Back Home For Christmas!

Yes that's right I'm back home in Atlanta for the Christmas Holidays! Let me first let you all know that I finished the semester with a 3.1 GPA!! (YAY!!!) I had am AMAZING first semester at Benedict College and I'm looking forward to a great second semester. I'll be working on 19 credit hours!! (YIKES!!) But hey I'm Raymond Forte and I can do ALL things through Christ who STRENGTHENS me!! 

There's not really a lot to talk about today, BUT I have a short Christmas list! 

ALL I want for Christmas is a G1 Mobile Phone and a Apple Mac Laptop with a webcam!! (lol) If I get those two gifts, I'll be set for LIFE!!! I have pretty busy weekend coming up so I'll be keeping you all posted on how my weekend went! 

Well I must leave you all but I can't leave without a hot song. Here is one of the greatest Hip-Hop artist of the 90s. He released an album this year called "The Renaissance" and he was a part of the hip-hop group "A Tribe Called Quest"

Did this really happen????

So, it is 4:30 p.m. Tuesday December 9th, 2008. I see my roommate who is leaving home for that day. He's a cool dude (I thought at the time when I met him), he's respectful, yadda, yadda , yadda. He tells me that he's leaving for home, which is New Jersey, and I'm like cool. I had to go to a Christmas Social and I had to go to the Benedict College Gospel Choir Social which was held in Starks Hall.

I go to the Christmas Social in the Swinton Center around 6:20, pray over the food, eat and enjoy my classmates. Once I left the Swinton Center, I went to the BCGC Social in Starks. Around 8:15, I felt like I had to leave, I mean, I already ate, I'm kinda tired and I just want to sit in my bed and have time to myself. So I leave the social and head back to my room, and I saw that my LAPTOP WAS STOLEN! (DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Yep, you saw it right, my laptop was taken out of my room to God knows where. I think that he did it being that he was the last person in the room and the door wasn't forced in. Plus, all of the guys who know him says that he is a cold-hearted thief. I was DEEPLY hurt because it had songs, sermons, work and (sigh) pics from my first semester. But I'm not going to trip. I let my homey Kaos know and he was just as pissed as I was. These things happen for a reason so I have to trust God in situations like this.

So that's the deal with me but I still have my head held high! I'm going home this Sunday and I can't wait to spend time with family and friends this Christmas. I'll be back in Columbia, SC for New Year's and the school is back in action on January 9th. I'm out for now!

This time I want to leave you all with a Old School Classic!

First Semester, Mission Accomplished

So the first semster is officially over and DONE!!! I'm going home Dec. 14th and I'm so excited!! I hope my GPA is above a 3.0 so that scholarships knock at my door next year!

So now I'll just be on chill mode until that day comes. The school will have its last party of the semester and I think I'll be attending that dance. I'm going to miss my friends over the break but I'll see them in two weeks so its not that long.

So I'll be going to sleep now to prepare for my Freshman Composition final in the morning and I'll be on chill mode until the party later on tomorrow evening! Good Night!!

Oh yeah, I have to leave you all with a song! This song is one of my FAVORITE songs of 2008 by a great artist straight out of Chicago!
