Four out of five ain't bad

So I got all the classes that I wanted, but did not get the professor I wanted for criminal procedure. So I suppose it is more like 4.5/5. So next year I'll be taking:

- Adv. Constitutional Law Teaching Fellowship (3 credits) - (see the Marshall-Brennan program described below)
- National Security Law in the Age of Terrorism (3 credits) - Patriot Act, NSA surveillance, enemy combatants, etc.
- Criminal Procedure (3 credits)
- Lobbying/Legislative Process (2 credits)
- Legal History (3 credits)
= 14 credits

The "standard load" here is 14 credits. We are required to take at least 12, but cannot take more than 16 without special permission. I was actually really torn between IP law (the substantive class that will make me $$, but is offered every semester) and National Security Law in the Age of Terrorism (which may never be offered again, but has little practical value).

Yeah, no contest. ;-)

Oh, and I'm now almost to Weathertop. I've come 232 miles since I started keeping track back in January, averaging about 2.4 miles/day. Not what I had planned, but not bad. All I have to do is walk about 9 miles/day every day for the rest of the semester and I'll make it to Rivendell before the semester is over.

Right, and I'm going to update my blog consistently and frequently.
