Make a Name for Yourself!

Last night, I was at one of my very last Student Senate meetings as a Senator. At last night's meeting, we discussed the upcoming Student Senate elections; I couldn't help but to think back when I first ran for Student Senate.

Over my four years at Bluffton, I have stayed very busy with academics, work, hanging out with friends, and attending many meetings for various student organizations. As a student, I am very glad that Bluffton offers over 40 student organizations. It is through these organizations that you can fine tune your identity and make a name for yourself. Some advice that I have for you prospective students: find an organization that you want to be a part of and join it! Through the student organizations that you chose to be apart of, you will have the opportunity to meet many new people, experience many things for the first time, etc. While my experiences in student organizations here at Bluffton will all conclude within the next week, I will still continue to give 100% to these organizations as I can only show gratitude to them for making my Bluffton experience so great!

Beauty of Bluffton

Ha ha...I realized after I published my last blog that the one I published before it also had a title written in Spanish. I have decided to lay off the Spanish titles for a little while in case you can't read them. However, you never know when I will return to them. ;)

As I walked to work today, I was really reminded of the beauty on Bluffton's campus. Now, my walk was not all that sentimental, but I really did notice how neat Bluffton's campus is. I don't know, maybe its the fact that I am graduating in 5 weeks, but I am starting to see things in a different light.

The other night, when it was warm...and not cold (yes, it snowed here yesterday), I went on a walk with my girlfriend Jen. It was so nice to walk around the Village of Bluffton. It too is very pretty. I enjoy small towns and enjoy the community atmosphere that they provide. Now that I am graduating, I look back and wish that I would have taken more time to see the whole picture, to see the beauty not only of the campus, but of the Village of Bluffton as well. After graduation, I will truly miss this place, which I have made my home for the past four years.

Seis Semanas

Wow, only six weeks to go. I have five weeks of classes left and one week of finals. Honestly, I am glad that this semester is going by fast, but at the same time, I am not ready for my life as a college student to come to an end. Recently, I have had many people ask me what I plan on doing after college. My answer..."get a job." Ha ha...isn't that every college graduates plan? The question that has bothered me the most is if I am ready to graduate. Well, that question is a little bit trickier to answer than the first. Sure, I want to get a job, but I don't have a job. In all honesty, I am excited to graduate (it will definitely be a bitter-sweet moment), but if only I had a job, then I would really be excited about the new chapter in my life that is about to begin--life after college.

One nice thing about graduating is that I will not have any more papers to write (well, until grad school :) ). I turned in my last big research paper on Tuesday...17 pages. It felt good to get that one out of the way. Of course, I will still have some corrections to make on it as it was just the first draft that I turned in. And of course I still have five papers to write in the next 5 weeks (yikes!), but the baulk of my writing requirements are done! As a math and science person, writing is not a favorite of mine. Perhaps that explains my lack of blogs. :S

Yesterday I received information about May Day, Baccalaureate, and graduation. It really does not seem as if my four years at Bluffton are coming to end, very quickly I might add. One thing is for sure, I am going to live out the next six weeks here at Bluffton and enjoy every moment that comes my way.

Esta Bien!

Well, since I last wrote to you all, I enjoyed my last spring break as an undergraduate student, worked on hours of homwork, and ate supper at my cooperating teacher's house.

Spring break was good. This was the first year that I did not go to Florida for break. However, the weather was "warm" in Indiana and I was able to relax and hang out with my family and my friends who had spring break last week as well. I was able to get a lot of work accomplished over break. Although I really didn't feel like working on homework, I am glad now that I am back into my regular routine that I don't have to worry about as many projects anymore.

Last night I was able to go over to my cooperating teacher's house for supper. Two to three nights a week, he and his wife have college students over to their house for supper. Supper is always interesting...the food we are served is fancy, and not to mention delicious! It is always nice to go over there for dinner and hang out with Bluffton students. Usually I meet at least one new Bluffton student at dinners like that.
