YAYE!

So I have some really awesome news. I am going to be back in class starting January 8th (for Spring Semester).

And it's my first class for Law School. No, haven't gotten in or anything. One of the local colleges offers a Pre-Law program. AND I can take classes as a non-degree student and beef up my music degrees so I'm not a total musician n00b trying to make it into Law School.

Here's the class I'm taking (on Monday nights):
Legal Analysis and Persuasion
Legal analysis and persuasion will introduce the student to the fundamentals of legal thinking, including the critical examination of case law, statutory law and other written materials. Applying this legal analysis, students will learn to persuade a targeted audience in both written and oral forms. Classroom exercises include briefs, mock appellate arguments and/or mock trial.

Can we say this ROCKS?

Taught by a Judge, and one of the two I know who have been saying I should go into Law School.

I'm absofreakinglutely excited about this. And it's the most motivated to do ANYTHING in... the past I don't know how long.

Coolness.... more school!

Actually I am jealous... my lawyer even thinks I should go to law school. hehe.

I'm really excited. And -- we'll see how it all goes.

This is several judges telling me to do this. So, I won't dispute.

Sounds really awesome, I'm glad you're taking it. :)

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

I'm really excited. Still am, even. :D

And I'm sure I'll be posting -all- about it. ;)

Yay! How exciting!
Now, if only I could get that excited about MY classes... ugh.

Did I mention that I just spent over a week grading term papers? I'm about to go postal....

Oh! Do you want to be my date for Bachfest this coming spring? I was thinking about going.

*rubs* Term is ALMOST over.

I also -- owe you a HUGE apology. Life has been -- insane and a whole host of other things. Expect a phone call soon.

Hrm... that would be cool. I'll have to see what teaching schedule looks like, but yes. :D I need to have an Alexis!shaped visitor soon. *nods* ♥

WOW!!! That's fabulous! Three cheers for more artists in the legal world! *grin*

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

Hip-hip-hoooray!

I seriously think most of us artists go to the legal profession because we're so damned disciplined. :D

OMG. YAY FOR YOU. *showers you with confetti* HOORAY.

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

XDDDD YAAAAAY

*bathes in confetti* XD

That's great! Sounds like a good way to get a taste of the law without committing to law school. Hope you enjoy!

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

That's exactly why I was so thrilled to find a course like this. It's one thing for people to tell you you'd make a good lawyer. It's another to enjoy what you're doing. So I get the taste of this, without having to commit to everything else that goes along with Law School :)

Congratulations!! That's awesome!! Back to the insane busyness for you!!!

*HUGS*

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

Yes! :D But honestly? I'm ready for this. I had a semester off and now I'm ready to get back into the swing of schooling. I went from HATING school about a year ago to not being able to wait to go back.

Talk about a walking paradox, eh? XD

[spacetweenears.livejournal.com]

Nah! I don't think so. I took three quarters off between my bachelors and masters and I was pretty ready to go back to school, too. Unfortunately, I had to work full time while doing my masters program - so it took me a little longer to complete. However, at the end of that I WAS ready to be done with school!!

Anyhoo! Still v. cool and you'll be awesome! :D
