Mountainfilm on Tour
May. 1, 2011—Yesterday I returned to Nashville’s Main Public library, but this time there was no intent to study.

Study Breaks!
Apr. 29, 2011—Finals week has once again struck Vanderbilt as you’ve probably seen from the posts of my fellow bloggers. This, combined with the ever-looming task of packing and making sure everything is in order for the end of the year means that every once and a while, a study break is essential.

Easter “Family” Dinner
Apr. 25, 2011—Yesterday was Easter, and because most of us will be leaving Vandy in a week or so, not many people went home for the holiday. That’s not to say we didn’t take a break from studying and spend it with loved ones, though.
