‘Classes’
AXLE
Aug. 9, 2013—When I first enrolled at Vanderbilt, I thought: "Finally! I can take classes I want to and avoid some subjects like the plague." While this is truer in college than it is in high school, there is still a requirement in the College of Arts and Science to take courses outside of your major.
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.
Registration Woes
Apr. 15, 2013—I can't really complain about registration since I'm a rising senior, and we get the best registration days. I can, however, complain about the fact that I am a rising senior, and last week I registered for classes for the second-to-last time. And I panicked about classes for the second-to-last time. I feel old.
It’s that anticipatory time of year!
Mar. 20, 2013—I have always been one of those students who loved planning. There's something comforting about sorting numerous subcategories into an overall compartmentalized unit. Or maybe I'm slightly OCD and Type A. ;) Regardless, now is the time of year where people like me get to excitedly plan out their summers, next year accommodations, and future classes...
Bringing the Music to Music City
Mar. 11, 2013—With a few tricks up my sleeve, I managed to score the gig of a lifetime for my next three years at Vandy.
Semester Update: Part 1
Mar. 4, 2013—It is now about halfway through the semester--AKA Spring Break! (more on that in my next post), and sadly blogging has fallen somewhat by the wayside--terribly sorry, lovely readers. In this edition of Semester Update, I'll give you a bit of a run-down on all of my classes and how I'm liking them at this halfway point!
Midterms
Feb. 24, 2013—With just one week before spring break, midterm season is upon us. I have two exams this week and a project due, but compared to some of my friends, I suppose I got off easy. Here is the short list of things standing between me and my beautiful family in sunny Miami Beach.
Dinner and Some Movies
Jan. 23, 2013—This weekend was a long weekend in observance on MLK Day. Monday was fully programmed with optional activities in observance of the holiday. I attended a watching and discussion of the Inauguration in Rand, for example. Because of the long weekend, I was able to indulge in dinner off campus and some movies.
A Hike Through Humanities
Jan. 15, 2013—Readers, I am afloat on a sea of weirdness. I am taking a break from “homework” to write this blog, and my confusion stems from the nature of this work. I’m…reading a book. Just reading it. Not taking notes on the equations or reading a chapter in preparation for a problem set, just reading it...
This year I’m grateful for stress
Jan. 13, 2013—This first week back at Vandy has been an incredibly long and stressful one, but I’m still optimistic that things will improve...
