The last first day of class
January 14, 2009
As the first day of my last semester at Rollins approaches, so many thoughts are running through my mind. Four and a half years worth of memories are brought to the surface as I think about all the great experiences I have had at Rollins. It truly has been the best years of my life. My emotions run crazy as I am pulled in opposite directions. One minute I’m so excited to walk across that stage and begin the next chapter in my life, while a minute later I have to imagine leaving my life and friends here for good. I have decided that the only way to get through this is to make this the best semester ever.
Even though this is my last semester, it is going to be just as busy as every other semester for me. I have registered for a full class load in order to finish the classes needed for my major and to complete my prerequisites for dental school. I will be taking Analytical Chemistry, Senior Capstone Seminar for Spanish, Principles of Financial/Managerial Accounting, and a sculpture class … it is definitely going to be a busy semester!
In addition to classes I am continuing to work on campus in the Office of the Dean of Faculty and work for Upward Bound tutoring high school students. I am also excited to spend one final semester working with all of the organizations on campus that I am involved in.
Although I am anxious to begin my last semester at Rollins, I cannot forget the amazing Christmas break that has just come to an end. I spent the entire break back at home in Wisconsin with my family and friends. I braved the cold weather and went to my very fist Packer Game! It was amazing! There is nothing like sitting on metal bleachers covered in ice for 4 hours! All the really matters, however, is that they won! I also spent a week in northern Wisconsin in a log cabin with my fiancé and his whole family. We had such a great time hanging out, playing games and cooking together. We even made my favorite snack – s’mores!
Aside from camping up north and traveling to Green Bay to watch the Packers, my fiancé and I spent the majority of the break planning our wedding. I have had such a great time planning, but one would never imagine how much planning goes into this one day. We spent many days from sun up to sun down working on wedding details, making phone calls, scheduling meetings and matching color swatches! I can’t wait for the day to finally arrive!
| More about Jenn... As she begins her fifth and final year at Rollins, Jenn is clearly not a new student to the Rollins community. After studying abroad in Spain and having two very different concentrations, Spanish and Pre-dental, she is spending her last year finishing up her dental school prerequisites and completing her Spanish major. Staying at Rollins for another year has allowed her to continue being involved on campus as well.
Jenn is the director of All Campus Events (ACE), the president of the American Student Dental Association (ASDA), and a member of the Academic Honor Council, NSCS, and Omicron Delta Kappa Honors Society. She also enjoys teaching oral health care lessons to elementary students. “I think that my diverse involvement on campus and experiences will allow me to relate to many Rollins students and offer valuable insight to college life,” Jenn said.
