SPOTSpring Break

Mar. 12, 2013—I totally stole that title from all the ASB-ers out there. It doesn't work quite as well when there are five letters instead of three, but it does get the point across--today, I have the privilege of sharing where I spent my Spring Break: Dallas, TX on SPOTS!

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.

Pinterest Recipes and Ballet Bar Workouts

Mar. 6, 2013—Spring Break: I don’t really believe the “spring” part, but the break is needed. I’m visiting my roommate’s wonderful family in Denver, Colorado, and it snowed so much yesterday! I sat in their kitchen mesmerized at the flakes falling gracefully to coat the ground with a fresh layer of snow. Nashville hasn’t really introduced me to...

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!

The Deed is Done

Mar. 2, 2013—It is finally done. It is finally official. Back in November, I said I was going to declare my major "in a few weeks." Turns out I lied, but I finally got around to making everything official.
