12/18 - A Recollection Of KYRisma
I was supposed to post this yesterday, but here it is .... I'M BACK!!!!! And I'm feeling too good right now. I'm home for winter break and I have more time to chill with people I didn't during Thanksgiving Break. As you all know, I do my blog posts to music. So I'm listening to Lupe Fiasco's Enemy of the State: A Love Story mixtape. He went in on this one, for real.
Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 19 years old, and I thank GOD for allowing me to be on this Earth for 19 years and hopefully more if he allows. I'm glad for everything he has done for me and continues to do for me. Even though, I didn't do anything yesterday. I'm glad I'm home. Thanks for everyone showing me love for the phone calls, FB messages and wall posts, text messages and everything. I appreciate it truly.
First semester @ HU was ... an ADJUSTMENT! But I believe I had a solid 1st Semester. But I know what I need to do to get at least a 3.7-3.8 GPA. Focus more, more effort, and concentration. Loved English, hated Math. Humanities was okay, Oral Communications was overall, decent. Loved the speeches though. Bowling was just what is was, bowling. I refuse to talk about University class, just like all the other freshmen don't. LOL .... But 2nd Semester will be better, because not only will I know what to expect. I've become a lot more wiser and smarter. And I know how to spend my free time.
Winter break will be spent with family and friends. Christmas will be enjoyable, because it will be my first one as a VISITOR (who lives out of a suitcase now, lol). Being away @ school has made me a better person and I'm glad I chose to be more than 3 or 4 hours away. Also, being 19 years old, I've realized that I've be come a wiser, and more knowledgeable person. I've seen the world in a larger perspective and have interacted with people from different regions of the world. So I've learned from them, just as they have learned from me.
UPDATE: In one of my earlier posts, I alluded to the fact that I wanted to start a blog with one of my friends. Well, one of the friends ended up being two friends. So, we as in three people, are starting a blog next semester, where we will chop it up on any and everything. Sports, relationships, college life, family, being a young African-American male in college with high expectations, politics and other things. The title of the blog will be called "The Triumvirate of Realism." The Triumvirate includes myself, my friend Jeremiah Carter, and my other friend, QT8 President Isaiah Stewart. Hopefully, it will go live at the start of second semester. More details on that on another post.
But, I'm getting out of her. Momz wants me to go to the grocery store because its starting to snow. You know us. Bernie Mac (RIP) put it best when he was talking about Y2K in The Original Kings of Comedy, "White man told you it was the end of the world, ya'll went out and bought bottled water, potted meat, sammiches." LOL .... But I'll holla at ya'll lata....... PEACE!!!
