American Music Recital
Apr. 11, 2011—As you may have noticed before, I go to a lot of Blair concerts. I’m really not that cultured in the arts, it’s just that my roommate and one of my best friends are in Blair, so I’ve met a bunch of cool people from there or Spirit of Gold (the marching band).
So Much Sun, So Little Sleep!
Apr. 11, 2011—Ethan has already given you an overview of what Frat Formal season is like but I thought I would throw a girls perspective onto the scene also. I absolutely love spring formals!

Pancakes at the Pantry! (Courtesy of CityVU)
Apr. 9, 2011—I just left Pancake Pantry. I had a 4:15 reservation. You are probably wondering how this is possible when the restaurant closes at 4. Not only this, but even when the restaurant is open, they do not take reservations. People line up around the block to eat at the Pantry.
My Visit(s) to the Vanderbilt ER
Apr. 8, 2011—I’d like to apologize to all of you for being incredibly MIA as of late. I’ve been dealing with a very interesting health situation, resulting in two trips to the Vanderbilt ER.
