Hello World

Hello World!

Ya, I know such a wide greeting seems pretty lame, but hey, most of the time the first kind of program a computer science major will write will print out to the masses, “Hello World!” So we’re starting off in a like manor for this here blog about my life at Transy. Pretty obviously, I am a Computer Science major, but before you put on your judging hats, pause for un momento por favor. Not only am I a lowly CS major but tambien I am a Spanish major. Yes, yes I know two things that are seemingly unrelated, but you’ve never been inside my head and there these two walk together hand and hand. To go along with those two I also like to stir in music, drama, politics, and religion to my life busy, exciting, and balanced.

Ok, so how about I back it up a little… I’m from Indianapolis, where I’ve lived my entire life; when I’m there I live with my mom, my dad, and either one or both of my sisters. I’m the middle child and we have seven cats, a dog, and we board two horses, aka we moved out of the city and now live in an old farm house, so don’t let that fool you. I’m 100% an inner-city kid. Transy is my first affair with private education, and don’t

tell public I said this, but I think I’ve fallen in love.

(Oh Hot Darn, That's our Barn! ->)

Transy is everything that I was looking for in a school and more. Little school, meets big(ish) city, meets liberal arts; I’ve died and gone to heaven. I can major in Spanish and Computer Science while I continue my passion for music in choir and stay active in campus political groups and stay sane with help from the Disciples on Campus. It sure feels good to be a gangsta. And this coming weekend I’m going to try to broaden my juggling act by going through Girl’s Recruitment for Greek Life. Eek!

As long as I can remember, I’ve always said I’d never been in a sorority, but somehow, Transy seems different. Last year, as the bull headed First year I was, I refused to take part in recruitment and have regretted the decision since my roommate came back the first night. Now don’t get me wrong, Independent life was cool and it didn’t stop me from getting an amazing group of both affiliated and non-affiliated friends, but I felt like I was missing that fourth dimension of campus life. So this year, I’m going to dive right in to it and hope I float. I guess we’ll see this weekend!

I think that I’ve exposed just enough of my brain for now, and hopefully I’ll get to share some more.

So until next time,
