GA 101: Intro to Gareth

Hey ya'll. My name's Gareth and I'm assuming that you're in my english class. If not then you must be one of those blog-addicts, and you need to step away from the computer and go do something outside - nevermind the hypothermia; it builds character.
Alright, the basics: I'm from Greenville, SC and went to Wade Hampton High School. I played football and soccer and was a co-editor of the newspaper. I came to Clemson as a mechanical engineer. I stayed in ME for 3 years including summers and 3 semesters of Co-op at TimkenUS Corporation. I enjoyed ME but knew I didn't want to actually be an engineer so I switched to a major in Business Management and a minor in engineering. Because of all this I'm in my 5th year and won't finish until next December ('07).
Along the way I've been involved in multiple intramural teams including the 06 Co-ed flag-football champions The Real Deal. I've also been involved in campus FCA (fellowship of christian athletes) as well as on staff with the athletics side of FCA. This past fall I played on the founding Clemson Club Football (read: full contact football vs. other schools, eg. UNC, Duke) team and earned all-conference honors as a linebacker. I've also been dating the same girl since high school and this past October I told her that I wanted her to be the only girl I ever dated. We're getting married in May, and I'm really excited.
The other things I love all involve the outdoors. I have a 1972 Jeepster Commando that I work on and take offroad. I love to hunt; deer are my favorite challenge. Fishing is a big release for me. I love to spend time flyfishing the Chattooga and Nantahala Rivers.
I assume that's enough info to qualify for my first blog. I hope to get to know a few of ya'll, and I hope we all get A's. I'll see you in class...
