Where exactly do I stand in terms of race? I walk down the street and I am perceived to be a black man. That is what my exterior shows.

Well, I clearly can't go around saying that I'm white, Hispanic, Indian, or Asian. But ( Read more... )

My Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are usually spent around Angela's friend... we'll call here Melissa.

It's a beautiful thing when you hear your roommate's alarm clock go off at 9AM and watch him rush to class while knowing that I don't have anything to do until 3:30 PMWell, today's my "feel stupid" day. My classes today have people who are way smarter than I am. That's why I like Mondays and Wednesdays. Especially for my math ( Read more... )

To elaborate on my last update, I must first begin with the situation we are in. As of right now, we are in the second week of school here at UM. However, this is only the first full week of classes.
