I really should be reading over course descriptions and preparing to meet my old Torts professor for a course counselling review session in 20 minutes, but I thought I'd wax eloquent on the beauty of NYC from the 14th floor terrace instead and complain about exams and the administrative and regulatory state.
And before the right wing nut-jobs get too excited, let me clarify and say I'm not talking about the real administrative state -- just the ARS course that is going to kill me in 3 weeks and will be the bane of my existence until then. I signed up for it thinking that I cared about child welfare and procedural justice for disadvantaged families. Whoops! Looks like I care more about land use and environmental regulation instead, seeing that I've stopped posting on ARS discussion boards for 2 months and will read ahead in crim and property just to avoid catching up.
This sounds a lot like my approach to Physics 206 (Mechanics), which I was mathematically underqualified for -- as I recall, I spent the second hour of that exam looking around the room blankly because I really couldn't do more than map the forces and plunk down what formulae I thought might somehow relate.
I think I got a B.
