Pittsburgh and a new life

It finally happened. I did land up at the school I always wanted to go to!

The Carnegie Mellon University at Pittsburgh is my new home, away from home and I know I will cherish every moment of the next arduous year that I will spend here. I have two really nice aptmates and a great course to do! What more could a girl ask for :) Oh ok, well there are a million other things that I could probably ask for, but now this is what keeps me happy and smiling!

Pittsburgh is such a pretty place, up above sea level, with a landscape to die for! There is green green ivy all around, that covers almost everything in sight. The walls of the brick red buildings, the 'Village Pizza' wall, nearly hiding the board that identifies the quaint place, tree trunks and of course the vast vast lands. I feel like wrapping some of the ivy around me :)

There are cute shops waiting to be discovered at every corner, plump squirrels hopping wild with joy, flower beds in magnificant colours of red, violet and yellow, brick and stone houses with thin ribbons of smoke curling up from their chimneys, houses that remind me of Scarlet O' Hara and her beloved Tara. There are dogs I have never seen before. Jet black poodles, darker than the koel in my eyes, miniature dogs, and even sled dogs! Yes, I distinctly saw a lady the other night, walking a white dog that looked just the sled dogs of Antartica! My heart leapt with excitement and I nearly ran over to pat her. Oh well! Yea dogs do excite me :P

I love a lot of things here and am so grateful to God for the chance he gave me. I bow to him with utmost faith.
