What? It's the end of the semester?

            I am sitting here writing this blog in disbelief that another semester has flown by in my collegate career and in a matter of days I will be a junior. College does fly by as everyone says and it is double that speed here at the McConnell Center. We have had a remarkable and historic year here with visits from the current Vice-President, the unforeseen replacement of Sen. Ted Kennedy and historian and my personal favorite guest, Dr. John Lukcas. The insight and knowledge that has been accumulated here in the last two semesters would take the average person two full years in college just to start grasping. With the addition of Dr. Gregg’s class, I can say that I have been enlightened beyond my wildest imagination and that I would be able comprehend things now, that many people don’t want to even look at.

Furthermore, the memories of all the good times with the scholars at retreat, kamping, or just the day to day run-ins have been great. I will personally miss, as I am also reminded now that we are at the end that Dr. Kleber will be leaving the Center. Dr. Kleber as I have said on numerous occasions has been extremely influential in my college career and I will truly miss his advice, history tidbits, and just plain ole’ seeing him around, but hopefully we’ll get to see him at retreat and maybe another kamping trip next year? What do you think Dr. Kleber?

This year has been spectacular and another reason why I am thankful to be part of this program. I hope that everyone has a great summer and I will see you all next semester!
