Winding Down
Dec. 14, 2013—After a stressful week of finals, I am done and ready to enjoy my winter break! Here is what I have been up to the past few days...
Diwali Withdrawal-i
Dec. 12, 2013—As I sit down and relax (I just finished my finals--whew!), my mind wanders to everything that has happened this semester. One of my personal goals this year was to try something new that I have never done before. This semester, I achieved this by performing in Diwali.
Captain Philips and the John Rich Hunger Games.
Dec. 9, 2013—I know that title is a bit of a mouthful but read on to know why. So I was sitting down a few days ago and I got thinking about all that’s happened this semester. My conclusion: Vandy wants me to have as much fun as possible. So earlier on this semester I had the...
My First Thanksgiving
Dec. 8, 2013—Last week saw the coming of Thanksgiving and all the festivities and traditions that come with it. I am talking about the turkey, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, green beans, corn and maybe even mashed potatoes. That may not be an exhaustive list but it is more or less comprehensive. As a Kenyan, Thanksgiving isn’t actually...
Thanksgiving Happenings

Apple Crisp Adventures
Nov. 28, 2013—Like many of my fellow Inside 'Dores bloggers, I occasionally like to try my hand at the culinary arts. I, tragically, have not had much time to do so at school this semester so when I came home and heard we were in need of a Thanksgiving dessert, I readily volunteered to make one. The added kicker? One of our guests is gluten-free. Challenge accepted.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Nov. 28, 2013—It's Thanksgiving, and I've just consumed far too much delicious food (my family eats early). Thanksgiving has caused me to be a bit nostalgic and think over the past couple of years, and my time at Vanderbilt is definitely a huge part of what I'm thankful for this year!
Regionals Wrap-up
Nov. 27, 2013—Approximately one month ago, the women’s club soccer team packed up our suitcases and headed to Winston-Salem, North Carolina for the NIRSA Regional tournament. Going to this tournament meant that we’d miss one day of classes, since it started on a Friday. I’ve said it in blog posts before (and I’ll say it again when...
The Break Begins
Nov. 24, 2013—Remember how much I was looking forward to Thanksgiving Break in my last post? Not to say that it's all completely over, but I've taken the past couple of days to wear my polar bear pajama pants and relax.
