Coming home this year


My last Homecoming was by far the best. Our gym became the stage for two of the greatest performing groups of our time.

Guster came:














Kanye rocked:



If you look hard enough, you can see our very own Blair School of Music students playing right alongside Kanye. They were so cool and composed in front of the packed Memorial Gymnasium crowd.

The "home" in Homecoming truly applies here. You can guarantee I'll be back here for many years to come.

Much love,
JCR

P.S. I love that the Kaplan test prep center is across the street. I walked the 20 seconds there countless times for LSAT preparation this summer. And boy, was it worth it.

Still a whole year ahead of me

"What would I blog about?"

Politics? Sure, but there's enough of that already. Random thoughts? That's not very compelling.

You know, I really didn't know what I would blog about until the beginning of this year, my last year, at Vanderbilt. Law school applications and the LSAT have leapfrogged past any desire to be a songwriter in great ol' Nashville, TN. And now, I need a different venue to tell people about everything running through my head.

And what's running through my head?

Vanderbilt. I find myself making random excursions to the graduate schools just to see what they're about. I've started realizing I'm going to miss things I had once ignored or have taken for granted. There's far too much here to absorb in only 4 years. I carry guilt for not recognizing that sooner.

That leads me here. I'd like to share my story. There's a lot you should know about this place. And secretly, I also don't want to be forgotten.

So stay tuned. My story starts here.

Until then,
JCR
