Christmas

Christmas this year was pretty good. I watched games all day and it snowed today. It never snows on Christmas day and I didn't get any pictures. But I got some really good gifts that I wanted. I am missing my family. As I sit here alone blogging about this. I wish I could spend another Christmas with my family. I was on Facebook and saw all these pictures of my family hanging out having a good time with each other and I was filled with jealousy and sadness that I couldn't be there. The pictures should have made me happy but they really only depressed me and reminded me of what I was missing. I have to get back home to Georgia because being so far away is killing me and making me sad. Next Christmas, hopefully, I'll be spending it with my family.

Made it Through Fall Semester

I've finally recovered from fall semester (2014) to sit down and blog about it. It was one of the most intense, stressful, hardest semesters I've ever had. I had a few classes that made me nervous about taking but had no choice but to take them and get them out the way. I had a class with a professor who I've had issues with before. It was just a crazy, busy semester and it had me near nervous breakdown a couple of times. I'm not one to break that easily but I swear if this semester hadn't ended last week I would have wigged out.

Speechless....

No grand jury indictment in the Eric Garner case. These were his last words before he died. I don't even know what to say or how to react anymore. I just don't...

Black Lives Matter...

When Trayvon Martin was killed at the age of 17 years old and George Zimmerman wasn't charged I was furious, upset, disappointed that this blatant racism was taking place. I was happy when he was finally arrested and I followed the trial just like anyone else. Of course I was disappointed that he wasn't found guilty for taking the life of a child. As this case went on there were other cases surfacing like that of Jordan Davis who was gunned down by a white man in a gas station parking lot. He was also only 17 years old. Marissa Alexander fired a warning shot at her abusive husband and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. All of these cases happened in Florida and all were stand your ground cases. There was the shooting of Renisha McBride who got into a car accident and needed help. She knocked on a man's door and when he opened it he open fire, killing her. All of these cases got my blood to boiling and I was hot and angry and sad for all the people who lost their lives and their families. I was active and kept up with cases. But after this summer all of that changed. It seems as if all hell broke loose.
