More Nashville Adventures!
Aug. 19, 2012—Well readers, I'm officially moved in, my mom has left, and I've moved in a whole bunch of first years along with some friends. 2 out of my other 3 Chaffin-mates have moved in (stay tuned for a tour), and I'm starting to feel nice and settled here at Vandy.

Aug. 1, 2012—You might be wondering what I've been doing with my time when not teaching SAT prep or reading. Well, this summer my parents decided to take on the project of redecorating our house.

What I’ve Been Reading…
Jul. 26, 2012—Yet another list post awaits you! You've gotten a glimpse of fellow blogger Ashlin Philip's readings this summer, so I figured I'd share with you some what I've been reading this summer.
