Here we go, another blog. Just like last semester these things are getting harder and harder to write. I also haven’t been getting comments, which makes me feel like people aren’t reading this anyway. It’s okay, ill still write it; I need an A in this class. So I’m taking geology and I haven’t been doing the best on the tests, but I finally got a good grade and I’m so happy! I am finally getting the hang of this college thing, and it feels great. The transition between high school and college has been really hard because I actually have to try to get my good grades.
On another topic: JMU this weekend. What the hell happened?! I was on facebook earlier and someone had posted a news article about riots and partygoers at JMU getting tear gassed. Here is the article:

Was anyone there and want to explain to me what went down. I came across a video that was kind of scary. It shows police in riot gear and a huge crowd of people that had a dumpster on fire and something that I can’t make out. Here is the video:

This really makes me sad because it makes college students look dumb and immature. I know majority of college students aren’t like this, but it still sends a bad vibe. If something like this happened at tech, I would be embarrassed to be a Hokie. I do not want to be affiliated with any sort of riots that were a consequence of partying. I understand that students are going to party, but what happened at JMU was over the top and embarrassing. The article from above has a bunch of comments about what happened and a lot of the “townies” are sad about it. They are disappointed at the students that started the entire ruckus. The problem is that most of the people that were in the riots were not from JMU; they didn’t care if they ruined the town, it wasn’t theirs. I know that a lot of people from Tech did end up going up to JMU this weekend and it would make me sad if they were a part of this.
