickness that I had doesn't ruin another week for me. Thats all for now.

My Life 9

This week and weekend was a very good. The school week was not that hard except for a 430 test I had on Thursday. The weekend though, was when all my fun really took place. On Friday I kind of just took it easy and relaxed. However, on Saturday things got a little out of hand. The game as usual was in horrible rainy weather. The good news, is that Clemson still managed to win the game. That night to celebrate the win and the holiday, Halloween, we had a huge fraternity party at the house I live in. It was a dress up party and everyone wore a costume. I happened to be a smurf and decided to paint my entire body blue and wear white shorts. The best thing about the party though was that we got an actually DJ to play music for this party. The DJ did a great job and everyone was dancing the entire time. Sunday I just relaxed again and went to go talk to the sorority I'm working with for our philanthropy event. On Sunday we managed to collect 300 cans in just one day for the North American Canned Food Drive. Thats all for now.
Later on,

My LIfe 8

This week is another good week for me so far. Again I had come of my classes canceled. That meant that I now had no classes on Monday and only had one classes on Tuesday. Today is Wednesday of this week and it is still going well. I have a test on Thursday, but that isn't really that bad because I have all day to study today with nothing else due tomorrow. I do need to do well on this test though because my average test grade for this class is kinda low. I think I can do well this time though because it seems like I remember alot more of what was taught this time around because I wasn't so tired during this classes lectures. For some reason at the start of the semester I was always very tired. I think it is because I man the executive decision to no longer attend my 8 A.M. Organic Chemistry class. I feel as though I get the same amount of knowledge and understanding out of the class from reading the very expensive text book they made us purchase as I would from actually going to this class. That is all for now.

My LIfe 7

Last week was a good week for me. Alot of my classes were cancelled due to teachers having to go to conferences. So because the class was canceled the lab was also canceled, which was very nice. Along with that, another one of my teacher's was sick on the day I had one of his classes so that class was canceled too. However, the lab for that calss was not canceled because there was a TA present. On Friday, myself and a few other brothers took our pledges out for a bonding activity. The trip was to the Pisgah National Forest, and we were going to camp up there. The only problem was that when we first got there it was raining so hard we actually had to move camping sites. Once we got to our new camping site, the rain had let up a little bit and we were able to get tents up. Starting the fire was a problem though. Everything was very wet, so it was a good thing we packed in our own wood. Once we had a tarp over the fire it started burning really well and we were all able to dry off and warm up. I didn't have to worry about being wet when I slept though because I had all my gear packed inside waterproof bags. Thats all for now.
Later Guys,
