Last Monday was Presidents day and the History Department here at YHC had a guest speaker who wrote a book on Abraham Lincoln called The House of Abraham and it talks about his In-Laws. The author of the book made some very interesting points and I look forward to reading the book.
The Oscars were last night (Sunday) and some of the awards went to the film and actor who deserved it the most like Heath Ledger winning for his role as the Joker in The Dark Night. It was sad to see his parents accept his award. Also I liked that the show did not become a politically inspired show.
Spring Break is in two weeks and I cannot wait however these next two weeks are going to drag on.
Also tomorrow is Fat Tuesday. I am debating what I should give up for Lent.
That is it for me at the moment.

V-Day and President's Day
This past Saturday was Valentine's Day also known as single awareness day. I really had nothing planned except I went driving. The state of Georgia is paying for me to take driving lessons at no cost to me. A person from a company comes up here and we spend the day driving we went to Blue Ridge and Elijay and it was a lot of fun how ever Saturday night was kind of depressing since I was the only person in my posse that does not have a valentine. Which I am currently working on having a girl friend.
In other news Today Monday February 16th is President's Day. One of my friends gave me an idea that I should run for President of the US someday and I thought he was joking but I am taking his idea seriously because I am really into politics and this country has a lot of problems and I am crazy enough to fix them. I have always wanted to do something for my community and I like to help others.
I got an A on a math test and now that I think I finally got the Math down I can concentrate on other classes more.

Play Time Is Over!
Making the Dean's List is kind of like a Movie Trilogy where the standards are high so the next movie has to be better. College is the same way as I have said over and over again I made the Dean's List last semester and I will make that list again. I bombed a test last week and I am not too happy with myself as I have said I have been concentrating on Math because I want to pass that class. I plan to talk to my teacher about my grade in the class and ask him what I need to do to get an A in the class. I will get an A even if it means that I have to go Insane. This is going to sound a little strange but when I am doing school work I consider myself to be a Army General fighting a war and if I get the grades in the class I want then I have won the war. Now I have decided that play time is over Instead of making time for homework I need to make time for playing around. I know this is kind of random but when JFK was shot Lyndon B. Johnson said "I will do my best that is all I can do I will need your help and Gods." That is one of my favorite quotes of all time and I will try to do my best and I will pass math and make the Dean's List.
In other news I am applying to be an RA next year and I hope I get the job.

College
College has been the best experience of my life and last Semester changed my life forever. I came to Young Harris not knowing what to expect and I loved being in the mountains during the fall. I favorite classes were Zell Miller's and New Testament. I had to drop out of math because I could not handle it and I am retaking the course and I will do what ever it takes to pass the class. I made a lot of new friends and my family was very proud of me getting to college with my disability
My room mate and I got along fine but as the semester went on I noticed that he stopped going to classes and he was just living in my room like a hotel. One day I walked in on him selling drugs and I did not know what to do. I thought about just waiting until the end of the semester because he said he would not be back. I also thought that this drug thing was a one time deal but he kept selling it in front of me until he told me that he has been doing it since the beginning of school. I had it because I did not want to get expelled I called my sisters and asked what should I do. One told me to wade it out and the other told me to turn him in. I called my dad and he told me to turn him in and that was the first of November when this all went down and I was living alone until Christmas Break. I have a new room mate now and we get along fine. He is about the nicest person I know. From what I went through last semester I kind of lost the room mate touch because I did not want to go through that again.
As I have said before I made the Dean's List last semester and the expectations are set and they are higher then ever.
In the end it was family and friends that supported me and this experience made me realize that no matter what happens family and friends will always be there for me. It also made me realize that I have to be careful who I be friends with.
