First Week at VT

As my first week at Virginia Tech comes to a close, I am very glad that I made the switch from LSU. I am taking one engineering class during the summer semester. So far, the class is great. There is a lecture for an hour and half in the morning, followed by a two hour lab in the afternoon five days a week. So far the average seems to be two hours of homework a night. I have met quite a few new people here and life looks promising.
I walked over to the July forth celebrations with some residents. It was Beatles nice and the live band at the fireworks was pretty good. The show was a little drawn out though, lasting a little more than thirty minutes.
The weekend was fine. Mainly hung out in other peoples rooms around campus. So far, the campus seems very dry; but hopefully that will change this week.
I found the local church, but I obviously picked the wrong mass to go to. Seems that there is a strong contingency of Life Teen praise and worship folks around here. I need to find an old school catholic church.

Moved to Blacksburg

I made the move to Virginia Tech this past week. The campus is beautiful and I cannot wait to start classes here. I moved into my room today and it is pretty nice. I'm in a suite, so I share a bathroom, a hallway, and a lounge with six people. It makes me wonder why I ever lived on campus at LSU.
My roommate is from south Florida. We're in a similar situation, one of his parents lives in Virginia and the other lives a thousand miles away. His parents are moving back together as are mine. He's a fan of World of Warcraft, and I'm always lost when he starts talking to me about it. I do the same when I start talking about flying.
Overall the move was pretty easy. The people up here are great and everyone seems nice.
The weather for the move could not have been better. No rain and the sun shining overhead. The rooms are moderately sized and in good condition. The only problem that everyone has in the cell phone coverage. If someone calls, I can see the call but once I answer I lose the signal. The parking system here is similar to LSU. All of the close spots are faculty/staff and the students have to park in the "cage."
Well, hopefully this summer class goes well and I cannot wait to finish up my major here at Virginia Tech.
