Go Angie Go!!!

I have a social work research class next semester--my LAST required class before field. The rest of my class load should be pretty fun and easy though. I'm taking advanced photojournalism and a few other Mass Comm courses. If I ever want to get a second degree it'll take only two semesters because all of my electives have been in Mass Comm/Journalism. I did that since the burnout rate is so high with social workers. It's nice to have something to fall back on if I need to.

How is your legal research class going for you? How long do you have till graduation? By the way, you're in grad school, right? What kind of lawyer do you want to be? I'm just full of questions! LOL

My class is going well it wasn't too hard... it was mostly learning about the resources that are out there... now the second half of the class is trial advocacy, hence the mock trial case from the vent the other night... I'm graduating hopefully next year with a degree in legal studies and possibly a major in music... i have a lot of music credits but haven't decided if i'm going to finish the major, or just walk out with the minor, which i already have enough credits for... and no i'm still in undergrad, i'm only 21... and finally i don't know what kind of law i want to practice but i'm almost certain that it's not gonna be criminal law... i'd like to do something wiht international law, maybe diplomacy or something, but i'll have to start off in private practice anyway...so maybe labor or corporate... who knows! lol

That's awesome. Sounds like you'll have an exciting life. We'll graduate around the same time I think. We'll have to have a 4wt party to celebrate! LOL

Did you finish your mock trial? If so, how did you do?

it's not over yet, i have to present my direct and cross exams and my closing statement, i have my direct and cross already turned in and have my closing left to do... it's due on monday... it's not really like a trial setting, we just have to present each part as if it were... and then our prof. critiques what we have... i'm not as frustrated any more, and i think i'll do much better on closing than i did on the opening...

Me too! I have next semester which is mostly electives (12-15 credit hours, my lightest load yet!) and then field placement which means I work 36 hours per work and have a 3 hour seminar course to talk about issues in the field. I get 16 credits for this. No pay unfortunately. lol

After that, it's off to grad school. I just found out a few days ago that I can go for free! I was ecstatic!

I'm glad to have someone to celebrate the upcoming academic milestones with. Now you can't go off to law school and get too busy for us, got it! hehe
