You Don’t Have to “Go Out” To Have a Good Time on the Weekends
Nov. 14, 2010—I was able to have an awesome time in the comfort of my own dorm room last night. Just a few months ago, I purchased and set up a small studio rig in my dorm room because of a new found hobby of recording music. The screenshot above shows a mix that I spend the...
Magical Opera at Vanderbilt!
Nov. 13, 2010—Last night was opening night for the Blair School of Music’s performance of Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor in Ingram Hall. Good portions of both the voice department and orchestra were involved with making the show the truly spectacular experience that it was; not to mention the brilliance of conductor Robin Fountain and director...
A Little Taste of Heaven…Vanderbilt Dining?
Nov. 11, 2010—Right now I am nommin’ on Vanderbilt Dining’s Famous “Brookie.” It is exactly what it sounds like: a delicious combination between a moist brownie and chewy cookie. Brookies are reason enough to come to Vanderbilt. If you are one of those weighing your options between schools as of right now, put this down on your...
I am SO Jealous. Not really…But Actually I Really Am!!
Nov. 11, 2010—So Vanderbilt has this program called “Commodore Cruises,” where students have the opportunity to enter their names into a drawing to win admission to LEGIT events around Nashville. These Cruises happen quite often, so there are many events that students can take part in. Examples of the kinds of outings we are lucky enough to...
Melodores News/ Recent performances
Nov. 11, 2010—So I know we promised that the CD would be released on Tuesday, but a couple of copyright hangups have forced us to push the date back until we have cleared everything up. Not to worry – the Melodores debut album “Rain Check” WILL be coming out soon though!! In order to promote our name...
Registration!
Nov. 10, 2010—Today, I woke up at 5:45 am because freshman registration for spring classes opened at 6 am. The morning was total chaos and all of my classes seemed to be full. So, when I logged out of registration at 6:15 am, I was only enrolled in 5 credit hours, which is not nearly enough to...
An Evening with the Chancellor
Nov. 9, 2010—Last week for Vanderbilt Visions all of the first-year students attended “An Evening with the Chancellor,” in which each Visions group prepared a few questions to ask Chancellor Zeppos. The questions ranged from professional, to personal, to even pretty random. We learned that if Chancellor Zeppos could have any super power, it would be the...
Getting Involved with Psalm 23rd Prison Ministry
Nov. 9, 2010—A divine encounter happened 2 months ago. I visited Belmont Church with my friend Martha for a Saturday night church service. Afterwards, a few members of the church greeted us. One of the elder men who greeted us started telling us his experience with the Nashville Psalm 23rd prison ministry (several branches – women’s, men’s,...
I Just Did Something I Thought I Would Never Do…
Nov. 3, 2010—…I declared a minor in… Communication Studies! To those that haven’t read an entry of mine before, I am a Musical Arts major, my instrument being voice. So many people, (myself including before today), had preconceptions about declaring a second major or minor in addition to music curriculum at Blair. Is it too hard? Do...
