Thank God for Easter! what a relief this weekend has been. after a hard week at school this Easter weekend was definitely needed and it took a lot of stress off of my shoulders. Being able to go home this weekend and see the family and camp out with friends was a lot of fun. It is always good to be able to go home and see family and friends especially when you haven't seen some of your friends for a very long time. Being able to hang out with my brothers and sister and have some alone time with my mom and dad was a lot of fun. Me and my little brother, Todd, who is 13 played a lot of basketball and tennis this weekend. I just love playing sports with my little brother and being able to watch him grow up has been such a joy

Another easy week behind me and another hard week ahead of me. When is this ever going to end? Hopefully in about four weeks all this will end for the summer. I cant believe how close it is to summer time. im so ready to be out and have my freshman year behind me. i just gotta stay the course and finish strong. Wish Me Luck!

This week has been such an easier week for me. I havent had anything to do hardly which can be a good thing or a bad thing. School is going great but i cant wait for the summer to come around the corner. Only one month left of my freshman year in college. What a relief, but for now i just need to stay focused and finish strong and hope that God will help me through the rest of the semester.

Spring Break has just ended and its time to get back to work. This week is going to be a pain in the butt because i have so much work to do. I have a Chemistry test on Tuesday, a Biology Lab Report due on Wednesday, a Packaging Science test on Wednesday, and a paper due on Thursday so i have my work cut out for me. I'm glad that I had a great time on Spring Break and that no one got in trouble or anybody got hurt but it just stinks that its over and that we have to get back to work but we only have one more month left of school so that is something to look forward to.

This weekend i was able to go on a skiing trip to Winterplace, West Virginia with my church from back in Spartanburg. Normally i'm used to skiing out west in places like montana, utah, and colorado, but i have never skied on the east coast so it was quite an experience for me. Snow skiing isnt much different where you go its just the amount of snow that you ski on or the number of slopes and the quality of slopes that there are at the resort. Out west there are up to 100 slopes on some mountains but on the east coast there are only like 20 slopes on a mountain so you are kinda limited to how many different slopes you can ski on. Besides the fact that the snow wasnt that great, we were still able to ski in snowy weather on sunday morning and wake up to a white morning on sunday so that was a lot of fun. Snow skiing is one of my favorite sports and so i love being able to go on a mountain and ski and not have to worry about what else is going on in life except the fact that im having the time of my life. Skiing is a stress reliever for me and i have had some of the best times in my life while skiing

As each week begins to go by and another week begins, I'm beginning to see how fast college really does go by and that before i know it, my college career is going to be behind and I'm going to be in the real life with a job and a spouse and kids hopefully one day down the road. I went home this weekend and each time I go home i begin to see how fast my brothers and sister are growing up and it kind of saddens me because I know that one day I'm going to be off in the real world and they aren't going to be around that much anymore and it's really sad to think about but when I go home and visit my family I get to see how much they miss me and how excited they are to see me when i do come home to visit and it's just an uplifting joy to receive a hug from my family when i get to see them and i just love seeing them because they just put a huge smile on my face. My sister is in the 9th grade and i got to see her swim this weekend and it just puts a huge smile on my face when i get to see her swim and get to see her win her events and just how excited she is to have a family that is there for her to watch her and support her as much as my family does. It was just a blessing to be able to see her win and give all her glory to God who has given her the talent to be able to exceed as much as she does when she does swim. Im just so proud of her and i love her very much!

what a much easier week this is going to be. i am finally done with my chemistry and biology tests and i don't have any tests this week. all i have to do this week is begin to prepare for my packaging science 102 exam next monday and finish my paper and begin to work on my preliminary lab report which is due by friday. hopefully ill be able to complete everything on time this week so i dont get behing on anything. i can't wait for Valentine's weekend cause i get to go home and relax all weekend and not do much of anything except to review for my packaging science test. thank you for easy weekends and easier weeks

Wow what an overwhelming week that this is going to be. I have two tests this week and i just found out that my english paper is completely wrong for the most part so i have to re-do that and i have to study for Chemistry which is tomorrow and Biology which is Thursday. I just wish this week would be over with very quickly so that next week will get here cause i would feel a whole lot better if that happened but unfortunately I have to go through each and everyday. If i get through this week then ill be fine but i just have to get through this week cause its a very difficult week.

As tests begin to pile up its been rather difficult trying to stay on top of things and to make sure that I get all my work done as well as study for all the classes that I'm taking this semester. It's going to be a tough week ahead of me because I have two tests next week and a paper that's going to be due but I just have to make sure that I get my priorities straight and that I stay on top of my studies. Chemistry has been a pain in the butt because the teacher that I doesn't do a good job of teaching the material to the class, rather it seems that he enjoys teaching the material to the blackboard so it's really difficult to understand what he's saying sometimes even though it's my job to make sure that I'm studying all the material everyday so that I know what's going on in class. Biology is going to be pretty difficult as well only because there is so much material but the material is really interesting and pretty easy to follow, I just need to make sure that I know what's going on and that I don't stress too much about the material.

this weekend i went to Georgia with some friends to hang out with some coastal carolina people. we had a good time meeting new people and being able to associate with other people and just being able to be away from the whole school stress. school just puts a load of stress on me and i need to be able to escape that stress by going out of town and not having to worry about any homework or any school stress in general. Thursday im going to the Rascal Flatts concert at the BiLo center with some friends to have a good time with them so that should be a lot of fun.

The first few weeks of the second semester have been very interesting. It's been a little difficult trying to get back into the routine of going to new classes and having new teachers and new students in all the classes but its also been very good. Its been good because i get to meet new people and become friends with different types of people. I hope that this semester goes very well and that everything works out and that Im able to balance all my studies along with having fun and going to class everyday.
