Summer Plans

Sophomore Year Comes to a Close
May. 6, 2011—That’s that. I have completed my second year at Vanderbilt! At 5:00 PM on Wednesday afternoon, I finished my Intro to Biological Sciences (BSCI 110B) final which marked the beginning of summer!

May. 1, 2011—Today, I am moving out of Stambaugh House. I never thought this day would come. Moving out of the Commons is bittersweet. How has an entire year already come and gone? It seems like just yesterday that I moved in. Unfortunately, the move-out process is a little more arduous than the move-in process.

Easter “Family” Dinner
Apr. 25, 2011—Yesterday was Easter, and because most of us will be leaving Vandy in a week or so, not many people went home for the holiday. That’s not to say we didn’t take a break from studying and spend it with loved ones, though.
Summer in the Nashville City
Aug. 19, 2010—I spent about half my summer in Nashville – and it may have been one of the best decisions ever. Right after finals I went home for my younger brother’s high school graduation and then did some summer traveling. By the end of June, I repacked my things and headed back down south.
