I have now survived my first (and second) day of senior (!) year at university. I'm taking 4 classes this semester and should only need 2 next semester before I'm done. All of this is dependent, of course, on there not being any massive bureaucratic hoops that I've somehow missed. So here's hoping on that front.

My Urban Politics and Community Power class isn't at all what I had hoped it would be. They didn't list the teacher until a few days ago. Normally it's taught by the same professor who teaches a class on San Francisco politics. And I'd heard great things about him. My class though, is being taught by a woman who has just come from Germany (Berlin) on an exchange program with a professor who I absolutely hated. I had thought that the class would be focused mostly on issues that are affecting American cities; honestly I thought we'd be talking about San Francisco a lot. But since my professor is from Europe we're going to be talking a lot about European cities and not really focusing at all on what I had been hoping to get out of the class. It's too late to change though. I tried getting into a class on Representation and Elections that's being taught by my favorite professor but it was completely full.

Add that disappointment to the fact that I'm taking the LSAT on October 1st and applying to Law Schools right now and you get a slightly distressed, mostly overwhelmed theantimodel.

Law Schools I'd like to get in to:
UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall
UC Hastings
Stanford
NYU
Columbia

Chances of me getting into any of those schools? Who the fuck knows at this point. Stanford has a really good program for Technology and Intellectual Property which is pretty much what I think I want to do so I'd better do really good on the LSAT.
