Law School Discussion

It was the most disorganized, worthless experience that I have ever been involved in EVER!!!  I cannot believe that a law school would conduct itself in such a disheveled, unprofessional manner.  I was completely APPALLED at the absurdities of the entire day.  I am NOT wasting my time by going tomorrow.  I am going to the Pinning Ceremony -- that's it.  The rest of my day will be spent in my air-conditioned apartment.

That being said -- I met some very intelligent people in my section and in my orientation group and was VERY impressed with Assistant Dean/Professor Dark and Dean Schmoke.  Those are the only things that got me through the day today.  I am tempted to be on the Orientation Committee just to try to prevent the atrocity that was disguised as an Orientation today. I have never experienced such a debacle in my entire college careeer (and I have 2 degrees from PWI's).**

**I still love Howard though and I am going to look past the disaster that I experienced today.  I just think that it is sad that HBCU's don't come into the 21st century and conduct business effeciently and expeditiously.  It is ridiculous that our HBCUs have a reputation for having an awful administration when modern technology can prevent all of the DRAMA that I went through today!!!!  It is pathetic and inexcusable!!!  I am PISSED!!!!!

I don't think all of them are.  There is one about parenting as a law student and debt management that I don't plan to go to.  I think I will go to the rest though....it's only an hour.

Congrats Sands!  Evrything always works out.

I cashed in my 401K too and am sitting here biting my nails until the check comes!!!!  Hurry UP!!!!

What about the one drop rule?

So, if everyone with African roots born in America - whether the roots were planted 5 generations or 1 generation ago -- calls themselves African American, does it undermine the culture established by blacks in America?  My cultural identity is completely different than a Nigerian friend of mine whose parents were born in Nigeria, but we both call ourselves African American?

Do my questions make any sense? Probably not (especially now that I am re-reading it) but whatever...

Thnx Blq!

I wish I were on a beach somewhere!!!  I am enjoying my last days -- but I know that I shouldn't get used to having this much sleep!
