It’s always fun to give thanks
Nov. 25, 2012—This past week was Thanksgiving break and I had a totally awesome time even though I wasn’t able to go home! That is one of the pitfalls of being an international student—since you live so far away, it is difficult to see your family during short-term breaks like Thanksgiving. But, that means that you can go home with friends (or in my case, my boyfriend) and get to experience the fun that is Thanksgiving in a different setting...
Black Friday Bonanza!
Nov. 24, 2012—Want to know a big secret? I’m not really a fan of Thanksgiving dinner. But I still look forward to the holiday… because of Black Friday!
Thanksgiving Break Coming to a Close
Nov. 24, 2012—Thanksgiving Break marks the first time I have been home in over 3 months… that’s a fourth of a year!
Missouri Loves Company
Nov. 23, 2012—The weekend before break I made the 7.5 hour drive to Columbia, Missouri for an ultimate frisbee tournament. The tournament was even more fun because both the men's and the women's teams went to compete.
Music Making
Nov. 22, 2012—This post coming to you fresh from the Yeh kitchen, as Mr. Turkey makes friends with his neighbors Butternut Squash, Carrot, and Potatoes in the Oven. Today I was practicing again. Such is the life. Anyways, I had the strangest feeling: the realization of the complete disconnect among the fingers of my left hand, which tapped the wire strings against the neck of my cello, and my right arm swinging back and forth like a pendulum- right, left, right left- and the noise which was just coming out of the wood. It was so bizarre.
Catch-Up with Nathan and Victoria: Chapter III
Nov. 22, 2012—Well, that was cathartic. Turns out blogging is really excellent for morale, especially when I can take events that have been weighing heavily on my long-term memory (I do use that memory for class and whatnot) and put them in the electronic memory bank known as Inside ‘Dores. That came out more Star Wars-ish than...
The Last Vanderbilt Home Game!
Nov. 21, 2012—This past Saturday I went to the last home game of the year, where we played our rival, Tennessee. Not only did we win, but I got to celebrate with the seniors as they performed in their last home football game.
Nashville is Growing!
Nov. 20, 2012—This year, I live in the Carmichael Towers right on West End allll the way up on the top floor. The 14th floor (or the “Penthouse” as my friends and I jokingly refer to it) has given me a great view of the city of Nashville this year, and if there’s one thing I’ve noticed...
First Post/ I’m Going to Rome!
Nov. 20, 2012—Well, this is my first blog post of the semester, so I should explain why I’ve been so busy. This semester, I spent much of my time working on an application to study abroad. Working on writing samples and paperwork for this process was definitely time consuming considering I have regular schoolwork as well, but...
Catch-Up with Victoria and Nathan: Chapter II
Nov. 19, 2012—True life: Nathan currently has a post with this title (except he has his name first, pfft) in the works. I’m beating him to it. Find all the Catch-Up Chronicles here. My lovely readers, it has been far too long. Over a month, in fact. In that span of time, as Nathan mentioned, a LOT...
