Feb. 15, 2012—This weekend, in addition to all of the Gameday madness, I was lucky enough to spend time with my parents! My parents flew in from Miami on Saturday morning and stayed until Monday evening.
Slowing down a bit
Feb. 13, 2012—So after a truly memorable weekend with watching our ladies’ basketball team beat the Lady Vols, hosting “ESPN College Gameday“, and putting up an unbelievable fight against UK in the men’s basketball game Saturday night–all on little to no sleep–a lazy Sunday was much needed.

Feb. 10, 2012—Howdy, Internet! After my streak of critically acclaimed, New York Times bestseller blogs, I found myself devoid of the creativity, the drive, the spark that usually inspires me to such heights of blogging genius. At the beginning of this year, as described in a previous article about cows, I accidentally joined Vandy Red Cross, a...
Quality of Life?
Feb. 9, 2012—The other day in my “Environment, health: the real issues” course, we talked about how the perception of what quality of life means is different from person to person.
