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.

My Life 6

So I am finally down with all my midterms, and it feels like a great weight lifted off my shoulders. I think I did very well on all my tests, and hope that that turns out to be the case. The concert my brother and I attended last night in Atlanta, GA was amazing as well. The band was great and the special effects were amazing. At one point in the show the drummer's stage actually started to rise up into the air and spin around during his solo. Apart from that, yesterday Campbell's contacted me about a co-op job, and I know now I will be headed to New Jersey for the months of June to December. I am happy that I got a spring co-op now because those months will be beautiful up north, and not nearly as harsh as if I was to be there in the fall. On another note, tomorrow I leave for my backpacking trip that my friends and I have been planning for the last week. We will be headed to the state of North Carolina and into the Middle Prong Wilderness. The trails are supposed to be very challenging, and very void of human life. Not even Rangers go back there to maintain the trails. I love the outdoors and a great challenge such as this one to really take a break from the hustle of college life here in Clemson, SC.

My LIfe 5

So this week so far has been pretty packed. It is midterm week, and I have done two of my tests so far. I think that I did pretty well on both of the tests, organic chem and PKGSC 430. Still have to take a PKGSC 404 test, which is Mechanical Physics of Transportation. Just as the name sounds, it is a hard class, however I just meet with my professor and was able to talk about the mistakes I made on the first test in hopes that I can do well on the midterm. The only real problem I forsee in studying for this test is that tonight, the night before the exam, I will be headed to Atlanta. While this may look like a mistake it is unavoidable. My older brother and I decided to go to this concert way back in July and it would have worked out, but the concert was moved from last week to this week for some reason. So even though I have a test I am not gonna miss come quality time with my older brother and a great band, Blink 182. I started studying yesterday and have been going over notes during my breaks between classes as well as meeting with my professor, as stated previously. I hope it all works out because the test will probably be pretty hard.

My Life 4

Hey guys, so I haven't made a post in about two weeks. Sorry for those who follow me ( I'm sure it is still none though haha). Lets see, I've been keeping very busy lately with school work and my social life. Along with all that though, and the main reason I forgot to blog, was because last week my school had Co-op interviews. My major here at Clemson University requires that I complete one six month co-op before I can graduate. Some of the companies that came to the Packaging Science Department were Campbell's, Cadbury, Kraft Foods, Smith & Nephew, P & O, and many more. However, there were only about 16 open spots and 27 students gong out to get a co-op. So far I have not heard back, but I will remain optamitic unitl I have heard that all companies have filled there alotted spots. I thought I did pretty well in all my interviews, so it could still happen. Anyway, this week is midterm week so I have alot of studying to do.
Later On for Now,
Majka
