My Staycation
Mar. 21, 2011—So as you already know, Nashville is an awesome city. Tourism is one of the city’s main forms of income. This weekend, my boyfriend came to visit me, so we fully immersed ourselves in this amazing place.
Dinner with the Football Team
Mar. 15, 2011—Ok, so maybe I didn’t actually have dinner with the entire football team. I did, however, eat with four first-year players and Coach Franklin at Dean Wcislo’s house.
Honor Council
Mar. 14, 2011—Sorry about the small hiatus. The past two weeks have flown. Between midterms and spring break, I totally forgot to blog! Over spring break, I got an email from my chemistry professor letting me know that I was going to be contacted by the honor council.

Nashvegas
Feb. 13, 2011—Downtown Nashville is famous for it’s neon lights, live music, crazy bachelorettes and quirky regulars.

Passport Ball
Feb. 5, 2011—Every year, the Commons hosts a huge event with elaborate buffets and entertainment.

Laundry
Jan. 31, 2011—I haven’t posted in a few days, so I figured I should take a moment to update you on my life. I don’t really have any exciting weekend stories to share. I spent my Saturday enjoying the BEAUTIFUL weather and playing frisbee on Peabody lawn. Most of Sunday, I worked on my first speech for...
Student Health
Jan. 27, 2011—The Varicella titer is necessary for anybody interested in shadowing a doctor or volunteering at the Vanderbilt Medical Center. I intend on shadowing a doctor this semester (more on that in a future post), so I went to the Student Health Center to get it.
