Nashville

So the Nashville chapter of my life is coming to a close. I might be back someday, but not anytime soon (to live that is, I'll be back in August to visit). I've enjoyed my time in Nashville- I've gotten out and seen the city through various events- Country Music 1/2 Marathon, CMA Fest, and lately, Substitute teaching and Full-time teaching. It's important for Vanderbilt students to get out of "the bubble" and see the sights in Nashville - go see the Bluebird Cafe, walk around downtown, or go to the Nashville Zoo. There's a lot to do in Nashville, and I've certainly not done it all. I still need to go to the Country Music Hall of Fame... Anyway, I look forward to our move to Birmingham next Friday, and I've been feverishly selling things on Craigslist so we won't have to take them with us. What a great website! I'm trying to relax and just enjoy my time before dental school starts July 7th. I'm reading some books and watching movies, encouraging Tara to study hard, and enjoying the nice weather we're having in Nashville. I recently wanted to study for anatomy or some subject that might help me in Dental school, but after hearing from current medical and dental students, I've vetoed that idea. First of all, you never know what you're teacher is going to focus on, and you never know when you'll actually need the information. Everyone I've talked to stresses the need to just ENJOY the time off- because once school starts, it's hell.
