I am getting my first package
A little birdy told me I am getting my frist package on Wed. Hey, ask and you shall recieve, you can't argue with that!The more important thing is this package is unsolicited. It comes from a caring soul who happened to see that I am in need and chose to come to my rescue, so I am very thankful for that.
I am happier than you know.
Others have asked what else to send, so I will give you more ideas: graham crackers; granola bars; animal crackers; Chunky soup (no pork please); cans of soda; canned vegetables- spinach, greens, corn; trail mix; cheese crackers; dried fruit- raisins, apricots, pineapples, banana chips; flavored tuna- sweet & spicy, in sunflower oil, you all get the point!

S-O-S
Rescue me! This is my general plea during my FINALS period. First and foremost, pray for me. Ask God to give me recall and stamina. I dread the forthcoming two weeks. Second, for any of you that wish to send a care package allow me to provide my address :-). I thank you in advance.What to send, well whatever you like it is all appreciated. (Microwave popcorn, no-doz, beef jerky, canned fruit, nuts, tuna in the packet, crackers, cracker-jacks etc.).
So, here it goes...

A little legalese
BlockbustingFor profit to induce or attempt to induce any person to sell or rent any dwelling by representations regarding the entry or prospective entry into the neighborhood of a person or persons of a particular race, color, religion, or national origin."
For instance, a real estate broker tells a white family "darkies are coming" and the white family sells slightly lower than the market rate in order to avoid the impending bottoming of the housing market because minorities are coming. However, the real estate broker now sells to a minority family but at a higher than normal rate making claims that the neighborhood is integrating and the high price is the surcharge one pays to move in an integrated neighborhood.
The real estate agent is performing market arbitrage and keeps all profits. Needless to say such actions are now illegal 42 USC Sec. 3604(e).

Election time at the law school
The Black Law Student Association (BLSA) will host elections soon. The nomination process is complicated. Anyone may be nominated for any position. The nomination must be seconded and the nomination must be accepted by the nominee. Thus far, I have been nominated and seconded for the position of president and vice-president.I think I will accept the post of vice-president. There was another gentleman nominated. I wish him well.
The post of VP is very encompassing. The VP runs the general body meeting and plans the BLSA banquet. I think I have the skills to do both. I have run many YD meetings and planned numerous events, I think the position is a good compliment for me.

Light hearted
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thawout during a particularly icy winter. They planned to
stay at the same hotel where they spent their
honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic
schedules,it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules.
So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on
Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel. There was a
omputer in his room, so he decided to send an email to
his wife. However, he accidentally left out one
letter in her email address, and without realizing his
error, sent the email. Meanwhile, somewhere in
Houston, a widow had just returned home from her
husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called
home to glory following a heart attack.
The widow decided to check her email expecting
messages from relatives and friends. After reading the
first message, she screamed and fainted. The
widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on
the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: October 16, 2004
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have
computers here now and you are allowed to send emails
to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been
checked in. I see that everything has been prepared
for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing
you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine
was.
P.S. Sure is freaking hot down here!
