Hi! New to TLS and wanted to answer the book $$ question since I just got back from the bookstore.

Grand total minus Hornbooks/other study aids = $695. Ouch. Hope my loans get dispersed soon.

Thanks again for posting the section pics! Also, I'm in Section L so add another TLS name to the CivPro dream team. Getting excited to meet you guys.

SECTION L! WAHOO!

I don't see how section J's schedule is so bad. The times and frequencies of classes are the same as section C.

Anybody want to hit up Three for dancing (optional) and $4 martinis?? Maybe we could start somewhere else and end up there like last week.

hahaha you loved that place

[greygoose]

tonight is nips coming out party. he was rather sedated last night. i was severely disappointed.

[OnceLost]

Section I books were $763.35 without the $42 recommended supplement. I think we're paying for those Fridays off...

[nipplehead]

ok, who the fuck is in section F

dammit i dont know anyone there

Our sections have a class together. I think I met you last night. Didn't I give you my gin and cranberry?

haha oh yeah! good call

poor nip

haha. bought a 24 pack of Yuengling, Jared and I are already drinking. anyone that wants to join is welcome.

[tkm.]

already drinking...typical

I'm sure I'll be out tonight

[sialeeds]

It's sadder that I haven't met nip and I live 10 seconds away... literally!

Someone call me if something is going on tonight... my brother is in town and I want to show him a good time.

Pregame at 9:00 at the Woodlands (1925 Beechcrest Ct., Unit 102).

Those who get here early enough get to have jello shots. I have some alcohol but not a ton, and I definitely don't have beer, so you might want to bring some stuff along with you!

843.902.2548

I assume we're hitting $2 pitchers afterward, and hopefully Three as well!

i guess the pregaming is split. i think some of us are too lazy to head to woodlands and will be at 128 ivy apt 3 at around 9:15. cya at the corner afterwards

i'm fairly confident that people will be going out. i mean we've been out pretty much everyday, this can't be good for the body...

[CaptainDirtyBird]

agghh everything hurts!

bball tmrw at the main gym at 2PM...fuck me...

North Grounds Gym?

North Grounds Gym?

Nope, not the gym by the law school. We've been playing at the Aquatic & Fitness center. It's on Alderman Rd.

[gladiator]

I'm here. Today's projects are building my desk, getting my computer, buying dresser(s), and setting up my wireless router.....too much shit to do.

Section B book total- $585.

Checking the interwebz now for cheaper....

Edit: Basically, I looked at Amazon and while the casebooks (the $140 joints) are about $30 cheaper for each book, my torts and Civ Pro book are out of stock with no firm availability date. The other little books are mostly about the same. So, save ~$100 and possibly not have books or just forget about it and go with what I got? I think I'm just going to go with what I got.

As another FYI, my above total doesn't include any supplementals like hornbooks or commercial outlines. I'll wait and see on those after some class days.

Edit 2: Checked another site (alibris.com?) and they are also out of Civ Pro and Torts. Checked another site and it quoted 6 of my 9 books at $585. Bookstore doesn't seem so bad by comparison.

[triadolpho]

Edit: Nevermind, very few of the books are actually in stock online. Oh well.

[shadowfish]

Finally moved in at the Grad Centre with all my Ikea furniture. Finally. No internet for a day *shudder*

I'm in Section F!

I just splurged on my books and bought them full-cost at the bookstore. I'm not bothering to cut costs on something that important. That, and already-highlighted books drive me NUTS.

[SteelersandGators]

A few things...

(1) Any other Section B people notice we didn't have required books for Contracts? I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

(2) Avemore rocks

(3) How are people playing b-ball at the gym? I thought our ID's didn't start working until the 22nd.

[Da Stain]

Youre right about contracts. I looked at Leslie's other courses and he does them the same way: casefile method?? I assume it's something on the interwebz where we'll just download our readings and print them off if we choose.

I might have to kiss the old bastard for saving us $140.....

EDIT:

I was mistaken. Leslie uses casefilemethod.com. A site conveniently created and owned by him where you purchase a course packet or something. Basically, same thing as buying a book, but the crafty bastard cut out the middle man!
