I'm feeling horrible guilt again for taking money from tutoring. Maybe I should stop asking for the money monthly; it's too big of a shock when I finally get it. I even tried offing some of it (well, most of it) to my mother to offset "high gas prices", but she didn't buy it. Ugh. I hate dealing with money.
On to something I enjoy far more: school! NYU just released my fall schedule, so here's the lineup for this JD2B:
Contracts: "The body of law concerned with private agreements, including capacity to contract, contract formation, interpretation, conditions, excuse of performance, and remedies for breach." Taught by one Professor Liam Murphy, who I'm hoping will sport an Australian accent.
Lawyering: A full-year course that, as far as I can tell, teaches you how to be a lawyer. We get to role-play! Granted it's probably role-playing lawyers instead of black mages, but I get the same buzz from wearing a black suit.
Torts: A funny name for all the bad things that can happen to people -- falling objects, uneven sidewalks, obnoxious farm animals, etc. The calendar describes them as "inflicted physical and psychic injuries." Mm, psychic injuries. The best kind. Less good is the time, that dreaded 2 - 4 PM Tuesday/Thursday time slot that guarantees a comatose Daphne. I tend to buy a lot of coffee on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Procedure: Full name, Civil Procedure, a.k.a. How To Sue the Pants Off Someone. Is probably going to be very helpful, seeing as Financial Aid just told me yesterday that I don't qualify for loan repayment assistance after I graduate, essentially ensuring that I'll have to become a corporate whore in three years to pay back the banks. That made my parents happy, at least.
Nothing yet on reading assignments, but that'll probably show up later next week. The case I have right now, "The Case of the Speluncean Explorers", deals with 5 guys stuck in a cave that eventually decide to eat one of their party. They're charged with murder 30 days -- and 10 dead workmen -- later.
Well, gee.
