My New Favorite Subject: Neuroscience!
Mar. 30, 2011—This semester, I’m taking Neuroscience with Dr. Leslie Smith. I kind of enrolled on a whim, since the Cognitive Psychology class I wanted was full. Let me just go ahead and say that I’m now planning on majoring in Neuroscience; that’s how awesome it is.
Spring Football
Mar. 30, 2011—It’s in the air. That’s right, winter workouts are a thing of the past and spring football is under way! Over the course of the past week, most SEC schools returned to the practice fields in preparation for another year of college football. Being from Auburn, I follow my Tigers religiously but I have started...
Cafe Con Leche!!
Mar. 28, 2011—Every year, the Vanderbilt Association of Hispanic Students (VAHS) puts on a performance called Cafe Con Leche with some of the hottest Latin dancing! This year’s theme was “Meet Los Padres.” The VAHS president was Teresa Temkin this year, and the co-chairs of the performance were the Ojeda twins (all 3 dear friends of mine)....
Random Weekend Festivities
Mar. 27, 2011—This weekend was randomly busy for me, but in a very fun, I-didn’t-do-much-actual-homework kind of way! Friday was the AOII formal, and then Saturday kicked off with the Inaugural I-40 Faceoff: Vandy vs. UT hockey game!
Dinner in the U.K.!
Mar. 27, 2011—Last Wednesday, I ate dinner in the United Kingdom…without having to leave Vanderbilt campus.
Just met Taylor Swift’s Talent Agent – NBD…
Mar. 27, 2011—This past Monday I had the fortunate opportunity to attend a Belmont hosted “Insider’s View” lecture with speaker Greg Oswald from WME Talent Agency. Just to name a few of his clients: Taylor Swift, Wynonna, Gretchen Wilson, Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams Jr., Brooks & Dunn, Vince Gill, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Dwight Yoakam,...
The “Oh My Gosh” Busy Month!
Mar. 27, 2011—It appears as though I have taken a leave of absence from school based on my blog hiatus…but thats not true. The reason I have seemed AWOL is because the past month has been quite the ride academically and extra-curricularly. As you probably saw from Nathan’s earlier post, the Melodores took 2nd place in the...
Habitat for Humanity
Mar. 26, 2011—At 5:30 this morning, just as my roommate was getting into bed (I think that she is nocturnal), I woke up to go build a house with Vanderbilt’s Habitat for Humanity. On my walk from the Commons to the CPH (Community Partnership House) at 6 am, I was definitely second-guessing myself. Why did I wake...
AOII Red Rose Ball
Mar. 26, 2011—One fun perk of being in a sorority is having a formal—an excuse to dress up, go out to dinner, and dance with all your friends. Alpha Omicron Pi had our formal last night, and since it was so much fun, I figured I’d share a little about it.
