Review Session
Dec. 16, 2011—Currently, only my biology final stands between me and going home. Needless to say, I’m scared to death about it, but I’ve been studying as much as possible, and yesterday my professors held a review session, which is always helpful.

Busting through the Finish Line; or, My End of the Year Wrap Up

Dec. 8, 2011—To shake things up a bit, I wanted to give other non-blogging Vanderbilt students the chance to get a few words in.

Let’s Catch Up!

Class Outside on a BEAUTIFUL Fall Day
Nov. 8, 2011—Today, the weather was absolutely amazing! The high was right around 70. There was a nice breeze and the sun was shining. I wore a skirt and flip-flops. It was just perfect.
Catch The Green Bird
Nov. 3, 2011—Last weekend was not only Halloween, but also opening weekend of The Green Bird, performed by Vanderbilt University Theatre. Because I’m a Theatre minor currently taking Theatre 100: Fundamentals of Theatre, I had to usher and attend one performance and then write an analysis (which I’ll do as soon as I’m done with this blog…).
