Fall Finale
Dec. 15, 2012—Today marks the official last day of the Fall Semester! Woo hoo! Though I made my way back home earlier in the week, I figured now is a good time as any to do some reflecting on the semester past and things to look forward to in the semester to come. Fall: 1) Large quantities...
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

The Radio City Rockettes!
Dec. 5, 2012—Last weekend I fulfilled a childhood dream: I witnessed an absolutely incredible performance by the Radio City Rockettes, right here in Nashville, at the Grand Ole Opry.
