My favorite part of each quarter at UCLA was trying to put together a schedule for the following quarter. It was always so much fun finding out what classes were being offered (especially when you're a nerd like me who loves learning about new subjects) and carefully crafting amazing schedules. Whereas some people at UCLA orientation were freaked out when they were put in that big room with all the schedules, I was so excited and I put together like 5 alternate plans in different color codes. Class planning is a great way for me to put my uber organization skills to work.
Things haven't changed much. After attending multiple panels and info sessions last week about what types of classes to take, I had a lot of fun this weekend putting together different schedules with a grid and different color post-it notes.
It can be a somewhat complex process if you're a planner like me. Even though we're only required to take Crim Pro in the Fall and Ethics in the Spring, in your planning you also have to consider taking classes that will help you pass the bar, classes that will help you narrow down the field of law you're interested in, and classes that fit together both logistically and unit/balance wise. There's so many variables to consider...it's like...a LSAT logic game!
So despite minor setbacks and last minute changes, here is what will most likely by my Fall 2007 Schedule courtsey of my wonderful early registration slot:
- Criminal Procedure (required, and I was lucky enough to get allegedly the best prof)
- 1st Amendment (because it's taught by my current con law prof who I love, and the subject is incredibly interesting)
- Higher Education Law (since I might want to go into this area of law and it's also fascinating)
- Federal Personal Income Tax (because well-rounded lawyers take this class, I really need to know more financial stuff, and I heard it's more fun than people think)
