P90X Day 4

Today was yoga. I never new yoga was hard. The session was an hour and twenty five minutes but 45 minutes in, he says if you had trouble, you can choose to stop now, so I did because I will work up to it slowly. And I'm still soar from the first day and yesterday. Plus I chopped trees down at Meme's house yesterday

P90X Day 3

Day 3 was Shoulders and Arms. Not too bad, long, but not too bad until it was time for Ab Ripper X. That killed me. I'm still sore from the first day.

P90X Day 2

Just finished day 2 of P90X. I don't think my body was finished recuperating from day 1 (Chest and Back). Today was Plyometrics (jumping and squats) and it was killer. I am going to do my 36 minute run tonight instead of earlier. My fiance surprised me when she jumped up and started doing it with me. I am proud of her. She must have been bored lol

Waitlisted at Carolina

Yep, got waitlisted at Carolina this week. I'm gonna hold out and try to get some Aumni to call in for me. Maybe that will work.

Obama

It just hit me today that the reason there are no tall buildings in D.C. is because it would make it easier for assassinations to take place.

Carolina Committed?

I am still waiting on my decision from University of North Carolina School of Law. At this point, I want to be accepted but I would take anything just to know. It has been months since I submitted my application. Everyday I check the mail hoping to see something but also not to see something because if I get a letter from them, it is 99% a rejection. I have my financial aid from Campbell School of Law but they are all loans and $20,000 more than Carolina. I just want to hear something soon. If I do not hear anything before March 25th, I have to decide on Campbell because my seat deposit has to be in before close of business on April 1st which means I may be forced on choosing Campbell by default.

Reverse Racism?

Are kidding me, racism is defined as hatred or contempt against a race other than your own. So reverse racism actually means hatred to yourself. Regardless of who you are, racism is racism is racism. If you are black and hate Mexicans, you are racist. If you are white and hate black people you are racist. However, if you are white and hate white people, you are now a reverse racist. Get the picture? So now to my bigger point.

I am white, but because I am white does not mean I am naturally any better than any other race. I was born to a very low class family and was worse off than probably 85% of minorities. But because of my skin color, I am perceived to be better able to pay for college? It's not racism, it is discrimination. I do not know why people feel we need to reparate minorities for hardships. First, it was not them who were enslaved and I didn't do it. Second, the school bus passed right pass everyone's house just as mine. The only difference is my parents made me get on and stressed the need of an eduacation and I believed in it.

Here is an example of discrimination I am speaking of. I am waiting for all of my acceptance letters for law school. I have been accepted to Campbell School of Law. There is a Social Networking Website that connects law school hopefuls called lawschoolnumbers.com. My LSAT score is a 154 and a GPA of 3.43. There is a URM on there with the same LSAT score but a 3.5 GPA. He/She received $48,000 in scholarships and I received 0. Does that .07 of a GPA really account for $48,000? That is the entire tuition, living expenses, and books for a private school. I feel discouraged and helpless because of my skin color. Sometimes I wish I was born black, it would be easier.
