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.
