Wow

Though this seems to have happened a lot recently I find myself saying again, sorry for the delay in blogging. I am pretty sure my excuse this time is a lot better then any other excuse out there: I was having an organ removed! Yes, I believe in my last blog I told you about my trip to the Emergency Room. Since then I'm very happy to say I have had my gallbladder removed and everything is now great. I missed a few days of class but I am already caught up!

That being said, I find myself a bit in a state of shock. It is May Term-- the month long third semester in Transy's schedule where you have the same class everyday. While this may sound scary, it really isn't. May Term classes tend to be extremely fun and interesting. I am in a class called "The Model UN." Right now we are learning about the UN, but in a couple of weeks we will be simulating as if we were the UN Security Council.

May Term seems to be a great way to wind down from an intense year of learning. I really can't believe my first year of college is coming to a close. The transition from life at home and in high school to life on a college campus really has been seamless. It only reaffirms for me that I made the right choice when deciding to come to Transy.

Speaking of choices, May 1st has come and gone, which means you have made your college decision (at least if you are adhering to the national deadline...)! Congratulations on whatever choice you made, and if you did decide to come to Transy, I can't wait to see you and welcome you to your new home! Now that the stress of the college search process is over you can relax and enjoy the last few weeks of your high school career!

I feel the need to somehow montage this past year of my life; my first year in college. It really can't be done, though. As typical as it may sound, so many changes have occurred. I discovered a completely new interest and talent while working for our student newspaper, the Rambler. BTW- I will be serving as News Editor next year, I'm SO excited! I've made new friends, learned to do laundry, transitioned to a more healthy lifestyle, and somewhere along the way I learned a bit from some intelligent professors too. So much has happened in such short amount of time, I look forward and can hardly fathom what I will be like three years from now when I prepare to graduate. I know that things will continue to change, for the better, and it is just bizarre to think about.

Anyway, enough of that. Though this blog is coming to a close soon (Sad, I know) I can promise you I will update again soon; I want to share with you all my summer plans!

Until Then,

Jake
