    My fall classes
    My school is a quarter-system school. 2 of the 4 quarters are spent working. I work in the summer and winter quarters. So I'm in school (duh) fall and spring. Half of my class is on the opposite rotation. This makes things kind of complicated. The reason being that a class may be offered in the fall THIS year, but next year, it will only be offered in the winter. While I'm working, and not taking classes.

    I find this to be very difficult. There seems to be a bazillion classes that are being offered THIS fall that I want to take, but cannot.

    I got a position teaching our social activist class to first years, and that requires a class for me to TAKE, as well as a class that I TEACH. As well as a giant research paper (fulfills my writing requirement, though). This takes up 4 credits of class time, as well as LOTS of out of class time.

    So, someone recommended that I take only Evidence (4 credits), Corporations (4 credits), and this teaching class. I don't want to. I think that's boring-sounding, and I don't want to do it.

    I had thought of taking Evidence (4 credits), a seminar that makes me salivate (Balancing Security and Liberty), which is of course, also a paper class, Family Law, which is a TWO paper class, and my teaching class (with it's huge paper).

    A 3rd year friend of mine told me - no way. That I will kill myself, and never see my kids, and even if I didn't have kids, I would kill myself, with that much paper- writing and Evidence.

    So now, I'm thinking I'm going to do: Evidence, Professional Responsibility, Family Law, and the teaching class.

    I really think I want to take family law right now, b/c I'm just coming out of this family law job, and i think i'll know the stuff cold, and it will, sort of, be an easy class. Sort of.

    But even just typing all this .... I want to take the crazy route. I want to do the seminar!!!!

    Any experienced schedule-builders out there want to weigh in?
