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.
Later On,

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.
Later Guys,
Majka

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

My Life 3

This week was pretty much the same as any other for me during the weekdays. Had classes, a test, labs, and homework that all needed my attention. On Tuesday I did go downtown with my friend to a sorority mixer, but that was pretty basic. Thursday night should have been a good night for me to start the weekend off with, however Clemson decided to give G Tech 24 free points before actually showing up to play football. The weekend was much better though. This weekend was my fraternity's mountain weekend, and I had a blast. We enjoyed things like hiking, zip lines, kayaking, swimming, fishing, tubing, live music, bonfires, and much more. That really was a nice break from the normal grind of school work. The only small problem that happened was that my friend Josh, whom I live with, lost his keys. So, Sunday night after we got back to Clemson I had to drive him back to Camp Wayfarer so that he could bring his car home with his spare. That is how my week has been this time.

My Life 2

Another week has passed, and accordingly a lot more has happened to me in life. The week was my first week were I had all my labs for classes and had to go to every lab. Being sick took a lot out of me and made the week pretty slow by only going to class, doing homework, and then sleeping as much as I could. However by Thursday I was feeling pretty good and went downtown with some friends to have a few beers and watch Doug McCormick play at the bar. Doug was good as usual and the people were friendly as usual. Friday I did some work around the yard at the house I am living at, and just took it easy at night. Saturday I headed into campus early at about noon in order to start tailgating with my fraternity on the quad. Got to watch some of my favorite football team, U of M, beat Western and then headed to the Clemson game. Had a good time there as usual and the weather was really nice for the first half. After the game we had a party out at our house to celebrate the victory. Today, Sunday, I did some more yard work around the house and looked at some homework I have due this week. That's all for now, later.

My LIfe 1

So since Clemson has gotten back underway I have been really busy. Definitely in some really hard classes this semester like PKGSC 404 and 430 along with Organic Chem and the three subsequent labs that go with them. On top of the heavy work load for classes my fraternity has been going though rush week and getting new associate members, along with initiating the last batch of guys. Then just when i thought I was going to get some free time to start getting all my classes in order my computer decided to stop working and I got a pretty bad cold. Well, the computer has been fixed but my body is still running at half speed. As I try to keep up with all my school work and fraternity oblications, football season hits and this weekend is our first game between Mid Tenn. State. I think it will be a pretty east game and look forward to the tailgating and post game celebration. Hopefully I don't get to distracted this weekend though and can buckle down Sunday and Monday to get all my work and studying done.
