Week One

Hey guys! My name is Emily and I'm a sophomore in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech majoring in mechanical engineering.  I'm hoping to one day work as a civilian for the Army building tanks and unmanned ground vehicles.  Basically I'm interested in big machines and learning how they work.  I love Virginia Tech and everything it has to offer, especially Thursday night football games in Lane Stadium.  I'm taking Soc 200 to fulfil a Curriculum for Liberal Education requirement but even if it wasn't a requirement, I would probably still take the class because I want to broaden my horizons.

When I'm not in class, I love being outside and just exploring.  My favorite thing to do is go sailing.  I'm addicted to trashy TLC shows such as Sister Wives and Toddlers & Tiaras.  My roommate recently got me addicted to stumbleupon.com so I probably spend way to much time stumblin'.  This summer I'm working as a barista at a local coffee shop, taking summer classes, and spending time with my family.  As much as I love being back in NoVA, I'm really excited to go back to Blacksburg!
