Happiness Amidst the Gloominess
Nov. 16, 2011—Rain is a part of the natural process of life. I get that. In fact, I enjoy rain showers from time to time. But let me just say that rainy weather makes me want to curl up in a ball to take a nap and have a lazy day. However, this week certainly does not...
Food, festivities, and free stuff
Nov. 13, 2011—Fridays are marvelous. They’re probably my favorite day of the week because I only have two classes, the first of which isn’t until 11am and because there are always fun things going on. This last Friday was particularly excellent.
CMA Awards!!
Nov. 11, 2011—Around this time last year, it occurred to me how incredibly close Vanderbilt is to the CMA Awards that take place at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville every year. I vowed that someday, I would take advantage of that and actually go to the awards, instead of just lusting over the idea for the next...
Day 1 of volunteering!
Nov. 9, 2011—Today was my first day of volunteering at St. Mary Villa Child Development Center through InterAmerican Health Alliance (IAHA)! As soon as I walked into the play area for the kids, I was greeted by 6 young kids, Kayla, Jose, Nicholas, Joshua, and Sophia. Minutes later, quite a few others joined my welcoming committee and...
Busy, busy month!
Nov. 9, 2011—Oh my. I’m only 8 days into this month and I feel like I’m already running out of time! With only one month left of the semester, it is weird reflecting on all that has happened already and all that is still left before the semester comes to a close.
Eight Days ‘Til Nationals!
Nov. 8, 2011—As a member of the Vanderbilt Women’s Club Soccer team here on campus, I’ll be leaving early for Thanksgiving Break, and instead of heading straight home, I’ll be detouring to Phoenix, Arizona for the club soccer National tournament.
Panhellenic Preview Day, Take Two
Nov. 7, 2011—Almost one year ago, I blogged about Panhellenic Preview Day, since I was interested in joining a sorority. This past Saturday was Panhellenic Preview Day again, but this time I was on the other side, talking mostly to freshman girls planning on going through recruitment in the spring.
Diwali!
Nov. 7, 2011—Every year, Masala-SACE (South Asian Cultural Exchange) hosts a show called Diwali. Last year, my roommate (and fellow blogger) Ashlin, along with a few other friends, were dancers in the show. It looked like a ton of fun, so this year myself and a couple of friends (including another fellow blogger Caitlyn) decided to join...
Catch The Green Bird
Nov. 3, 2011—Last weekend was not only Halloween, but also opening weekend of The Green Bird, performed by Vanderbilt University Theatre. Because I’m a Theatre minor currently taking Theatre 100: Fundamentals of Theatre, I had to usher and attend one performance and then write an analysis (which I’ll do as soon as I’m done with this blog…).
I Love Variations
Nov. 2, 2011—You know when you’re just having a rough week and all you need is a little break to renew your spirits? I found my secret weapon for getting through a busy schedule.
