The Rude Mechs
Feb. 3, 2013—This past Friday night, my homework was to see one of Vanderbilt’s Great Performances, The Method Gun.

Dinner and Some Movies
Jan. 23, 2013—This weekend was a long weekend in observance on MLK Day. Monday was fully programmed with optional activities in observance of the holiday.

Dec. 19, 2012—Caitlyn's Catch-Ups Part 4: Finals! As Thanksgiving break approached a few weeks ago, I decided it was probably about time to check out my finals schedule and develop a game plan before it was too late.

High Poverty Youth Class
Dec. 17, 2012—This semester I chose to take an Peabody HOD class called High Poverty Youth. This class focused on the difficulties of living in poverty, and how society could address it.
