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.

Eenie Meenie Minie Moe- Where for Spring Break Should I Go?
Mar. 7, 2011—Its that time of year again. The weather is getting to be consistently nice out, the sandals have resurfaced from the depths of the closet.

Welcome To Midterms
Mar. 6, 2011—My schedule this week? You don’t even want to know. I’ll tell you anyways. <–My planner……this week was horrible. On Monday, I had 3 classes- Philosophy 105 (Ethics…currently reading Immanuel Kant’s Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals), Spanish 203 (Spanish Literature-just finished reading La Casa de Bernarda Alba, for all you spanish literature junkies out...
Late Night Study Sessions
Mar. 3, 2011—This week is the last week before Spring Break! Of course, you know what that means.

Nearly everyone I know is losing their mind, cramming in those last tidbits of information. I guess this will make...
Super Cool
Mar. 2, 2011—The diversity and accessibility of great minds at Vanderbilt never ceases to amaze me.

The Green Wagon

Catching Grenades with Bruno Mars Between Midterms and I’m Michael Cera with a Speech Impediment?
Feb. 28, 2011—This past week kicked off the mid-semester phenomenon, that which we call midterms. Nobody likes studying (or do they?).. but if you do it creatively, you can definitely make it a bit more fun. Some study in groups, some study with music. A few friends and I had theory and music history listening sessions where...
Spring Awakening
Feb. 27, 2011—This past weekend, my favorite musical was in town: Spring Awakening. Being the devoted fan I am, I saw it twice in less than 24 hours. I know that sounds a little crazy/stalker-like, so let me explain.
Are You Ready for Some Football?
Feb. 25, 2011—Ok, so maybe I’m a little early, but I am getting excited for next football season. Wednesday night, new Head Football Coach, James Franklin, was invited to speak at Gillette Gelato. Gillette Gelato, held every Wednesday night, is a chance for the residents of Gillette to socialize with each other and their residential staff, over...
