In: grad school
24 Nov 2009Today was a sad day for nerds like me. It was my last day of Ethics and Law. Everything we do in that class interests me. I think most of my classmates agree.
Craig LaMay, our professor, is a fantastic professor. He’s a guy who knows his shit. I was very surprised that he doesn’t have a JD…he dropped out of law school. He then started a trucking company with some of his friends. Then he went into journalism. It’s an interesting story, for sure. I’d like to get to know him better. He seems like a terrific reference moving forward–I can’t say enough how much I love that class. The readings are thought-provoking, and I always feel engaged during class. Can’t always say that in other areas of education. Basically, Craig kicks ass–and he probably could. He’s a rugged-looking dude who wears work boots to class. I wouldn’t fuck with him.
So now I’m in editing, 45 minutes from leaving. I’ll head to a happy hour with a few of my friends from class before I ship off on a bus to good old Mentor, OH. Tomorrow I will be playing with my brother’s dogs, and Thursday I will be stuffing my face with turkey and falling asleep to football. I’m more or less caught-up with school work, and plan to do some stuff over break to get ahead for the following week. I have a two finals Tuesday after break, and one the following Monday. None should be too difficult.
In summary, life is good. Happy Thanksgiving.
