A Different Spring Semester
Nov. 21, 2013—As this semester comes to a close, I thought I'd update y'all about what I'm doing next semester since I won't be at Vandy.
A Lecture at the Parthenon
Oct. 30, 2013—I recently attended a lecture at the Nashville Parthenon and it has reminded me just how lucky I am to live in a city so dedicated to celebrating history and art. How many people can study for their Greek art history exam by walking in the park?!
It’s a Small World After All
Jul. 26, 2013—This summer I was lucky enough to go on vacation with my sister Jackie, in honor of her graduation. We went to Ios, Greece and had an awesome time! I hate the actual act of traveling, but I love visiting other places. I love experiencing the culture, eating the food, meeting new people, and making fun memories. After the trip, I thought about how enriching it was to travel somewhere else and grow as a person. These feeling reminded me of the excitement other students described when they studied abroad. The world is an enormous place, and Vanderbilt makes it possible for its students to experience nearly every facet of it...
Back in the USA
Jun. 19, 2013—Hello faithful followers, It has surely been a while since my last post, but I have made it back to the United States safe and sound. I left Edinburgh on the 25th of May (sad face), and since then have moved into my summer apartment and started interning in New York City. Leaving Edinburgh, and...
Practicing For My Future Practice
May. 27, 2013—For the first time, I am writing an Inside Dores blog post from the comfort of my own bedroom in Geneva, Switzerland. :) I wanted to update everyone on my plans for the next couple of weeks, and how they all got started at Vanderbilt…
On the set of HBO’s “Rome”
May. 2, 2013—Today, I got a chance to visit Cinecitta Studios in Rome where Gangs of New York, Ben-Hur, The Life Aquatic, and most importantly the HBO series Rome were filmed!
Finals-Scotland Style.
May. 2, 2013—Hello hello! While my fellow bloggers are all posting about being done with finals and starting their summers, I still have a long way to go! That is because the UK academic system is much different than what we are accustomed to in the states. At Vanderbilt (and like most US colleges), you have 15...
Exploring Fascist Rome
Apr. 30, 2013—Today, I got a break from ancient and Renaissance history to step back and look at the Fascist Era architecture that defines much of the modern Roman city.
Registering from Abroad, Part 2: Classes
Apr. 24, 2013—Part 2 of my Registering from Abroad guide. How does registering for courses work when you're abroad? Pretty much the same as if you're in Nashville. And when choosing a university, it's important to remember even the little things like an easy to navigate enrollment process.
Registering From Abroad, Part 1: Housing
Apr. 24, 2013—When planning to go abroad for this semester, I was worried about lots of things. What do I pack? What will the other students be like? WIll I actually have free time to travel around Europe? How hard will my classes be? Am I going to catch my flights? But I can’t say that I...
