First things first, I really need to clarify one of my previous entries. I would have done this earlier, but…time is scant. I wasn’t totally ditched by my group two Wednesdays ago. Heather did forget to send me her work. However, Lisa did send me her work…at 1:30am. That was the reason I was able to go on and finish it up, then go to sleep. I ( Read more... )

All right, I’m running on about four hours of sleep. Let’s see if I can make any coherent observations today. The article for discussion today dealt with Waffle House racism. Some of Waffle House’s employees at one of its southern locations has been refusing to serve blacks, becoming verbally abusive when forced to serve them, and intentionally ( Read more... )

Today’s article was about possible racism in the Thomasville County School System. One of the members of the school board also owns a daycare that will pick its enrolled children up after school and take them to the daycare facilities where they are taken care of until their parents can take them home. Allegedly, whoever drives the daycare van ( Read more... )

We discussed an interesting article today in Law. A woman who worked for Piedmont Management Association was fired earlier this month because she refused to get an abortion. She was having medical examinations done to see about getting a hysterectomy when the doctors discovered that she was pregnant. Her boss wasn’t aware of that she was ( Read more... )

I know I say this every semester, but if I can just make through this semester, it’ll be smooth sailing. Now, I say that less convincingly, but anything that can get me through this semester is a God-send ( Read more... )

Today in Business Law, we spent all most the entirety of class discussing a couple of articles. Both articles focused on racism. The first article presented was about African-American persons not being selected for jury duty. I don’t want to get into quoting statistics, simply because that’s often where I start losing focus, but Dr. B-A did cite ( Read more... )

Employment Law was my very first class as a graduate student. I got up bright and early today at 6:30am to be sure I could be at class at 8:00am. The class itself seems like it’s going to be very interesting to say the least. It kind of reminds me of Dr. Dan’s class discussion we had every Friday for that week’s addition of Newsweek. However, ( Read more... )

I lost a day. Originally, may plan was to move back to school today, but discovering an grad student orientation was scheduled for this morning forced me to move back yesterday ( Read more... )

I get to move back to school on Monday. I’ve been so ready to go back, but reluctant at the same time. Namely, I’ve been reluctant to leave my Dad. I don’t like the notion of his coming home to an empty house every day and spending the rest of the evening all alone. I feel better knowing that he’s made some plans for himself. For instance, the ( Read more... )

I never thought I’d be doing this, but I’ve actually been wearing my college ring this week. It’s an easier way to show off that I’ve finally graduated without carrying my diploma with me every where I go. What’s odd is that some days the ring will fall off all on its own, and other days I feel like I’ll have to saw off my finger to take off the ( Read more... )
