All moved in.

I am sitting in my dorm room right now, listening to Demi Lovato's Skyscraper and simply thinking. I am thinking about how the roller coaster that I call my junior year will start tomorrow. I am thinking about how good my Japanese Cherry Blossom candle smells and how it perfectly consumes my newly decorated dorm room. And I am also thinking about the Florida Move Over Law.

Let's address the big elephant in the room. Yes, I am ashamed of myself. But I blog about my life experiences and getting my first ticket is definitely a life experience (one that I don't care to publish or remember - but hey, I think people should know about this law).

So last night as I approached a policeman ticketing a driver, I failed to move over to the left lane and reduce to 25 mph to avoid hitting him. I was unaware of this law and many of my friends weren't aware either. So remember to move over to the left lane and reduce to 20 mph below the speed limit. I really wouldn't like to see another person be fined $153 and get three points on their license.

Before the ticket, I actually had an amazing and productive day. My parents helped me move into my newer, bigger dorm room. It is very cozy and I forget that I live in a dorm (such an ugly word). I love living on campus. I just can't get over the convenience. I love walking to class, walking to work, walking to our amazing, rebuilt gym (which I haven't seen yet!). You just can't beat it. Although I want to move off campus next year to get the experience of it, I am already finding it hard to leave. We shall see :)

Oh hello Pittsburgh, nice to see you again!

Here I am pouring out yet another late blog as if I never promised I would write more. Whatever. Quality over quality was always one of my favorite mottos ever since I started using word count for college papers and appreciating Nine West over Payless. And here I am again - putting that motto to good use once more.

I'd like to inform you all that I am back in the States. I've been back for about three weeks now. It's been a hot and busy summer. This post will highlight just one of the things that I had been working towards since I got home - the National Student Recruitment Conference at the University of Pittsburgh.

I had the pleasure of going last year and was grateful to get the opportunity again this year. This year was so different! Me and my fellow executive board leaders of the Green and Gold Guides (tour guide organization at USF) were able to present to different colleges throughout the east coast. The presentation went great and I think as an e-board we work beautifully together. I feel like I can trust each one of these members with my life. It feels good to have such a strong team and it feels even better to have the same passion and love for our organization.

This year we also visited West Virginia University. We wanted to check out their tour and see how it differed from ours. My two favorite things about it - the fact that it was a bus tour & the free cookie we got (even though it tasted like cardboard, I thought it was a cute idea)!!!

After WVU, we went back to Pittsburgh and went to the Pirates game with the conference. Look at the view of the skyline! Beautiful!

The new Batman movie was being filmed in Pitt while we were there. On the way to the airport we passed by the crew filming a scene and we FREAKED OUT. This is my only proof. It was snowing in the scene. I saw the fake snow. And I am convinced there is a funeral. Too many black jackets. Can't wait to see the scene in theaters!!!!
