Random Weekend Festivities
Mar. 27, 2011—This weekend was randomly busy for me, but in a very fun, I-didn’t-do-much-actual-homework kind of way! Friday was the AOII formal, and then Saturday kicked off with the Inaugural I-40 Faceoff: Vandy vs. UT hockey game!
Dinner in the U.K.!
Mar. 27, 2011—Last Wednesday, I ate dinner in the United Kingdom…without having to leave Vanderbilt campus.
Just met Taylor Swift’s Talent Agent – NBD…
Mar. 27, 2011—This past Monday I had the fortunate opportunity to attend a Belmont hosted “Insider’s View” lecture with speaker Greg Oswald from WME Talent Agency. Just to name a few of his clients: Taylor Swift, Wynonna, Gretchen Wilson, Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams Jr., Brooks & Dunn, Vince Gill, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Dwight Yoakam,...
The “Oh My Gosh” Busy Month!
Mar. 27, 2011—It appears as though I have taken a leave of absence from school based on my blog hiatus…but thats not true. The reason I have seemed AWOL is because the past month has been quite the ride academically and extra-curricularly. As you probably saw from Nathan’s earlier post, the Melodores took 2nd place in the...
Habitat for Humanity
Mar. 26, 2011—At 5:30 this morning, just as my roommate was getting into bed (I think that she is nocturnal), I woke up to go build a house with Vanderbilt’s Habitat for Humanity. On my walk from the Commons to the CPH (Community Partnership House) at 6 am, I was definitely second-guessing myself. Why did I wake...
Pre-Bataan
Mar. 25, 2011—As I’m writing this, I’m sitting on a Friday flight from Atlanta to El Paso, Texas, where I’ll drive to Las Cruces, New Mexico to spend my weekend. “Why,” you ask, “Are you spending your weekend in New Mexico?” To participate in the Bataan Memorial Death March, of course! To put the event in some...
Caffeine
Mar. 25, 2011—Let’s talk caffeine. As most college students (and many high school students) can testify, caffeine, specifically in the form of coffee, is a substance akin to blood or water in its importance to student survival. This biological dependence on/addiction to caffeine intrigued my inner mathematician (double major!), so I decided to look into caffeine as...
Vanderbilt 2017
Mar. 25, 2011—This Wednesday I formally accepted the Vanderbilt Law and Economics PhD/JD Program offer. This program is 6 years, so I’ll be a Vanderbilt 2017 graduate! I think it’s appropriate now to post some snippets from my personal statement (for law) and economics (statements of purpose). (You may not recall but I applied to law schools...
A Magic Cool Bus Ride to the Heights
Mar. 25, 2011—Last night, I was lucky enough to win a spot on the Magic Cool Bus. The Magic Cool Bus takes seven trips throughout the year to places like Graceland and Mammoth Cave. The trips are only open to first-year students and each trip is sponsored by a different Commons house. Last night’s Magic Cool Bus...
4:30am Wake Up Calls, Chasing Boys, and Sisterly Bonding – It must be Derby Days!
Mar. 24, 2011—Every year on Vanderbilt’s campus there is a week where sleep becomes non-existent for sorority girls from the hours of 4:30am on, it is not unusual to see a girl pop out of a bush next to you when you are walking down Alumni Lawn to class, and all that loud music, yeah, it’s coming...
