School is hanging us out, as usual

I really do not understand why the law school can't plan anything more than two days ahead of time. Particularly with the issue of scheduling, we are always finding everything out at the last minute.

For example, we got an email tonight informing us that pre-registration (basically lottery entry) for spring classes begins tomorrow. Why, I must ask, was this information not passed on to us sooner? It's not like they just set this date yesterday. And to make matters worse, the announcement didn't even include a schedule of the classes being offered next semester -- that is being issued tomorrow.

Now to put this into perspective, registration runs for ten days, and there's no preference for entering early. Since I'm a procrastinator, I'm naturally going to wait till one of the last days and then start working frantically to figure everything out.

However, I guess this is just symbolic of how indifferent the school seems in regard to the students. It's like we're always on a "need to know" basis, and the school decides that there is very little we need to know. The environment is one in which you feel like you have to fend for yourself. For the amount of tuition we pay, you'd think they could at least treat us like we matter.

On a more positive note, the Pistons took out the Suns tonight. Great game -- both teams played well. But at the end, Detroit just put on the clamps and won the game, finishing on a 17-4 run. It was a dominant performance, and gives them their best start since 1988 at 5-0. So I'm so happy about that, I can't get too worked up over how poorly the school treats us.
