gBlog - How we see it …

Hello Blog Readers!

I spent the weekend at home in Warren, Ohio, and I must say it was a good weekend. I had some difficulties, but I managed to get through most of it, and I had a wonderful weekend, spending time with the people who mean most to me (the list includes my parents, sister, girlfriend, and some friends). I was home for less than twenty-four hours, and the cause of that was because I had to catch an early train Sunday morning, so I stayed at a friend’s house overnight Saturday night (She lives two and a half hours away). Overall, I thought it was a good weekend. I was surprised when I came back to D.C., as there was snow EVERYWHERE! It is not common for D.C. to get a lot of snow, but I took advantage of the amount of snow and we had a snowball fight, which was a lot of fun! I will post the pictures of the snow at the end of the blog.

I feel I need to dedicate this blog to my mother, who is a very hard-working woman. My mother is a wonderful woman who wants the best for everyone in our family. She has done a lot for us, and three years ago, when my mother mentioned she wanted to go back to school to receive her Master’s degree, we supportd her every step of the way. I was proud of my mom, going back to school getting a Master’s degree in Social Work. It was hard for her at the beginning, balancing work, family, and school; but she was able to get through it, and last weekend was her last weekend of school. My mother went to school once a weekend a month at Case Western Reserve University, and she will be graduating this May. I cannot wait to see her graduate, because it means a lot, not only to her, but to me as well, because she is an excellent role model for children, as she followed her goals and reached them. My mother deserves the very best, and I want to commend her on her recent success.

Now, I know I have went off the subject a lot in this blog, but I felt that it was neccessary to praise my mom for her hard work, as it is finally paying off. This shows me that you can be successful in anything you want if you work hard and do your best. This goes for everyone, and no one should set their own limits, as there are none.

Okay, enough praise to my mother. Now back to me and my busy life at Gallaudet. I am taking six classes this semester, with the maximum-allowed nineteen credits. It is a lot of work, but it is worth it, and in the end, it will pay off too. I like this challenge, as I am able to learn more about myself and experience new things. Also, taking up six classes (which are History, Intro to Psychology, Precalculus, English, Public Speaking, and Linguistics) help me broaden my intelligence; which is neccessary for college students. This has been a tough, yet great experience so far, and I must say I enjoy it.

As you can see, I do not have much going on in my life, as I am busy with coursework and homework. I am pretty much occupied with homework, but it keeps me out of trouble and focused on school. That is the main reason for me having a lot of classes. I will post again later in the week, so be prepared to read something!

Yours truly,

Greg

P.S. Here are the pictures I promise I’d post!
This was a picture I took outside of D.C. on my way back Sunday afternoon.

This was just outside D.C. when I arrived. Beautiful, isn’t it?
