Are Black Civil Rights Being Reversed?

Are Black Civil Rights in America being reversed today? Civil rights leaders have been making this claim for the past several years, pointing to education and income statistics, as well as changes in the current administration in the White House. Upon examination of certain trends in today’s society, it is evident that there is indeed [...]

Essay Topic

Thanks to all for the input on my government essay. I selected the civil rights question. I was really tempted to go for the war in Iraq, but finally decided that the civil rights would be a little more of a stretch for me, and its good to be stretched. So, now my reading on [...]

Government Essay

One of the classes I’m taking this summer is on both American and Texas governments. Yes, that’s an aweful lot of material to cover in a mere four weeks. But, so far its been good. My prof is young, but he is passionate about the topic and pushing us to form our own opinions, which [...]

Linear Algebra Friday

I’m studying right now. Or, I guess I should say that I’m having a hard time studying right now. Tomorrow night I have a test in a fairly complex subject, linear algebra. I understand the major concepts of linear algebra, but right now while I should be studying my brain is having a hard time [...]

Non-Sequitur

My summer semester began yesterday, so I don’t have as much free time anymore. Still, I gotta post something, so I’m cramming a lot into this. First, announcing another friend’s blog. Its cool to me how many people are blogging now. Y’all welcome B-Dub’s Girl. See, its called that because she really is B-Dub‘s girl. [...]

Turn

As indicated in my previous note, yesterday wasn’t a very productive day for me. I went home and tried to fucus on Solids, but it wasn’t happening, my head wasn’t in it. Choosing some form of productivity, I cleaned my room, did some laundry then went to bed early. I woke up at 4:30 this [...]

Indiscipline

Remember me posting a few weeks ago about how disciplined I was while studying during the gorgeous spring weather? Well, I have four finals this week and my brain is not engaging. I spent all day yesterday solving equations, and it was really good. Today, I am vapid and unfocused. I’m headed to the library [...]

Finals

My weekend was good. I worked some, caught up on studies, did some laundry, and spent a few hours out on the lake with several friends. I even got to ski for a bit, it was awesome. It felt good to have time at home to catch up on random stuff that needs to get [...]

Sanity

When I wrote on Tuesday, I was about to pop. I had two tests on Wednesday morning, and I had spent almost every waking moment preparing for them for 5 days straight. And the more I studied, the more I realized I needed to know. But, that has passed. I made it through the tests, [...]
