The First Post!

Hi,

The name is Josh, and yes I have had a blog before, but that was old news in my life and I decided that as life has changed, I needed to change too!

From the title it is pretty apparent that I am college bound for College Station this coming fall. To start off with the basics and how I came about to choose Texas A&M. The past summer in July, a buddy of mine had gone and taken a tour of the campus and came back talking to me about it, in which I was interested. I went home and talked to the parental units about the school and before I knew it bags were packed and we were on the road, destination Bryan-College Station. After about three and a half long hours riding in the back seat with my sis, we arrived. Unfortunately it was almost 12:30 A.M. and our tour would have to wait until the next morning.

Waking up at the crack of dawn the next morning we made it to the campus, parked, and I almost was drafted into the Corps of Cadets. It was the weekend for a meeting for students who had signed up for the Corps. It turned out that the group of people we decided to follow that looked as if they knew what they were doing led us to the building, in which I told my parents I wasn't interested, or at least I didn't think so.

When we finally reached the tour center and were on the tour I felt as if A&M were my second home, a place that I knew that I was destined to go and would do anything to attend.

At this point school started and admissions for Fall 2008 term was open, my application was sent in. Being a part of the top 10% of my high school class, I knew that I was automatically admitted, but still had nerves about whether I was going to actually be admitted.

Then about four weeks after admission, I received an acceptance letter! I was completely ecstatic because I was going to attend my dream school. I applied to be in their biochemistry program with a possible double major in genetics. And yes, if you have been reading thus far, you would wonder why biochemistry? My future endeavors involve attending medical school and becoming a doctor.

Well there is the first of many posts of an exciting college bound Aggie.
