but you see, i'm all tangled up...

So I have to go back to Stanford one last time, to get my stuff out of storage. What a drag. After that, I have to fly all the way to Boston (from San Jose!). Truly, this will not be a very fun week.

I'm a little nervous about the whole transfer thing. Ok, I'm really nervous. I'm not totally convinced yet that I'm doing the right thing. But I've never been one to sit idly by. Change is always good--at the very least, it keeps me from being bored. After 5 years in Palo Alto, I think I've exhausted everything that could be done in that town. But it's still a neat little town. Who knows? Maybe I'll end up in the bay area after law school anyways.

Also, I don't much like Harvard's class schedule situtation that they have for transfer students. Essentially, all the interesting classes have been "oversubscribed." Which means only one thing: I can't take them! Although I've been told I'll be able to get into one or two, that provides little solace, since literally all the interesting ones have been oversubscribed. The only ones that haven't been oversubscribed are ones like "Advanced Issues in Bankruptcy" and "Community Action." (What?) Funny how this isn't in the transfer application materials. Does this mean I'll have to take "one or two" interesting classes, and six or seven boring ones throughout the year?

Not quite. Luckily, some of my interests aren't as popular with the Harvard kids as would be the case elsewhere. There are several legal philosophy classes that I've been eying that are still available. There's a class that promises to examine the works of Heidegger, of all people. I kid you not! Mill and Rawls I can understand; they have much to say about the law. But Heidegger?? I'm going to have fun with that one...
