2011
Home, Sweet Home
Dec. 17, 2011—I remember when I first arrived at Vanderbilt as a freshman for the Fall 2009 semester talking about “home.” However, soon enough, home no longer meant Bloomington, IN…instead it meant North House, sophomore year it meant Mayfield 10, and this past semester it meant Lewis 709. I moved out of Lewis yesterday, and now home...
Review Session
Dec. 16, 2011—Currently, only my biology final stands between me and going home. Needless to say, I’m scared to death about it, but I’ve been studying as much as possible, and yesterday my professors held a review session, which is always helpful.
Research Opportunities
Dec. 15, 2011—I am currently finishing up my final report on the independent research project I worked on this semester. Vanderbilt provides students lots of opportunities to work directly with faculty on a research project.
Baseball Glove Lounge
Dec. 14, 2011—For the past week or so, the Baseball Glove Lounge has become my second home.
Majors declared!
Dec. 12, 2011—Today is an exciting day–I’m officially double majoring in English (with a concentration in Creative Writing) and Communications! Declaring my major wasn’t tricky at all (you may remember Eileen’s post on the process) and here’s what my experience looked like:
Feelin’ Accomplished
Dec. 12, 2011—As of yesterday, I am officially done with my political science class (and political science in general. phew.) and my french class for this semester.
All of the Lights…
Dec. 10, 2011—Last night, I took what was probably one of my favorite study breaks. We got together a group from the Vanderbilt BCM to go see the lights at the Opryland Hotel. For anyone who’s never been, every year around Christmas the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Resort decks out its property in Christmas decorations and lights.
Busting through the Finish Line; or, My End of the Year Wrap Up
Dec. 9, 2011—This semester has undoubtedly been one for the books. Multiple changes of majors, a complete change of requirements, dropped courses, favorite courses, and another finished semester!
Candy, Candy Canes, Candy Corns, and Syrup
Dec. 9, 2011—Today for Reading Day, there weren’t any classes so my friends Carly, Lauren, Abby and I went over to our other friends’ Lewis suite for studying, movie watching, and general merriment.
