Oh the drama!

Ok, so I'm not actually dead, just have been insanely busy of late ("of late" being the last six weeks or so). The trials and tribulations that I have endured since spring break are more or less summarized below. And yes, there are pictures.

As for right now, I'm sitting in the library (yeah, I know, big surprise), waiting to register for classes, and obsessive-compulsively updating the current-enrollment figures for the classes that I want to take. In particular, I'm fretting about Criminal Procedure, which is the one class that I am required to take next semester. Legend has it that Professor Davis is far and away the best criminal procedure teacher in the school, and consequently, enrollment in the five sections (with a max of 95/section) is currently: 93, 11, 8, 15, 8. Guess which section Davis teaches... yeah, two spots left.

Not getting into Davis' class would be inconvenient, but not devastating. My second-choice is one of the 8s, so I suspect there will be adequate room for me when my turn rolls around.

Oh wait, I haven't explained how the registration process here works have I? Well, each graduating class is divided up into 10 groups by the last digit of their student ID numbers and then put into a lottery for time slots. My slot starts at 5:00 this afternoon and so at 5:00.01, the 45 or so students whose ID numbers end in 7 will frantically vie for position in the registration queue. The issue is probably moot for the other four classes I want to take, but it would sure be nice to have one of those two magic spots in Davis' crim pro class. We shall see.

**Update: The last two spots in Davis' class are gone. So much for the drama.

Ok, milage. Bloody hell. It's been three weeks and I've walked to school damn near every day except *furrows brow, counts on fingers* four... but I've also walked to the store three times and taken the long road to the Metro at least four times... hmm... ok, we're going to err on the side of caution and call it 57 miles. Yikes. Nearly to the foot of the Weather Hills. Hey! I'm almost half way to Rivendell! Total distance: 227 miles.
