As previously mentioned, I signed up for a Federal Income Tax class & it was quite the experience. The prof was terrible....he would talk & then loose his train of thought....look around the class as if he expected us to jog his memory & then picked up where he left off. Then when he was looking for statutes in the case book, "....uhh....where is that statute?....I know it's around here somewhere....uhh....oh there it is. Now what was I saying....?" Putting up with that for 14 weeks was not gonna happen. Dropped it like a very hot potato. So here are some of the classes I'll be taking: Gender and the Law, Business Associations, Appellate Advocacy.
The Gender & the Law prof is so passionate about the stuff she's talking about it's almost like having a baptist minister at the pulpit. Love it. For App. Ad. we get to write a brief and then argue it in front of a panel of judges, profs, or upper class students. Everyone says it's the most time consuming class ever but it's mandatory so I'll just have to deal. The work study interview went fine. I'm sick & tired of interviewing so for now I'm done. Oh wait....I'll be out of town for a job fair this weekend. Let me rephrase: after this weekend, I am done interviewing. Now that I think about it, doing nothing next summer is sounding more & more appealing. Bumming. Has a nice ring to it don't you think?!
In the midst of all this, I managed to watch "The Shooter." Thoroughly enjoyed it. I found this $5 blockbuster gift card when I was unpacking things into my new apartment. So off I went to Blockbuster & at checkout....bam....I broke out the gift card. Turned out it only had a $.68 balance! I guess I had used it before & since the balance was so little, I had discarded it...but not in the trash. Knew it was too good to be true.
Update: I got an offer from my work study interview. I have until 8/28 to accept or decline it.
