First, the spell takes one round to cast which means that it comes into effect immediately before your next round, and second the description states that immediately upon completion and each round thereafter you can cast a bolt of lightning. So does that mean after you spend a round casting the spell you can cast your first bolt immediately before your turn and then another on your turn. Or am I just being a munchkin

(You cannot call two bolts in a round. And you're not being a munchkin. Just over-reading the rules.)

Immediately upon completion of the spell, and once per round thereafter

I read it as every round after the round where it first comes into play you can use a standard action to call another bolt down.
