signing up for classes
Apr. 11th, 2007 09:26 ami had course registration this morning...i got most of my classes, but i'm frustrated.
i'm still really, really mad about negotiation. i clicked on it...and waited...and waited...and after chugging around for about half a minute, my computer returned a "database error." i knew i was screwed, but i tried again. it chugged away for about fifteen seconds...and then proceeded to tell me that i was twenty-second on the wait list. TWENTY-SECOND. at about 7:32 a.m. twenty-second on the wait list. if it hadn't been for that database error, i'd probably be in the class, and not have to worry about the wait list. i'm really, really mad at webstac for that one.
i did get the rest of the classes i wanted, though. i am currently signed up for:
i hope i get into negotiation, though. i only want to take 12 credits next spring, which means i have to take 16 in the fall. if i don't get negotiation, i'm only taking 15, which means i can't minimize the schoolwork i have to do my last semester in law school. that would be suboptimal.
one thing i am considering is switching around a little bit...maybe dropping ethics of civil litigation and replacing it for a three-credit class. but, if i did that, i'd probably have too many finals...i'll already have a final for CJA 2 (probably, anyway...the course guide doesn't say, but i'm assuming that it's a final-exam class), a final for trusts and estates, and an eight-hour take-home for incarceration. my finals week next semester is going to be extremely unpleasant anyway. actually, i think next semester is going to be pretty unpleasant...my classes are going to be pretty interesting, but i'm going to be doing a lot of work. and, i know myself too well...no matter how hard i try, i burn out on doing work really, really early in the semester, and it all becomes a chore.
alright, now that i've outed myself to the entire interwebs as a lazy bum, i'm off to CJA...a class that proves the point i just made. it's fascinating, it's interesting...and i'm two months behind in the reading.

i did get the rest of the classes i wanted, though. i am currently signed up for:
- Trusts and Estates with Moore (yeah, i know it's an 8am class...but it's going to be the funniest class in law school. i won't miss it, even for a terrible schedule time.)
- CJA 2 with Goldwasser
- Incarceration with Schlanger
- Advanced Trial with Newman (note: if i blather a lot about med mal next semester, this class will be why. it's a med mal themed advanced trial class.)
- Practical Ethics of Civil Litigation with Bresnahan
- Wiley Rutledge Moot Court (yes, i know. i posted here before that you were all supposed to slap me if i ever insinuated that i would do a moot court again. but...my moot-court-aficionado friends--i'm looking at you, Roxy and Katie!--were so right. brief writing blows, but oral arguments are like crack. yes, there will be lots of bitching next fall when i'm writing that brief. but, the oral argument was so much fun, and i'm officially hooked.)
