‘choosing Vanderbilt’
Nashvilley Lunch at Whole Foods
Oct. 27, 2013—Last Sunday, CityVU planned another private Whole Foods cooking class sponsored by Vanderbilt Programming Board. We had three classes of twenty students each. The class was completely free and the best part (in my opinion) was getting to eat the food that we made!
I GOT INTO MED SCHOOL!
Oct. 16, 2013—I thought that I would never see the day. I actually got into medical school. The University of Florida College of Medicine called me this morning to notify me that I have a place in their class of 2018. I nearly fainted when I heard the news.
Don Quixote and Experimental Fiction
Oct. 15, 2013—This semester, my classes are actually fun. I know, it seems strange, but they really are! Now that I have fulfilled the majority of my graduation requirements, I can take classes that interest me. One of my favorites, is an honors seminar called “Don Quixote and Experimental Fiction.” As I mentioned in my last blog...
Home Again
Oct. 14, 2013—I know it seems like just yesterday that my parents were in Nashville to visit my sister and me on Parents Weekend. But time flies, and before we knew it, it was fall break and my sister and I were headed to the Miami Beach Sunshine.
Not My Parents’ Last Parents Weekend
Oct. 2, 2013—My parents came to parents weekend my first year at Vanderbilt, but they have not been to parents weekend since. Honestly, parents weekend is more crowded and busy than most, so my parents try and come when things are calmer (and they can hang out with all of my friends). This year, however, they decided to brave the crowds as it was my sister's first parents weekend.
The First VUT Play of the Season
Sep. 26, 2013—Tonight, I attended opening night of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead performed by Vanderbilt University Theater. I try to go to as many plays as I can but I made a special effort to attend this one for two reasons. First, later in this semester, I will be reading the play in one of my classes. Second, two of the actors in the play are in that same class.
Free Flu Shots!
Sep. 25, 2013—Today was Vanderbilt's annual Flulapalooza, a huge campaign through which all Vanderbilt students, faculty and staff are invited (encouraged, actually) to get a free flu shot. The campaign started three years ago, and last year we broke the world record for most flu shots given in a single-day campaign.
How Do I Know?
Sep. 21, 2013—Answering the real question at the root of my family's inquiries: how do I know that I'm in the right place here at Vandy?
Home for the Holiday
Sep. 17, 2013—This year, for the first time, I was able to go home for Yom Kippur, which is the holiest day of the Jewish year. I do love Vanderbilt Hillel and the Jewish community on campus, but because the holiday was on Saturday and the Commodores were in South Carolina, I decided to take a quick trip to Miami Beach and see my family.
