Hello people. I want to apologize for not keepin' in touch. Let me explain the scenario. As many of you may know, my laptop was pissin' me off to the highest extent, so I basically dropped it off at Best Buy and let them have their way with it. They said it would take about 4 weeks to repair, but I didn't care. I asked myself, what's better: To have something that doesn't work, or to not have it at all? If you are like me, you probably realize it's the same thing, so that was that.
I finished buying my books today. I had a little transition this week and part of late last week where I had to make some drastic changes. I realized that taking journalism classes wouldn't benefit me in the type of writing that I want to do. I had to take specific writing and English classes. It's a lot of reading, and now a lot of writing, I have yet to feel much pressure. I'm trying to just stick with it because I finally feel like I'm taking classes that benefit me, and not me paying to benefit the school. I'm also trying to stay positive about everything that happens because I asked for this, and now I will accept it.
Speaking of asking for new things, I guess I'm in the stages of getting those new things. As I said earlier, my laptop was pretty much useless when I dropped it off, and on yesterday, my TV died. Completely. I turned it off, and it never came back on. But, I'm not terribly upset. I had been complaining about both, you know, being increasingly ungrateful and what-not, and now I have neither. I'm feeling like in order to honestly need something, you have to be without something. I had been trying to find ways of asking God for a new television and laptop for awhile, but I didn't honestly need either. My laptop still worked and my TV still had a somewhat clear picture. So I was thankful for that. And I didn't want to go to God with a list like Santa Claus and waste his time on my petty grievances. Looks like He's beginning to work things out for me anyway, since now I honestly do need both. And if I do receive both I'll be thankful, not for the possessions but for the fact that the Lord heard me even when I didn't know what to say.
This week was a great week in history that gave me pride. I try not to have pride about a lot because I heard somewhere that being too prideful could be a bad thing, and because I haven't read enough about that, I just keep it on hold before I take a stance. However, I feel like these achievements can't be taken away now. This transcends being black, or liberal, or Democrat. This is history being made. And no matter how many times it has been said, we all know now that we can do anything we set our minds to. I feel pride that my vote helped changed the world and helped make history.
I do apologize that this was more a journal entry, as compared to a blog of some importance or stated opinion. I'm just trying to get my timing under control, and do things that takes advantage of all that time. Thank you for reading, and I promise I'm not neglecting my responsibilities here (improving the quality of my writing and the practice of getting out my thoughts). I'm just working with limited resources at the moment. If you can, keep my in your prayers and I'll return the favor. Until next time, feel the pride that's going around, and don't be a failure. Really, there's no reason you should be anymore.
