The Demi-Gods

Had some time to look more into the matter of my professors today.

I don't recognize any of their names. But then again, I am not well-versed in the matter of the legal superstars. I'm sure, nonetheless, that each one of them is considered sort of a demi-god by adoring students, especially those who also hope to break into academia.

My civ pro professor is a woman and reactions to her course are in general nice. The rest of my profs are all men (except my First Year Lawyering instructor, who is not considered by the law school to be a full "prof" anyway).

Most of them seem like competent teachers, at least according to student comments from previous years. One of them, however, namely, my contracts prof, received very low marks in nearly everything from students, from course organization to availability outside of class. The only high mark he received, in fact, was "knowledge of the subject matter".

Well, one would certainly hope so...

Thankfully, I don't have him until the second semester, when I hopefully will be more knowledgeable and at ease about this whole law school business.

In separate news, got a $889 leather couch from Costco today. My local Costco ran out of them so Boyfriend and I went to a town about an hour away to get it. The drive was actually very enjoyable. We listened to Arther Miller's lecture CDs on civil pro on the way there and back. Boyfriend, who would have become a litigator, perhaps, in another life, was especially interested.

Had dinner at very nice restaurant after getting couch. Yay for fried oysters!
