Electivation

One nice thing about this year is that they changed the coffee at the schools little coffee and food window. Not only is it all organic and free trade, but it is also palatable. It is also nice to know that I had some say in choosing that brand of coffee. When we had a taist testing last spring, I voted for that brand and it looks like I was finally in the majority for something I voted on, and my daily access to caffien is relatively important. I am also happy with my choice of classes. My IP professor is wonderfully tangential. We spent the first class trying to answer a question that he said was the question he was not presenting us to answer but had to be answered before we could answer the question that he really wanted us to answer. Before we could answer the question he really wanted us to answer, we had to answer this second question so we knew exactly why he choose for us to answer the former rather than the latter. It sounds confusing now, but it made a lot of sense in class.

My housing law and policy class consists of almost entirely guest speakers, videos, and field trips. I think he is going to drop us off in the middle of Seattle's ghettos and ask us to write about our image of the housing situation.

Federal Indian law: interesting. Real Estate Law: the class is about half full with property flippers and former mortgage brokers. It seems like good information to know, but it isn't going to be the most interesting class I ever took. And then there is con law. I am heading off there right now. I can tell that it is going to be the most demanding class. Not only does it meet every day, but the professor wrote the book, which means if the way he explains it is not clear, you can't be sure class will clear that up. Well, that's were I am heading.
