Day 1 of volunteering!
Nov. 9, 2011—Today was my first day of volunteering at St. Mary Villa Child Development Center through InterAmerican Health Alliance (IAHA)! As soon as I walked into the play area for the kids, I was greeted by 6 young kids, Kayla, Jose, Nicholas, Joshua, and Sophia. Minutes later, quite a few others joined my welcoming committee and...
Panhellenic Preview Day, Take Two
Nov. 7, 2011—Almost one year ago, I blogged about Panhellenic Preview Day, since I was interested in joining a sorority. This past Saturday was Panhellenic Preview Day again, but this time I was on the other side, talking mostly to freshman girls planning on going through recruitment in the spring.
Diwali!
Nov. 7, 2011—Every year, Masala-SACE (South Asian Cultural Exchange) hosts a show called Diwali. Last year, my roommate (and fellow blogger) Ashlin, along with a few other friends, were dancers in the show. It looked like a ton of fun, so this year myself and a couple of friends (including another fellow blogger Caitlyn) decided to join...
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…).
I Love Variations
Nov. 2, 2011—You know when you’re just having a rough week and all you need is a little break to renew your spirits? I found my secret weapon for getting through a busy schedule.
Homecoming Block Party
Oct. 22, 2011—This week is Homecoming for Vanderbilt, so there have been a bunch of fun activities going on, like the Block Party at Kensington Place last night!
Predators, Concerts, and Majors. Oh my!
Oct. 20, 2011—There are lots of things to catch up on! On Thursday evening, after my swarm of midterms were finally done, I went with my friend Rachel-Chloe to the opening game of the Nashville Predators vs. the Phoenix Coyotes at Bridgestone Arena, courtesy of A.I.Ch.E– the Chemical Engineering Society here at Vanderbilt!
Alpha Male Benefit
Oct. 16, 2011—Each sorority and fraternity has a fall benefit, and ours was today! AOII Live Presents: Alpha Male was basically a male pageant that raised over $7,000 for the Arthritis Foundation.
Outdoor Recreation: Climbing at King’s Bluff
Oct. 5, 2011—One of my favorite things to do on a weekend is to get away for a day and go outside! I don’t just mean reading a book while basking in the sun. I mean good ol’ hiking, kayaking, canoeing, and above all (pun intended!) climbing!
A Super Stressful Wednesday
Oct. 5, 2011—For some odd reason homework, meetings, more meetings, and class seem to have gotten together to perform a sneak attack on my sanity and sleep schedule today. Looking back though, it was quite a productive 16 hours!
