Together we stand

Today is a day that I will reflect on how far this nation has come with race relations. We have indeed come a long way to the point where one may forget the trials and tribulations we have overcome. Today is another day that indicates the fact that we have not came far enough. Today a white police officer was found not guilty killing an unarmed young man by shooting him in the back. The city where this happened is in an uproar. People are destroying their city. Even though I believe it's a race issue I  think African Americans need to take more pride and account for our own lives before we can expect someone else to do so.

Thanksgiving

Today was a cool day. Wasn't too cold or cloudy. After class I went to a program that was held to help someone. It made me think about the less fortunate and if I was in that situation. I thought about the fact that I would need help because I fell on hard times. Would my pride stop me from accepting help or could I get myself out of the situation. In my state mind today and seeing how the students and faculty reached out to the less fortunate I would feel blessed to get the help but I thank God I'm doing better now.

Hump day

Today was a pretty easy day. I only had one class today. I went to class and got a chance to go home and catch a nap. When I made to my 1 o'clock class it was canceled. I had to study for a test Friday in that class. I think it will be fairly easy to pass the test. I'm almost done with this semester with about two weeks to go. Hopefully this time next year I'll be preparing to graduate college.

This semester

I didn't get a chance to finish my work in the studio today. But I didn't stop at a good spot. Hopefully I can continue tomorrow after class. We only have a few weeks left of school. Time has flown by and I realize it. I hope I can bring my grade point back up to the point I was at while I attended Seark. If I can stay focused I don't think it would be a problem.

Bad Day

Today was not so great even though I only had one class. That weather was gloomy and it matched my day. I didn't feel like going in the studio because of my mood. I am glad I can blog to release some tension. I do believe things will get better with time. I hope the readers had a better day than mine. So long til next time.......

Homecoming

Today I didn't have any classes and I'm glad. It allowed me the chance to sleep in a little bit longer this morning. But I did get a chance to attend the homecoming assembly this morning. I had a chance to attend with my classmates but more importantly the alumni. I was able chat and get history about in the school and see generations of alumni. Some were old as my grandparents and some were younger than myself. I hope one day I can have my legacy and tradition similar to some of the alumni.

November 6

Today I only had one class and the teacher wasn't there. I wish the teacher would've told me she wasn't gonna have class. I went to the stem meeting after class and there was a guy there who graduated from the same high school as me but a few years after I graduated. I was speaking his cancer research. I didn't understand everything he spoke about but I did understand that he made strides in cancer research. It made me proud to know someone from my alma mater's doing something monumental. I think his name was Ryan Watley.

Church

Got a chance to go to church this evening. It was a small church with a small congregation. I had to play the organ. The organ was messed up. If would've known I could've brought my keyboard with me and used it. The preacher spoke well. I got in my car to leave and got stuck in the mud. I tried to drive forward only to get stuck even worse. The pastor and a couple of men in the church helped me push the car out of the mud. I'm thankful I was in the right place to get help. Once I got out the mud I headed home.

Election day!

I didn't have classes today. The only one I had this morning was canceled.  I wish I would've known from start and I could have stayed in bed. It did feel good to go back to sleep early though. When I got up I did complete some work from my online course. I almost forgot I was able to cast my vote for the election which was the most important thing today.

Studio day

Today was a pretty easy day. I really didn't have any classes and I got a chance to spend the evening in the studio. No one bothered me the whole time. Most times if I go in the studio someone will come and want to record.  Even though I enjoy making the money sometimes I want to be alone and vent. Making music is therapy for me and it's hard to find time for myself. But today I did. YES!!!!!
