Hello! I’m Jonathan(Jack). I like to be the guy that sits right next borderline of socially proper so I don’t feel bad jumping across it when I’m around friends. Another fun fact about me is that i’m 50% Italian, and you would be able to tell if you are ever around me outside of class. I am the one guy you’re pretty sure you can hear from the campanile when he is nearby the albino squirrel’s stomping grounds on the other end of central campus, and that volume doesn’t change as you get closer. Now that you know that, you should know that doesn’t mean I can’t control myself. I can stay poised and proper as long as the topic isn’t food or rock climbing. Rock climbing has been my pass-time while at Iowa State and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I try to go all the time with my friends to hang (literally) and relax while climbing some boulders. I am writing this at the end of the freshman year and I can’t believe it is almost all over. “What? Over? Did you say ‘over’? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!” -Animal House. So with that, I invite you to relax and check out my reflections and papers about English 250. Enjoy!
