I received the authorization to access the "Blackboard" section of my new school; Northwestern California University. Different from ALU in that the academic guts of the website appears to have more detail. The classes run concurrently. The student is on a self administered schedule; 48-52 weeks.
So...I like that as any passive agressive control freak would. You are responsible for your schedule. Should be interesting. Ordered a bunch of cheap books, with more to be ordered. I have a Flemings writing course on the way.
No results from the Bar yet; mailed out yesterday. I know some of us have the vision of a person handling our letter much like when we ordered things (I did in ancient times) from the back of a cereal box or a comic book and the person at the company would put our toy carefully in the mail watching the mailman take it to our house. Yeah I still think like that.
Ironically, Paul B., a former class mate at ALU, who sat next to me at the Baby Bar, got accepted round about the same time to if NWCU.
New discovery: Listening to the KFI AM 640 Radio Show Handel on the Law; if you are in law school you start to see the patterns and the common sense solutions that apply to essay exams; I do anyway. Kind of like a coloring book for law students.

Veterans Day
Present job gives us Veteran's Day off; still can't get over that. I think in my near 50 years, I have had 5-10 Vets days off.
Couple of things, starting on some Criminal Law review; my favorite of the three first year classes. I have had the privilege of knowing a couple of district attorneys in California and while a stressful job probably a pretty cool job.
I was looking at some review courses offered by Fleming's based on recommendations of a fellow student that passed the Baby Bar. Expensive; $70-$85 per cd and outline. I think that if you market anything well to the law student you are guaranteed a profit. I was thinking of marketing 2.5 gallon ziploc bags as laptop bar exam bags. If I get the dreaded "fail" notice re the baby bar, it will be my next investment.
My school, ALU, has sent out the "hey we're here" email for re enrollment. Last year, the Dean was replaced and I think they are in the process of reinventing themselves. The admissions guy, Ron King sent out a very informative email that was aesthetically pleasing. However, their baby and general bar stats still are very low with Concord their competitor only a little bit higher.
My plans at least at this time are to regroup in December, go back to school at NWCU in January, if necessary retake the BB in June and October. If I don't pass, I will at least get out with a BS and a lot of legal knowledge.
