First, I just got my lottery results for Spring Semester. During the Spring, we are required to take the second half of Legal Research and Writing, plus Constitutional Law and Property Law. We also get two electives. The ones I was able to get into are Evidence and International Law. So that should be a pretty good (but difficult and busy!) spring.
Tomorrow night is the PILA (Public Interest Law Association) Auction. Apparently, it's basically like law school Homecoming. Harmon (my criminal law professor) is one of the auctioneers, so that should be entertaining. I'm going out to dinner with a small group of people beforehand, so it will be a fun evening.
It's hard to believe that it's almost Thanksgiving, since it was still 80 degrees until about two weeks ago. And, since Thanksgiving is right around the corner, that means so are finals! YIKES. I really need to get on outlining.
Soon we can start applying for summer jobs, also. I'm thinking that I'm going to wait to send resumes until after finals are done. What good is it to worry about finding a job if you tank your exams?
I also was just appointed as Secretary for the Legal Assistance Society (LAS), which is the umbrella organization for such pro bono projects as Migrant Farmworker Project, Virginia Income Tax Project (helping the poor complete their tax returns -- I can't wait to help with that one in the spring!), Domestic Violence Project, etc. So that should be a good way to meet more people and get more involved with various projects, especially since the MFP season has ended.
I think that's about it for the news around here. Back to studying Contracts...
