http://light.wittenberg.edu/blog/jordanbamberger Just another Light.wittenberg.edu weblog Tue, 16 Jun 2009 19:32:22 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Well, here I am, exactly 1 month post grad and out of the Wittenberg bubble.  To my surprise, the world is still spinning, I am still a functional human (somewhat) and my parents and I are still on speaking terms.  So far this summer, I have stayed busy which has been ... http://light.wittenberg.edu/blog/jordanbamberger/2009/06/16/the-final-perspective/ As the days dwindle, I find my main concern/frustration is how to absorb all that is Wittenberg as efficiently, memorably, and quickly as possible (obviously pushing aside what is left of academics and the future for a hot second).  As different as every person is here, so are all of the ways ... http://light.wittenberg.edu/blog/jordanbamberger/2009/04/29/chaos/ Yes again, another blog regarding "the future." It has become sort of an obsession.  It is increasingly hard to not contemplate the future when the basis of almost every senior conversation seems to include: "What are you doing after college?" Oh yes. That dagger of a question.  Frankly, it is a ... http://light.wittenberg.edu/blog/jordanbamberger/2009/03/30/the-f-word/ So it is extremely hard to not talk about being a senior in every blog. I guess this one will follow the trend. Spring break is 2 weeks away. And what happens after spring break? TIME GOES BY EVEN FASTER. Oy. I must say that I am picking up on little pointers ... http://light.wittenberg.edu/blog/jordanbamberger/2009/02/24/live-and-learn/ Senior year is full of obligations such as senior comprehensive tests, senior comprehensive essays, the GRE, and other standardized ways to "test all of the knowledge you have acquired thus far blahblahblahblah." However, I have realized that despite all this, another task that comes from being a senior in college is that ... http://light.wittenberg.edu/blog/jordanbamberger/2009/02/02/decisions/ So, it has been a while. Well, let's see. Winter break consisted of: -A trip to Las Vegas -The Flu -A Realization that I probably should not live at home for long periods of time -Applications for the real world -Another realization that New Years Eve may be one of the most overrated holidays that we ... http://light.wittenberg.edu/blog/jordanbamberger/2009/01/16/2009/ So, it has been a while. Let's recap: 1st sign of being a senior: Final Witt soccer game ever: University of Chicago 4, Wittenberg 0. Honestly, if we were going to lose, that is how I would have preferred we do it. Go big or go home. I must say that as each senior was ... http://light.wittenberg.edu/blog/jordanbamberger/2008/12/02/2-signs-of-being-a-senior/ So, on Wednesday we hosted Allegheny for the semi-finals.  After regulation and 2 overtimes, the score was 0-0 which meant penalty kicks.  I'm not going to lie, as the clock wound down in the 2nd overtime, I tried to think back to the last time I had been in a ... http://light.wittenberg.edu/blog/jordanbamberger/2008/11/10/cloud-9/ So last weekend was fall break, and luckily I got the opportunity to spend it back home in C-town. It was wonderful to relax and sit around watching the Buckeyes and Browns with the 'rents.  This past week back however, was not an easy transition. I had a huge behavioral neuroscience test Friday and ... http://light.wittenberg.edu/blog/jordanbamberger/2008/10/26/break-and-back/ So, homecoming weekend came and went (A sure sign that this year is going way too fast). The weekend was a success, although I think I had too many expectations on what it would entail exactly.  Our house was quickly transformed into a small hotel for alumni and that actually turned ... http://light.wittenberg.edu/blog/jordanbamberger/2008/10/14/homecoming/
