Getting my Kicks in Semester Six…
Jan. 15, 2013—All right, I admit, the title’s a stretch. Feel free to comment with something better. But I had to keep the tradition alive. And sure, this isn’t quite a preview since I’ve already had a full week of class–but while I’ve had a full week of class, you have no idea what I’m up to!...
Nashville Winters
Jan. 15, 2013—People at home often ask me about winter in Nashville. This is my third winter here and I can honestly say that I still do not have a concise definition for Nashville winter.

A Hike Through Humanities
Jan. 15, 2013—Readers, I am afloat on a sea of weirdness. I am taking a break from “homework” to write this blog, and my confusion stems from the nature of this work. I’m…reading a book.

‘Murrrrica
Jan. 7, 2013—GREEEEEEEEEEETINGS from Nashv…jk my house. While all of my Vandy friends had their first day of classes today, I packed and ran last minute errands to get ready for my semester abroad in Scotland! Which all begins tomorrow as I fly out of Newark at 7:30pm and land in Edinburgh at 7:30am Wednesday morning!!! I...

‘Dores!
Jan. 7, 2013—I was tipped off about Inside ‘Dores halfway through my freshman year at Vanderbilt.
