I’m Gonna Miss It Here
Dec. 15, 2012—With the cold weather seeming like its here to stay a while and all of my friends starting to head home for Winter Break, a constant thought in everything I do has been "I'm going to miss Vandy next semester."
Almost doooooooone
Dec. 14, 2012—It’s been half of day stuffed with studying because I slept in (oops) due to the late night movie. It was totally worth it, though. The Middle Earth definitely did not disappoint, for those of you who were twiddling your thumbs waiting for my review.
Heading to the Shire! brb
Dec. 13, 2012—That’s right, folks. Finals week is, in fact, upon us. My schedule for the past 5 days has literally been: Wake up. Put on sweats. Go to the library. Eat and study. Study study study study. Eat. Study. Return from the library. Sleep. Rinse and repeat as needed. (5 days)

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...
