As many of you may know, I am attending Virginia Tech to pursue a PhD in Mechanical Engineering. Over the five (5) months, I had been finalizing things for the big move to Blacksburg, VA. When the time finally arrived, I packed my bags into a rental car (since I didn't have a car of my own for now), rode with my older sister and brother-in-law, snapped some pictures along the way, and made my way down to VT Land. Upon my arrival this past Sunday, August 11th, I met my new roommate, who is very friendly, personable, and down to earth. She even showed me and told me about some great local spots, like the Y Thrift Shop (YMCA Center). The Thrift Shop (pictures soon)!!! You already know.
