Enrollment, Jello Models, and Other Stuff

Greetings and welcome back to the Un-Zone, one of the many sites located by that exit ramp everyone avoids on the Information Superhighway. It's now time for yet another update to this site. As if you really want to know what's going on in my life at this moment. It's cold right now, but the law school is toasty.

Today is the beginning of enrollment for the Spring semester. I discovered that if you don't enroll at exactly 7:00 AM, you will lose out on a spot for Trial Advocacy. Apparently, when I tried to enroll in that class at 7:20 AM, all of the spots were filled. This is quite possibly, one of the most popular courses at KU Law. I guess there are a lot of eager students who want to be like those lawyers on TV. So, given the options that would fit my schedule, it was either Family Law or International Economic Law. I chose the International Law option.

And speaking of "international" stuff, a website has their list of the Top 100 Beers from around the world. As you may have noticed (if you have read earlier posts), beer (and other forms of alcohol) and law school go with eachother, hand in hand. For those tired of domestic stuff, now you can partake of beers that law school students in other countries quaff on a Thursday night or whenever they have a weekly beer-fest.

Another thing. Remember when your parents would tell you not to play with food? Remember eating Jello? Some people I know still eat Jello, but in an alcohol-spiked form at a bar on a weekend, but that's a different story. Well, apparently, someone builds scale models of famous sites out of Jello. Of every color known to man, plus some others that defy description. You just have to see it....Someone has way too much time on their hands.

And something that sounds like a movie plot from Hollywood. Wilma and Alpha merging to form a superstorm. Oooh...super-hurricane. It's another sign of the Apocalypse or weather websites are taking it over the edge in hype.

Yeah. NaNoWriMo begins in eight days. God. The plot outline is coming very well. If I apply a little more time on this, I might have enough stuff to write 50,000 words about. Words. Words. Words. All just words.

It's time to catch up on some Commercial Law readings. I can't keep my attention span focused long enough to get the entire assignment read in one sitting. Too many statutes. One would wish the committees that write statutes could make them a little more understandable and not so poorly worded.


That's all for now.
