Home away from home
Oct. 1, 2013—Socializing, getting out of your comfort zone and trying out different things.
Blood, Sweat, and Tears (Minus the Sweat and Tears)
Oct. 1, 2013—I'm not quite sure how it happened, but since coming to Vandy, giving blood has become one of my favorite pastimes. Savin' lives left and right; you can't stop me. This is probably the most bizarre confession I've ever made, but hey, is there an easier act of service than sitting in a comfy chair, sipping Sprite while nice nurses take fluids out of your arm?
‘t that bad
Oct. 1, 2013—This past Sunday, I went to the Tennessee Titans football game and I was sitting up in the section commonly referred to as the "nosebleed seats." Here is an account of my experiences sitting in the heavens.
Visions of Sushi!
Sep. 30, 2013—Last week, I spent an amazing hour with my Visions group making sushi, sharing the highs and lows of our week and simply having a good time!
Sugar, Sugar
Sep. 29, 2013—Probably my favorite thing in the world is dessert. So the end of last week was splendid. Thursday night, I went to Sweet Cece's for some late night froyo. Friday after a failed attempt last week, I went to get Gigi's cupcakes.
My On-Campus Job is the Bomb-Diggity
Sep. 29, 2013—Having a job in college sounds like a drag, but it really doesn't have to be. This is the first semester I've had a job on campus, and let me tell ya, it is a piece of cake. I am working for Vanderbilt Technology Support Services (TSS for short) in various free computer labs located across campus, but the day-to-day operations of this "job" are sitting at a desk and doing my homework, occasionally giving creepy grins to the people walking into the lab.
An Afternoon Hike
Sep. 28, 2013—Vandy has been covered in parents this weekend because it's Parents Weekend! This is the first Parent's Weekend that my parents haven't come, so instead I get to be adopted by my friends' parents and meet their families. Saturday afternoon, I went on a hike with my roommate Jodi, her mother, and one of our suitemates, Kelsey.
The Art of Patronage
Sep. 26, 2013—“For some of us it is performance, for others, patronage. They are two sides of the same coin…” For the past seven years, I’ve been a spectator. An audience member. A patron. Sure, I had my share of elementary school Christmas plays and summer camp skits, but acting never grabbed me. What grabbed me was...
The First VUT Play of the Season
Sep. 26, 2013—Tonight, I attended opening night of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead performed by Vanderbilt University Theater. I try to go to as many plays as I can but I made a special effort to attend this one for two reasons. First, later in this semester, I will be reading the play in one of my classes. Second, two of the actors in the play are in that same class.
Let the Games Begin
Sep. 26, 2013—In this post, I present to you a quick recap of the Women's Club Soccer team's season so far and a convincing plea for you all to come out to our games this weekend if you're in the area.
A Day in the Life of Eileen, Part 2
Sep. 26, 2013—After describing a typical day for me last February, I figured I'd do it again this semester!
