I'm back (in black)
Continuing with the AC/DC theme, I am in fact back. And since this is Black Red Yellow, I'm back in black. Oh hell yes. I am so clever!
I have to apologize to you all for being so spotty on the posting over the last couple weeks. Well, actually I think it's been longer than two weeks....I think I pretty much fell off the wagon when I finished work a month ago. Between traveling and starting school, I've been ignoring the blog. Which is too bad because I have had plenty of interesting things to blog about. And by interesting, I mean no more boring than the sh*t I typically write about.
I started classes on Tuesday. My schedule is still somewhat in flux. I am not particularly happy because it is my last year of law school and I still can't get all the classes I want, which is just bullshit. I'm paying $40,000+ in tuition. Why the hell can't I at least take classes I want?
But of course, there are a few classes which are massively oversubscribed, and then some no one wants to take because the professors are horrible. What it comes down to is that the law school is trying to force us to take as many large classes as possible so they won't have to pay for more professors. Cheap bastards. Once again, where is all my money going?
The positive thing is that I've gotten at least four classes I want: Deals, Deals Workshop (a seminar), Financial Statement Analysis, and Law and the Music Industry (another seminar).
The wildcard is whether I can get into the Private Investment Funds seminar. The professors are really good (I went to the first class on Wednesday), the topic is something I'm somewhat interested in, and increasingly, private investment funds are becoming the main movers and shakers in deals, etc. Not to mention that there's a ton of money there. So it's a good field in which to have background.
If I get that seminar, I'll be happy. Otherwise, I think I'll have to take European Law or Corporate Finance, neither of which are particularly interesting to me. Plus it will put me at 15 credits, which is more than I need. And I have no interest in taking more credits than I need to graduate.
In addition to trying to figure out my schedule, I've been trying to unpack and get caught up here in NYC after my two and a half weeks on the road.
Fortunately, I've had the chance to hang with J2E, K1, S1, A1, and lots of other friends over the past couple nights. This weekend, I should see even more people at my belated birthday party Saturday night. So if you're my friend and haven't yet gotten the invite, consider yourself invited. 8 pm on 9/10 at Acqua (96 and Amsterdam). I ran into R3 on the street today, and it turns out that's his birthday too, so hopefully he'll stop by and we'll make it a little double birthday party action.
Ok, that's all I have time for now. Laundry is crying out from the dryers in the basement.
