TGIW

Let the weekend begin!

I'm taking five classes this semester, but nothing on Thursday or Friday, so it's four-day weekends until the summer!

My classes, in order of interest:

1. Entrepreneurship for Lawyers - Mondays at 9am. We learn about business plans and investment screens, with projects centered around those topics. And no final exam!

One of my partners for the first project is Gina's second cousin's husband's son-in-law. Any creative business ideas for us out there?

2. Information Privacy Law - Mon-Wed at 11am. I've been interested in this topic since my Google days. After all, who's in the center of practically every information privacy controversy?

Two medium papers, and no final exam! The first is on a topic of our choice, and I'm thinking about doing it on Google's use and storage of user data, or Google's street view on Maps. Something Google. :)

3. California Environmental Law - Wednesdays at 3pm. Meets every other week with guest speakers, and one short paper. No final exam! What a dream.

4. Regulation of Land Use - Mondays at 3pm. A good topic with which to be familiar if Gina and I end up in Hawaii. In fact, the book was written by a prof at UH Law. Maybe I can go work for Kerry's dad. Take-home final.

5. Estates and Trusts - Tuesdays at 6pm. Ends at 9pm, which means I get home after ten on Tuesdays. :( Not at all ideal, but I feel like it's a class I should take. I currently know nothing about the topic. It's a 24-hour take-home final, but the prof says it should only take about three, so that's easy enough.

6. Finishing up the paper from last semester. Gigantic pain in the ass, but hopefully with a published paper to show for it in the end. We'll see!

So a pretty interesting slate, and plenty to keep me busy, but hopefully I'll be able to get most of my work done during my long BART rides and time between classes, allowing me to fully enjoy my four-day weekends. Looks like I'll be able to make all the Stanford hoops games after all!

The reason no one has replied is because it's not the weekend for us yet. We're all still working.
