One Down, One To Go
Yesterday was officially my last class of the first fall term. I had a candid conversation…well, candid is a strong term. I had a good conversation with my professor before class started. She tol...
Oh THAT Teacher
Back in the days when I had the fun classes, there were about 3 ladies that took the class I’m taking now. One of the girls has some kind of issues and the teacher seemed to be kind of hard on he...
I'm Gonna Miss You When I'm Gone
So, that last minute writing assignment I worked on yesterday turned out to be some damn fine writing. I turned it in yesterday afternoon with today’s date on it and emailed it saying “Final Copy...
That Was Easy
Well, relatively speaking. Last night we went to the university’s library and had some personal time with the reference materials there for an assignment. At first I didn’t know what I was doing....
New Campus
School begins next week. This particular class, Methods of Legal Research and Writing will last all semester even though they’ve broken it down into two classes. I am unfamiliar with the main ca...
I Continue
Well, I am constantly excelling. Professor talked about the midterm briefly. We will go over it next week because not everyone showed up for class today. He said that the highest grade was 100 p...
I Think...
Another “A” is on the horrizon for me. Prof. Dunne was fun, but the work was unbearable. Prof. Homes takes us slow, but he is a damn good teacher and he’s fun. He also said he’s not going to trea...
Ugh...
So I tried to register for spring classes today. I’ve already resigned myself to the idea that I will be going to the main campus for my next round of classes. However, something is going screwy ...
Three Page Paper
Professor will be lucky if he gets that. LOL The subject matter is entirely based upon opinion, but it is “Are criminal laws too lenient and afford those accused of crimes too many rights?” Truth...
Criminal Procedure
Sitting in class, waiting for it to start. In walks classmate from the last class we had. We talked about the last quiz and come to find we both got the same answer wrong because we were thinking...
So Far From The Last Entry
This class is great. I’m getting a feel of some of the documents I’d be dealing with as a paralegal, but also I am really enjoying my teacher. I did a good job on the complaint drafting assignmen...
I Never Felt So Dumb
I had to remember my own advice to my son: ASK YOUR TEACHER. That’s a problem with smart people. We think we know every damn thing and when we don’t, we don’t want to look stupid so we act like ...
This Class Is Cool
Civil Litigation. Got my first writing assignment. I’m a little worried. But it’s all practice so this is me getting my hands on training. One thing I feel when I’m in classes is that no matter h...
Almost Ready
Since I will have to take half a day off of work…I think I will round up some change and park at a meter. I’m just saying. I don’t have any extras and I know I asked for a parking pass. Waiting o...
In Other News
Here’s a bit of a reason to smile. I’m off academic probation. Now I don’t have to be scared. I know I can defeat this. lol
::ahem:: Announcement
I thought my final grade was a C+. I EARNED AN A fuckin MINUS!!! I am ecstatic! I would like to thank YOU person (you know who you are) for helping with my paper. I used the first two paragraphs ...
In The Clear
The title says it all. It also lit a fire under my ass to continue and apply for scholarships and grants where I can. I need all the free money I can get. I’m about to have a child in college soo...
Some Good, Some Bad
Midterm went better than expected. My overall grade is a “B”. Feeling more confident. The teacher said that this class was basically a junior/senior class (I guess Advance Topics in Law was a clu...
Almost There...
Just finished the T/F & mulitple choice 50 questioned test. All I have left are the two essay questions. I can be an eloquent speaker/writer from time to time, but that’s when I have a clue (...
He Said, He Lied
He said there will be nothing on the test that we haven’t talked about. I’ve already found like 4 answers from several chapters we haven’t discussed. As long as it’s in the form that it’s in, I’m...
If I Had Known It Was Coming From Malaysia...
These books are getting on my nerves. Week two and I still had no book. Never mind the fact that I ordered it LAST TUESDAY with expedited shipping. The day after I ordered the book, I get a Fed ...
Sounds Boring Enough
This will be short because I have, a little over half and hour for the rest of my work day. Logged into the university website, my final course grade was a B+. I’m stoked. Calling my mom to tell ...
Different Screams
Happy Screams that is! I passed my final with another B to my name. Monday I start my new class, Advance Law Topics. Wonder what the topics are. I wonder if I will have Judge Edwards as my teache...
Update
When we got to class and everyone was there, we went over the test. Two of the questions she acknowledged were messed up and then my classmate Brian and I both told her about the first question. ...
Bless The Lord
After all that belly aching I got an 80% on my midterm exam! 240 out of 300 pts. I have an extra 10 points from somewhere, but I will still need to have a pow wow with the teacher about those que...
