The Great White Hype-Revisited
Wow.
I looked back at my last journal article and just went wow. On initial thought, I was going to delete it but then decided not to because at that time, those were my true and honest feelings and for the most part, still are. However I want to follow up by saying I was wrong by saying that every white male I meet is a certain way. That was wrong. Many of them are. Hell most of them are but there are some good ones and I don't want to discount them because I know I wouldn't want someone to lump me in a category with every bitchy black woman.
I started my first week of school on monday and to say that I am absolutely livid with my school would be an understatement. Yesterday I spent 8 hours standing in the financial aid line only to be greeted with a bad attitude from a woman who told me that no counselor would speak to me. I went to the student affairs office and the woman there told me I was certainly not the first or the last person to complain. I had some other people call in and complain as well. The good news of the week is that I did get an assistantship so that's a little extra money as well. As soon as my other money comes in, I will be able to afford a new car. How exciting is that? LOL I am looking forward to my freedom. I miss it so much. Especially now since I am back on campus and remember what it was like in undergrad and having that freedom to come and go as you please without question. I am working on a small financial plan to get myself in working order by the end of the year so that I can start eliminating some debt. This will make it easier for me to move out when I graduate school.
I don't really have much to say tonight because I am tired and in need of a good long night of sleep. Since I don't have to work tomorrow, I think I will take advantage of the opportunity.
