Mountain Weekend
Nov. 15, 2012—My past weekend was not spent at Vanderbilt, but instead was spent with my fraternity in Gatlinburg, TN. Gatilinburg is a small resort city situated in the smokey mountains, about 3 hours from Nashville (4 if you want to factor in the time zone). On Friday afternoon, I hopped in a car with one of...
Nationals! WOOHOO!

I’m Wide Awake
Nov. 12, 2012—This past weekend, I took a vacation. After a hectic week in which I had three midterms and a nine minute speech all within the span of five days, I needed some time off to regain my sanity. Sure, I could have waited a week and relaxed over Thanksgiving Break. But, a better opportunity presented itself.
Far Away From Addie
Dec. 2, 2011—When I went home for Thanksgiving break, I finally got to meet Addie, the guide dog puppy-in-training that my family began to train in October!
A Carnivalesque Thanksgiving
Nov. 26, 2011—This semester I am taking a course in the French department called “From Carnival to Carnivalesque.” It is taught by an amazing professor, Dr. Robert Barsky. But, don’t let him catch me calling him Dr. such-and-such. He prefers to go by Bob.

A List of Things to do During Thanksgiving Break
Nov. 25, 2011—– Unfortunately, working on work for the following week makes the list. It’s hard to totally forget about the week ahead without realizing that finals are on a couple of weeks away. While this is not something I want to be doing over my break, it will be better for me in the long run!...
Thanksgiving Break So Far…
Nov. 25, 2011—As Thanksgiving on the west coast comes to a close, I’m in the family room, sitting here by the fire watching Space Chimps with my little cousins and thinking about how much fun today (and break so far) has been!
A Change From the Norm: Thanksgiving, Monell’s Style!
Nov. 24, 2011—For me, Thanksgivings in the past have consisted of gathering at my Grandmother and Papa’s house in Brentwood, TN and having the typical spread: a bird, stuffing, beans, lots of bread, and lots of pie. However, this year, my grandparents decided to visit my aunt in Tampa, FL and spend Thanksgiving with her. This left...
