‘s that anticipatory time of year!
Mar. 20, 2013—I have always been one of those students who loved planning. There's something comforting about sorting numerous subcategories into an overall compartmentalized unit. Or maybe I'm slightly OCD and Type A. ;) Regardless, now is the time of year where people like me get to excitedly plan out their summers, next year accommodations, and future classes...
Sunny Saturdays…
Mar. 19, 2013—Vanderbilt Spring = Free workouts, beautiful walks in the park, and delicious (I scream...you scream...we scream for) ice cream!
Visitors, Sigur Ros, Adventure Weekend, Barcelona, oh my!
Mar. 18, 2013—Hello friends, Wow it has been a really long time since I have posted a blog and to all of my faithful followers out there, I apologize. So much has happened since my parents came to visit me almost a month ago – so I am just going to dive in with some of the...
Les Miserables
Mar. 16, 2013—Last night, I was looking for a quiet and fun activity for me and my friends. The week after spring break is always a long one and we were looking for a way to relax. Lucky for us, VSG shows a movie every month in Sarratt Cinema. This month's movie was especially enticing. Not only did VSG show an Oscar winning film, but this film is still in theaters! I got to see Les Miserables!
It all Begins Again
Mar. 15, 2013—Today marks the beginning of the return of football season. Today marks Day 1 of Vanderbilt Spring Football. Today we return to rebuilding Vanderbilt Football so that we can return to the Golden Days of the 20's and 30's.
A Nashville Spring Break
Mar. 15, 2013—Most people leave campus for spring break and as such have epic tales of lands far away to blog about. I am here, though, to tell you all that spring break in Nashville can be fun! If you're an international student or don't have the money to travel, there's plenty to do...
‘m Looking Forward To
Mar. 12, 2013—Well, spring break is over, and it’s time to finish the last few weeks of classes before summer vacation. While the end of the semester is just around the corner, there is still so much to do at Vanderbilt and in Nashville. Here are a few things that I am looking forward to in the next couple of weeks:
ASBest Spring Break
Mar. 12, 2013—This year for spring break I went on Alternative Spring Break to Jackson, Mississippi. It was an incredible week during which I became ASBest friends with 11 new people and learned about the problems facing Jackson.
Just the Break I Needed
Mar. 11, 2013—I spent this past week in bright and beautiful Miami Beach. Although it was a little colder than usual (about 20 degrees below average), the sun was out and my family was there. Spring break is the only real break we get during the semester and although many of my adventurous peers participated in service trips and fun getaways, I knew that I needed some family time to make it through the semester.
A visit from my family
Mar. 5, 2013—Hello to all my readers, I am sorry it has taken so long to add a new blog post. The past three weeks have been absolutely crazy (in the best way possible). I had my family come in for ten days (more on this below), then I had “midterms” (one paper that took me forever to write...
Reflections and Prospects (Spring 2013)
Mar. 4, 2013—There’s something exquisitely comforting about a sitting room with a grand piano dominating one side and a heap of quintessential American snacks in the center, ringed by a ragtag bunch of musicians and one Lebanese kid. This is the second night I spend in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and while cheese puffs, Chex Mix, and Ale81...
Semester Update: Part 1
Mar. 4, 2013—It is now about halfway through the semester--AKA Spring Break! (more on that in my next post), and sadly blogging has fallen somewhat by the wayside--terribly sorry, lovely readers. In this edition of Semester Update, I'll give you a bit of a run-down on all of my classes and how I'm liking them at this halfway point!
