I'm going to be a lawyer!

No, the title is not a quote from an Ace Attorney game. XD As of today, I am officially on-track for a major in Legal Studies. I talked to my (new) adviser, and he was so kind and helpful. Unlike the Pamplin College of Suck, he actually treated me like a person and not some anonymous unit forced into his office out of obligation. Beyond talking about what classes I need to take and where I should be by the end of next semester, he seemed like he just honestly wanted to get to know me and welcome me to the department. I'm so excited! I really think this is going to work out for me. I'm genuinely excited by a lot of the classes on the Graduation Check Sheet and think it'll be a good fit. I like the technical aspects of the law, but I also appreciate that there's room for debate and thoughtful thinking. There's no such thing in Economics. Markets clear, and that's all you need to know. XD

My tentative schedule is a nightmare though. D: On Fridays I have four straight hours of class with no breaks whatsoever, and I personally think that's a lot. With German being the exception, my class are comprised of two 75-minute lectures and one 50-minute recitations on Fridays. I have no idea what one does in recitation, especially in a lecture class where most of what you do is just read the textbook and show up to class, but alas, it seems I'm destined to find out. The courses I put in for request are:

GER-2106 - Intermediate German
PHIL-1204 - Knowledge and Reality
PHIL-1304 - Morality and Justice
PSCI-1024 - Comp Gov & Politics
PSCI-2014 - Intro to Political Theory

Also, for the record, I'm doing exceedingly well in school this time around. (Oh gosh... I hope I didn't just jinx myself.) XD I have a 102% in Introduction to Political Science and a 100% in German. The other class haven't given me any midterm grades yet, but my exam results have been pretty good, so I'm not terribly worried.

On top of all that, today was just a really good day. I'm getting along well with Stephanie at the moment, the weather is sunny and happy again, I was really school oriented and driven to do my work today (Which means less work to do tomorrow!), and I dragged my backside all the way over to ABP and had a delicious cucumber and brie sandwich for dinner. The only thing I can possibly complain about is the lack of Strawberry Parfaits at DX, and that's about it. XD

Anyways, sorry for this obligatory and boring school post. I just wanted to make it clear that I won't be contemplating throwing myself in the Duckpond ever again. If I keep my good work ethic up, at least. XD


Love,

Popo
