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.

Getting Ready for Law School
Sorry that I haven't written in a while but since my fiance and I are going to bed each night at 10 and waking up before 630 each morning. So it is difficult to remember even though I have some spare time. The semester is going good. I'm keeping up with my readings and trying to keep the house clean most of the time. I NEED MY FIANCE (YES YOU BABY) TO HELP OUR MORE OFTEN AND BE MORE PROACTIVE IN PUTTING THINGS WHERE THEY GO.LOL. We got a new dog yesterday, not a puppy. She is 1 and a half years and is a boxer. Hopefully things will workout well. She seems minutely aggressive but her and Chesney are getting along well as of now. Oh, and her name is Paisley. Paisley and Chesney. Oh, Chesney is our first that we got from the pound around a year ago. He is pretty much a Golden Retriever and hyper as hell.

Finally Friday
It's been a while since the last post but anyway. Right now I'm sitting in my first class of the day and only two more to go. I have some family drama but I'm not too worried about it. More later

Saturday's Events
Hi, today I woke up early if you go on my schedule, around 12. Started to eat breakfeast when I felt a breeze on my foot at the kitchen counter. After looking for it, found it behind the washing machine. The hole that the pipes go down had no insulation at all and I could see light at the bottom so I got to work. I cleaned up the mess under there and got my tools out. I banged the base board up because it would not stay otherwise, stuffed some old clothes around the pipes for insulation, and went to the back porch and got one of the boards I sawed off the entertainment center for a cover. Hammered that on and was done. After that, went to the living room, pulled off the blinds where they needed to be fixed, fixed them, then I fixed the plastic on the same windows for insulation.
Next, Kaitlyn made me lunch, then football. Both the teams I wanted to win lost. I went to Kmart at the end of the first game to get a table runner to cover up the sawed spots on the entertainment center, a cable splitter, and a shower curtain. I also did my money order for one of my crediters.
I tried to fix the cable going to the media room because the LCD TV would not work but I failed and need to get the cable company to do it.
Now I am watching ratatouile and relaxing before bed.
