pickup bball ftw

also, what are you doing this summer swinger, you seem to be hanging out on tls quite a bit lately? did you stay in charlottesville for the summer?

No, I am working first half for a firm, second half back in Cville with my professor. I've been getting to the office early and staying late to do most of my memos/research so that I can take little breaks during the day to post on TLS. I monitor a few threads in between searches/cases. It seems that around my office as long as the work gets done by the deadline they dont care when I do it (morning/late vs. during the normal work day).

There are almost always pick up games going on at North Grounds gym. Most of them involve law students. We also send multiple teams to UVA-wide intramurals for several sports.

Regarding Rugby, not only does Cville have a team, but UVA specificly does. I dont know if there are many law students, but I know the Rugby team comes to our 'organization fair' so you can sign up there.

How do UVA law squads fare in IM hoops?

Much better than one would think.

I was just lookin' into registering my car down here and all that horrible stuff. The UVA law website (http://www.law.virginia.edu/html/inside ... obiles.htm) has a lot of great information which basically tells me I don't have to register my car or anything. That being said this part at the bottom seems to indicate that whether I register the car here or not I'm looking at a 4% tax on the value of the car:

Tax (Virginia Personal Property Tax)

All persons residing in Virginia who own automobiles are subject to a personal property tax based on the average loan value ("blue book" value) of their automobile. This is filed when city or county tags are purchased. The first half of the tax is due June 5 and the second half is due December 5.

If you are a resident of another part of Virginia, read carefully: By a strange quirk in the law, students who have residency in another part of Virginia (not in Charlottesville or Albemarle County) and are not locally employed, but own their own automobiles must pay the personal property tax in their home county or city—that is, their place of residency.

On the other hand, if your car is owned by your parents, or by you and your parents, you must pay the local (Charlottesville or Albemarle County) property tax (even if you are a resident of another part of Virginia). You can give a copy of your personal property tax receipt to the local authorities in your home county or city to prove you have already paid the tax.

Anyone have any insight into this? Also, I need to renew my drivers license soon and I could do it with NY (my home state obviously) but any idea if I can do it here without actually registering a car and all that? It's about 40 bucks cheaper here haha.

I know this was asked a while ago, but is anybody else staying in the Grad Centre? A few of us Pm'd before, but I haven't had any luck getting Woodard to tell me who else is in my unit.

I'm at the grad centre. Send me a message with your apt. number and I might be able to tell you who you're staying with. We just had a guy move out in my unit, so you might be with me!

One of the leasing agents sent me a very helpful reply this afternoon. Just wanted to announce that since i mentioned getting nothing from them earlier.

Your car will probably be eligible for tax relief on at least part of the bill:

Is it possible to access Symplicity and see what kind of jobs our school is reeling in before we start this fall? As of now, it won't allow me access.

Anyone has a response to this? I'm curious as well.

Pretty sure we didn't get acess to symplicity until December. At least I don't remember going on it before then.

Oct. 26 is when we got the email "welcoming" us to Symplicity. You dont remember going on before then because a) you couldnt b) this is one of the worst things ive ever heard- why would you seriously want to check this out. I'm sure we were all super neurotic the summer before 1L too, tho.

The summer before 1L i got super drunk and didn't think about school, turned out alright for me.

Just imagine how well you would have done if you had been on Symplicity in June...

Now, lets discuss something serious that will actually affect your 1L year substantially: who wants to buy my hornbooks?

How marked up are they? Or I should say, how new are they?

the ones i bought new are barely touched, almost pristine condition. the ones i bought from my PA have her highlighting so some are pretty marked up, others are considerably less so. i think i found a buyer for some of them, but obviously the ones you buy depend on the classes/profs you have, so PM me when you get your schedule and ill let you know what ive got.

I'd imagine that most people's favorite bar is Biltmore.

I'd also venture to guess that the bar that produces the most and longest lasting memories is Three.

I also recommend checking out La Michoacana Deli if you're looking for traditional Mexican.
