Well last week was a no-class week, being MLKJR day and all, so here I am in week 4.
Something I should note about last week though, interestingly enough, is that I was late on my homework. By exactly 32 minutes. Yup, submitted at 12:32am, and late enough to disqualify me from getting it graded at all...kinda depressing. So I did it anyway (she says she wants to see it one way or another to make sure we understand it), and emailed her to let her know I’d submitted it and late. She emailed me back and told me she’d grade it for full points anyway, as a favor “one time” in the quarter - wow! Thrilled.
Anyway, we got into the correct room this time - it was unlocked.
It feels strange being here. I don’t feel like I’m taking a class - my homework is fairly easy, and this week I had it done 5 days in advance; crazy right? And this week I want to do it again. With only one day per week being lecture, her grading me so nicely, and the homework only taking about 4 hours for a week, its *almost* easy. I’m thrilled. What can I say? Next quarter Accounting will kill me, so I’ve heard, but I’ll be interested to see if I can do it without being lazy, thus perhaps properly functioning during the quarter haha.
Today is Luke’s birthday, we’re going to see “book of Eli” after class, we’ll have to see how it is. I’m excited. :) And Tomorrow I have my genius admin interview at 2pm. Also exciting.
Back to class, starting in T-minus-60 seconds.
I’m experimenting with my computer tonight - not knocking down power consumption, since the silly thing lasts longer with all services on and screen at full brightness. Strange, yeah?
She’s covering last week’s topic. I’m happy.
This is good - she really is covering last week and filling in all the blanks. Hmm, I wonder if she’s teaching any classes I need after this...
So I have figured out three reasons I love this class: First, I understand it (this far). Second, its actually interesting AND valuable to my future. Third, well, of course, grades thus far. But really, its almost relaxing, fascinating. Hmm.
An another note, I’m 35 minutes into the class and my battery meter is reading 10 minutes more than when I usually start class in reduced service mode. Very, very, very odd.

Week 2
We got into the correct room this time - hilarious. She found that her key didn’t work for either room, so someone had to come open the door for us.
She’s asking now how everyone’s homework went (ie. Angel oddities, etc), so that was nice.
I’m a little nervous to see how my homework will be graded - there was quite a bit of it, though it wasn’t all that difficult. I have to say, I’m kinda stoked ‘cause I am reading the Constitution for the firs time. Strange? Yes. Everyone should be aware of their Constitution - it is the basis for everything in the country! I’m at article IV, but will finish it tonight. I am really enjoying this class so far. Why? Because I am learning things that not only will I use for my business, but things I will benefit from knowing in every-day life. Wow. Imagine that.
Now she’s reviewing sources of law, preparing for the Judicial Process in Chapter 3. What are our rights, etc.
Onto Judicial Process - Jurisdiction, the way the court system is structured.
I love it: She gives us hints as to quiz questions and all. So funny.
Haha I think she’s conservative - she just poked a huge jab at liberalism lol. We just talked about the ten commandments and the court ruling to remove or stay the tablets — ends up they decided to keep them, as they were NOT an establishment of religion.

School - Week 1
Ok, so I am loving school this quarter. I have been taking down a running dialog with myself during class time, so I think I'll post it here for the heck of it. Its actually kinda humorous to read, so here you go.

Week 1:
The first day of class is interesting so far, and its not even started yet. The instructor is, for once, a perfect english speaker, and I can understand every word. I am happy about this because last class it was a chinese gal and I couldn't always understand her.
The instructor is also spunky. She is not quiet (again, thankfully), and I am thinking she'll be a good instructor. We'll see how it goes.
Class will be about two chapters per week.
I love how she knows exactly what we're looking for -- "What is expected?"
Chapters 1, 2, 3 are introductory chapters, starting with Ethics, will be the first week and a half. They are very broad, a little longer and kind of all over the place. The whole class will not be like this.
Chapter 7 starts contracts - they are harder/more technical, but they are shorter and more focused.
She says it won't be impossible, I'm happy about that! She talks to herself, and announced it - hilarious. Oh, and she's also Remy. Not Mrs. Leonard, not Dr. Leonard, and very easygoing about her name. Its "Ray-me", but she doesn't mind.
LOL she's worked as a janitor AND at a cemetery - and she's a "Ski Bum" haha.
She loves criminal law...but didn't think she would. She studied in State Planning, but went instead into criminal law and found she loved it - by accident.
My instructor also works at Trinity Lutheran College - I'll have to ask Annie if she knows her.
There's an Egyptian student in my class. 3 exchange students actually. Wow pretty cool!
All assignments are released Friday, 8am, and due the following Sunday by Midnight. No late assignments will be graded.
All questions on quizzes will be on midterm and final. Don't forget! On quizzes and homework, the only resource we are not allowed to use is fellow students.
I am liking the structure of this class - it seems both laid back and straight forward. Perhaps this "hybrid" thing isn't so bad after all. Its my first one, and I will admit I wasn't very thrilled, but it doesn't look impossible. Time to dive in! I'm actually looking forward to learning some of this stuff, odd as that may sound, and this seems to be the best venue.
OH MY WORD - 90 is an A, this is a goldmine class! WOW. So cool.
Ah, the final also does not include the first portion of information. By definition, this should be an easy class, all things considered - very relaxed. I'm sure the information will be rather challenging, but still, an excellent layout.
Hmm, an 89.6 and higher counts as an A IF I have excellent attendance and submit assignments on time, etc.
Her goal is to get our grades back to us no more than 72 hours after due date. She doesn't start grading until Monday morning, we'll probably receive by Wed-Thu. She says sometimes if people submit early, she'll grade early. Hmm. I'd really like to not be lazy this quarter, and get stuff in not only on time, but early. Exams may take longer to grade.
She says to use "rleonard@everettcc.edu" to contact her. She says to include my name and "BusA" in the subject line. Hmm. Easy enough.
This gal is an excellent instructor - I'm fascinated so far all the way though, and its been an hour and a half. I could swear its only been 20 minutes. Something interesting though, she sounds just like Alex Lewis - incredibly so. Oddly enough, its bringing back memories of Alex. I wonder how she's doing? Anyway, they're both very logical and speak with extreme clarity. Obviously this gal must, since she was a courtroom prosecutor!
