2012
Parlez-vous Francais?
Feb. 3, 2012—It’s one in the morning, my room is a disaster, my homework is not done, and what am I doing? I’m blogging, of course.
Commons Dining
Feb. 2, 2012—So….as y’all know by now, I love to eat….and one of my favorite places to eat is the Commons.
Weekend Getaway
Feb. 1, 2012—I know that it’s already Wednesday, which makes it closer to next weekend than last, but I just took my biology and organic chemistry exams today (see Eileen’s post) and finally have time to blog. This weekend, in an effort to maximize productivity, my friend and I escaped to Huntsville, Alabama to visit her aunt...
Brown Bag Lecture Series
Feb. 1, 2012—The Women’s and Gender Studies Department hosts a lecture series called the Brown Bag Lecture Series that features talks from representatives of multiple organizations around campus. The one that I attended featured T.J. Jourian, the Program Coordinator of the Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex Life at Vanderbilt University. I always enjoy these...
Applying for VUcept
Jan. 30, 2012—So this year I have decided to apply for a position as a VUcept leader! Who knows, I might get my own group of little freshmen next year to guide through orientation and their first semester!
Study Group = Lifesaver
Jan. 30, 2012—I have pretty much spent the last three days studying (super fun weekend) and I think I would have lost my sanity if it weren’t for my amazing study group. We call it that but it is really a few of my close friends who have braved the Organic Chemistry and Biology combo with me.
Aix-en-Vacances
Jan. 28, 2012—For those of you who haven’t seen my other blogs, I am currently studying abroad in Southern France in a city called Aix-en-Provence. However, sometimes students like to joke around…even some of the host families tell us to remember that while our studies are important, it is also essential to recognize that we are on...
My Shout-out (or How to be an Inside ‘Dore)
Jan. 25, 2012—Applications for first-year students to be Inside Dores bloggers are due today at 4:00 pm! I have few illusions that this article will be of assistance to applicants at such a late hour (if I even finish this before the deadline), but I decided this was a good occasion to write about being an undergraduate...
Dore for A Day
Jan. 24, 2012—Today, I missed the first half of the Vandy vs. University of Tennessee basketball game. Shame on me, I know, but no fear, I was there for the second half and stayed to sing the alma mater with my team after their dominating win. (In case you missed it, the final score was 65-47 and...
The Engineering Overlap
Jan. 24, 2012—I'm not sure if I've at all mentioned that I'm a Mechanical Engineering and Math double major. Now, then. The price of these two excellent majors is that every semester feels the same: engineering and math until I've actually forgotten how to speak English coherently (this blog is my only outlet for such language).
