Aix-en-Vacances
Jan. 28, 2012—For those of you who haven’t seen my other blogs, I am currently studying abroad in Southern France in a city called Aix-en-Provence. However, sometimes students like to joke around…even some of the host families tell us to remember that while our studies are important, it is also essential to recognize that we are on...
The Engineering Overlap
Jan. 24, 2012—I'm not sure if I've at all mentioned that I'm a Mechanical Engineering and Math double major. Now, then. The price of these two excellent majors is that every semester feels the same: engineering and math until I've actually forgotten how to speak English coherently (this blog is my only outlet for such language).
What’s in store for semester four…
Jan. 21, 2012—The second week of second semester is already nearly over! I can’t quite believe it—and clearly time has flown by so quickly that I haven’t had time to blog (I’m making it up to you with a catchy title for this post)! Here’s the lowdown on what I’ll be doing this semester so you can...
Spring Classes
Jan. 20, 2012—It’s weird to think I’ve only been back at Vandy for two weeks, because I already feel like I have my routine set—which is good considering I finalized my schedule only a week ago. So far, I’m pretty happy with my picks:
Vanderbilt Career Center
Jan. 17, 2012—So I’m currently in the midst of applying for summer internships and I have found the whole process to be rather stressful. The Vanderbilt Career Center has been an awesome resource for me and has lessened my anxiety significantly.
The Package Line
Jan. 17, 2012—Coming back from winter break is different from starting a new school year in several big, important ways. There are fewer new students (just a handful of transfers), and it’s only been about three weeks since the last time you lived in your dorm room (which you don’t have to move into). However, there’s another way in which...
First Week of Class!
Jan. 12, 2012—The first week of classes, also known as “syllabus week”, is the week where everyone tries to figure out their schedule, and I am often known to go to as many as six classes in a day to try and figure out which ones I like!
Hello, Guten Tag, Bonjour
Jan. 12, 2012—Hello — This semester, I am studying abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France with the Vanderbilt-in-France (ViF) program in order to fulfill some final requirements for my French major and to have an amazing experience in Europe!
Reunited with the Commons
Jan. 11, 2012—Day 3 of classes is going so well so far! Despite the early start to every day (8am yaaaaay) I’m very excited about all of my classes this semester.
Classes, Day 2
Jan. 11, 2012—Readers, would you be thrilled if I posted every single day? I imagine not. Nevertheless, I am updating to follow up on my article from yesterday, to talk about the next of my classes (I still have a class that won’t meet this week, which will merit its own article next week!).
First Day Back (again)
Jan. 9, 2012—It’s Monday (January 9th) night, and Vandy’s first day of classes is over. Coming back was bittersweet: Bitter because I’m leaving behind all the things I love about home like sleeping in and all the important people! Sweet, though, because I got to see friends I’ve missed a whole bunch for the past month, and...
