What a week! I can’t believe it’s gone by so quickly. Last weekend was a blast. It was so good to finally see my parents and I had fun showing them around Nashville! On Friday afternoon my mom and I walked around Centennial Park and enjoyed the TACA (Tennessee Association of Crafts Artists) Fall Fair. There were hundreds of really talented artists showcasing their handcrafted masterpieces. My mom bought me a really pretty sky-blue topaz ring—I absolutely love it! We also shared a bag of fresh, homemade kettle corn…it was a perfect day!

So, TK is my dorm. I love living here. So many exciting things go on. This past Wednesday, we had a pirate pancake party and people dressed up like pirates and hung out as pirate music played in the background. There were also free pancakes, which automatically makes any event worthwhile. I think we're also having premiere night where we're gonna watch the premieres of new seasons of TV shows like The Office and Grey's Anatomy. I think the best part about TK is knowing so many people who live in it. As one of 2 upper classman dorms, it's loaded with sophmores and juniors and a few freshmen and seniors. So pretty much, the party is nonstop. Just the other night, we had a soccer game going on in the lobby past midnight.

Well, I'm back at Belmont! I have been for the past week and a half and I am having the time of my life. I have to admit, at first I was a little apprehensive about returning to school, but now that I'm getting into the swing of things I'm falling in love all over again with the school. It's so weird to come back as a sophmore instead of as a freshman. I'm coming in with eyes that aren't widening at every aspect of campus (though I did gape in awe as I saw how many new freshmen there are) and I feel like I know everything about the school already. I also already have my group of friends, and so, I'm not coming in with the same fear about being able to make friends as I did freshman year.

"Movin' On Up" is my personal theme for this year, it's kinda like the song from the 70's sitcom "The Jefferson's." I say this because of many reasons which include me becoming a junior, moving into a new apartment, and just a different outlook on life. I feel like becoming a junior is very important, especially in college, because this is time when I am finally starting to actually settle down and start thinking about life after school. Things such as upper-level classes that directly relate to my major, which is Entrepreneurship and Marketing, and internships will help shape my interests as far as a possible career.

The past week or two have been really good for me. It''s probably one of the few times that I can sincerely respond "I'm doing great" when someone asks how I am doing. Why, you may ask? First off, I just found out that I now have an apartment for the school year. Even though it is on the fourth floor, I couldn't care less because that means no more living in the dorm, ever. Oh okay I know that I said that "my dorm is way cooler than the apartments," but that's because I forgot what it was like to have your own space. Don't get me wrong the dorms are pretty cool because there is always folks around to hang out with and go to the cafeteria with you, but nothing gets better than Hillside.

Here on campus there are ten main housing complexes, which include seven dorms and three apartment complexes. But of all of those my dorm (look to the right, there is a peek at the lobby), Thrailkill Hall, which just happens to be the newest addition to housing this school year, is by far the best. And I have several reasons backing my BOLD argument. One, it's new! That means I'm the first and only person to live in my room.....so far. Two, there is a big sense of community as far as people interacting with one another and hanging out in the lobby. I've seen people do everything from play simple card games like Poker and UNO to enjoying a game of four square. There has even been small, little concerts set up in the lobby with musicians in the dorm showcasing their talent at one of our many events.

It's difficult to believe that December is already here. This semester has gone by sooo fast! So what has been happening lately? Well, yesterday it was seventy eight degrees outside and today its an astonishing thirty four degrees. The high all weekend does not reach above forty and I'm sure the week after will probably be back in the seventies. You learn to appreciate consistant climates when you live here, but hey, it's a new experience.... and I promise it's never really that bad.

As I was pondering what to write about this week, it dawned on me that an element very necessary to any human being,s existence is none other than FOOD. I know when I was trapped in the college search process, it was something that I looked over even though it should've been important in choosing a school. Luckily for me, Belmont's food service has been surprisingly good and the only problem I run into with it is that I eat too much rather than there not being enough to eat.
