So as of lately I've felt rather incompetent when it comes to school... not incompetent so much I suppose so much as I just don't put any effort into it I'm sick of all my classes and would just rather be doing anything else. Even the classes I should be exicted about just don't do it for me, even the class that should be an easy A for me, I just

I'm right there with you buddy...except I'm not even doing what I need to get by. It's so apathethic, its like I know I have to do this, I'm gonna do this...and then I don't. But I'm not sick, I just have a job that has been consistently been overworking me for the course load I have.
All I need to do is to pass my classes with good grades, and since I'm dropping one, I can do the work. But I'm not. And then I sit back and wonder why and then suddenly another hour slips by.

Oh, and there were 2 parts to Malcolm X, the militant Malcolm from before he went to Mecca, and the peacful Malcolm from when he returned. Somethign about when he went there and saw all sorts of different colors and cultures of Muslims praying and living together and dealing w/ each other as equals, he saw that people CAN live peacefully together. In a way, its a good UU story b/c its a person changing and growing through faith and humanism.

Malcolm X (then El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz) formed the Organization of Afro-American Unity following his pilgrimage to Mecca. Unlike most of the civil rights organizations of its time, the OAAU would still be a viable force today (had it not disbanded after Malcolm's death), with a very forward thinking purpose, which would easily fit in with current Anti-Racism work.

I would personally say that his autobiography is a must-read. To get a better sense of his later thoughts and ideas and to understand the evolution of his thoughts, read either Malcolm X Speaks, By Any Means Necessary, Malcolm X: The Final Speeches or Malcolm X: the Last Speeches.

before you complain too much...
i got my check for concentric reimbursement on saturday.

I'm just pissed because he won't even tell me what info I need to send him, that e-mail wouldn't take long at all to write. and yeah I understand he's busy, but he also knows I'm a broke ass college student that can't really afford out of pocket expensis.

[wonkothesane42]

you're right. it's real fucked up that's the way things are.

Just thought I'd let you know.
DYSC is doing horribly. Kim had to send out an email berating everyone for not emailing and not getting on their jobs. No one has really yet realized that you and Chris won't be there to make sure everything is taken care of. It's ridiculous. Like I'm doing my best to hold everything together- but I'm just a treasurer. Kealan needs to get on shit. Sean needs to get to work. Nat needs to figure out what all is expected of him and how to do it as no one has ever done it before. Nothing is happening. No one emails. So uck. I'm sorry.
If it makes you feel any better, DYSC is certainly feeling the fact that you are gone and the current lack of leadership. Because you kids were incredible and covered everyone's asses, and now you're gone.
Ok I'm done with my rant.
