Hello! Our names are Jordan(left) and Chloe(right), and we’ll be the students writing the blog for ENGR 271: Roman Structures, Engineering, & Society this January. Unfortunately, not all of you can physically join us, but at least through this blog we can pretend! We figured we should share a little bit about ourselves before we embark on this journey together.
I grew up in Lakeville, Minnesota, and attended Lakeville South High School. I come from a family of four with a spunky, little Maltese-Yorkie named Morgan. I am a sophomore, and a Mechanical Engineering student here at the University of St. Thomas. I tend to keep myself very busy between classwork, clubs, and my three jobs – my mom tells me I’m crazy. In my few ounces of free time, I love exploring the Twin Cities for new foods and cuisines. Being twenty-five percent Italian, I’m pretty sure I was born a foodie. My favorite restaurant is a quaint Italian place called La Grolla on Selby. The Italian girl likes Italian food… shocking, huh? I have a particular weakness when it comes to board games, strawberry ice cream, tea, or videos of giggling babies on Facebook. I can’t wait to share more with all of you in January!

I grew up in Chanhassen, Minnesota and graduated from Chanhassen High School. I am a sophomore studying both General Business Management and Mechanical Engineering, although aspiring to switch to Civil Engineering. I grew up with my parents and two sisters, of which I’m the middle. I’ve always been very actively involved in academics, sports, jobs and other extracurricular activities, and so far college has been just the same! Being an athlete, employee, a part of multiple clubs on campus, and always having plenty of schoolwork, a month in Italy is just what I need! I’m a lover of The Office, coffee, travel, and (most importantly) dogs. Like Jordan, I’m an avid fan of good food, so I can’t say I’m upset to be eating Italian for the next month!

We hope this helps you all get a better idea of the women behind the blog. We can’t wait to share our experiences with you all!
Ciao por adesso,
Chloe & Jordan
