Grade Wars, A New Hope

UPDATE: So I finally checked my mail folder and saw my CORE grade. I just about ripped it in half right then and there. I was on a break from class (one hour to go) and couldn't go home to yell at my apartment walls. In short, nuclear meltdowns have been more tame. Though my experience isn't unique at all, as in copyright law, novelty isn't required for substantive protection.

So it's the first day of my third semester in law school. I've structured my schedule around courses that will help me write my Note (capital for respect for the agony and pain I will be enduring). According to my Focused Problem Solving ("FPS") class (not "First Person Shooter", although that would be much more amendable to me), this deductive reasoning is a schema to frame the problem that may be solutions-based. Whatever. I thought I left psychology behind in undergrad. Still, theoretically, I can accept the value of understanding how one approaches a problem may help in future problem solving.


I'm taking a class on the law of the music industry and the professor is a practicing lawyer who has written songs for various bands, including Don Isley (Isley Brothers). I have not a clue who these people are but it sounds impressive.

I hope the rest of my classes are as promising as this one is.
