You know you're always welcome for dinner at our house. (Despite being in that C section...)

woohoo! so being in Section D means unlimited invites?!

so D stands for Dinner after all!!!

Yup. I use cooking as a destressing mechanism, so I'm pretty sure I'll be cooking up a storm in the coming months.

OK, so this whole "I'm moving away from all my old friends" just got a little too real, so I need some shiny new friends. I'm moving in this saturday, who all will be around and interested in a get together?

Chapter House, Saturday Aug. 8th at 7PM?

I like the idea of meeting up at The Chapter House for drinks, but unfortunately I'm busy that night .

Sunday? reccomend a day and we can all vote. I just want to meet some people before too long.

I can probably do Sunday, but I can't commit with certainty to anything right now. I have to go out of town for a few days next week, but I'm not sure yet which days it will be.

Saturday probably makes more sense for people as a whole though. I can always catch the next one.

Yeah, i have a sneaking suspicion we will be known by most bartenders in town.

Yeah, it really seems that an interest in law strongly correlate with alcohol abuse... :\

whatever, let's plan on saturday then?

Oh, you'll have plenty of opportunities to feed me

Saturday sounds great Sheltron

Sheltron, can I ask who your alter-ego is. Because I keep confusing you and moose

For those of you thinking of buying a new computer, the Cornell store sells Macs at a discount. I've heard that they do not charge sales tax (and I know that they do not charge sales tax on books) and that the time capsule (which I LOVE) is $40 cheaper there.

i'm not sure if i appreciate all the section C hate lol ... i actually don't mind the schedule. i'm digging the 11am finish on Monday.

Do they have our books at the Cornell store too? If so, do you know what the price difference is between buying them there and online?

There's no hate - it's still the best section

The Monday part is nice. So is the consistent start times every day.

[panda]

why do Mollenkamp and Clermont require so many books?!?! WHY!?!

[missv463]

ok two questions:

1. Why aren't we doing Property in the Fall? I'm sure there was an explanation, but I can't remember what it was.
2. Now that we have our schedules, are you guys buying books now (as in this wk), or are you waiting until you move to Ithaca?

[woeisme]

1. Why aren't we doing Property in the Fall? I'm sure there was an explanation, but I can't remember what it was.

Most places do torts in the fall. Last year we didn't, but I think it's best to have property in the spring and torts in the fall. Property is more complex, anyway.

Cornell's class of 2010 had property and torts in the fall, 2011 had constitutional law and property, 2012 has constitutional law and torts. I'm not sure why all the change, but I think having conlaw and torts in the fall is a good arrangement.

I know that didn't answer your question, but I like to talk/type.

[panda]

, but I like to talk/type.

doesn't everyone on TLS?

so, you would know this..
how reliable is it to buy books from all these used sellers online? should we worry about getting crappy copies? if we did, would that really make a difference? (im a bit neurotic, if that explains anything..)

[panda]

2. Now that we have our schedules, are you guys buying books now (as in this wk), or are you waiting until you move to Ithaca?

personally, im doing the research now, and going to buy as soon as i secure a place to send them.. (im not moving to ithaca for 2 weeks.. ) thanks to a fellow TLSer..i might have solved the shipping problem..

I mean I'm pretty neurotic too. I didn't buy anything used online. I like to see what I'm getting if it's used. So I'm probably a horrible person to ask. I don't think many people have problems though. If you wouldn't have had a problem buying used books in the past, I don't see why you'd have a problem doing it now. Also, I'd imagine that websites that sell used books don't sell books that are really crappy (do they? i have no idea).

People will also likely be selling their old books once you get to Cornell/once the year starts.

Shel, I'm down pretty much every day except Sunday or Monday. Also, I might have to crash on your couch/floor, 'cause I'll be driving.

Yes, they sell the books at the Cornell store. Last year they were the same price as Amazon (not the sellers). The bookstore sells a few used books, but they weren't THAT much cheaper then buying new. I bought all my books new, although I should have gotten my Lawyering books used. I just didn't know any better.

Thanks! That makes my decision for me since I have to fly in to Ithaca and airlines charge now if your suitcase is overweight (omg wtf bbq to that).

[sheltron5000]

Sheltron, can I ask who your alter-ego is. Because I keep confusing you and moose

Not really sure what you mean by alter-ego, this is my only ego so far as I know, I'll PM you my meatspace name if that helps.

i'm not sure if i appreciate all the section C hate lol ... i actually don't mind the schedule. i'm digging the 11am finish on Monday.

The Monday part is nice. So is the consistent start times every day.

And I think we have the shortest book list

Shel, I'm down pretty much every day except Sunday or Monday. Also, I might have to crash on your couch/floor, 'cause I'll be driving.

You might even get to sleep on a bed. Spike won't be there until sunday or monday.

Is it a good Idea to spend money on good copies of the style book/blue book? or are they really things you only need once or twice?

Well, just finished driving 3200 miles cross country. I'm relaxing at my parents place for a week, but I'm thinking that I'll be in Ithaca around the 16th. Can't wait to meet you guys...

Oh, and you can chalk up one more for Section D

[missxo]

I'm in Section D, too! Add me to the list!

I'm sad that I won't be in Ithaca until the weekend before official orientation. I feel like I'm missing out on the bonding and fun

Get a good copy, you'll need it if you do a journal. But buy crappy copies of the other lawyering books. I'll sell you mine, which are basically new.
