Storytime Snippets
Mar. 31, 2014—Hello friends! Time to draft a list of everything blog-worthy that has happened in, oh say, the past two months that I haven't yet told you about. Okay Ann. Goal-setting time. I'm going to tackle each one of these subjects, including events like Unveiling the Hijab, BCM Spring SPOTS, a trip to Chattanooga, and perhaps twelve other things, and write about them. Just one a week. Doable.
Vandy Arts!
Mar. 31, 2014—This semester has been an awesome example of how Vanderbilt keeps its students in touch with up-to-date professionals in their field, particularly in the arts!

Congratulations 2018’s (and some unsolicited advice)
Mar. 29, 2014—Vanderbilt chose you, but why should you choose Vanderbilt? And a little congratulatory ego-boost with love from your (hopefully) fellow Commodore. PS that featured photo was my first ever VU instagram from my visit last April. #loveatfirstsight

That One Time I Started a Small Fire
Mar. 27, 2014—Something that happens when you live in a place where you can't stand to loiter outside is that many of your hobbies are replaced by eating. You see, the fabulous thing about food is that it can be enjoyed indoors. Where there is no snow. I digress.
A French Concert, Oh Là Là!
Mar. 27, 2014—This evening I had the delightful experience of attending a concert at Sarratt Cinema with my French 102 class, including my professor and her husband. The feature was Genticorum, a three-man band from Québec.
Inside the Course: Advertising Studio
Mar. 22, 2014—You may remember my blog post earlier this semester about all of my courses.
