Ahh.. well I wouldn't call that exactly "free".. I'd assume she'd have to chip in something

pretty sure her man lives in a sweet ass place and travels a lot and she doesn't have to pay rent at all....again...lucky biatch

I think its obvious they are considering you, the problem is what else are they considering? It seems to me that they are trying to find a way around your C&F issue. If you can assure them this wont reflect poorly on their admitting you then I am sure you will get in.

Fordham is pretty darned serious about the Ethics/Ethical Issues so agree with akcorps. Also, they might want assurance that this issue will not stand in the way of your being admitted to the bar.

Someone agrees with me, a proud day indeed.

Haven't I agreed with you in the past? I thought I had. Well, hell, I agree with you now, so HUZZAH!

I am not sure, but I backed you up on Fordham 1L taking questions thread, so HUZZAH back at ya.

Nothing in life is free.

I keep trying to respond to this but the damned board is killing my responses. Anyway, walking to a FedEx is free other than your base living expense unless you are disabled (which is largely subsidized and unusual enough to be considered an outlier situation, so it will excluded).

I don't know. FedEx is far, from my/my office. Walking there would take at least 40 minutes, which would cut into my productivity/possible earnings. On the other hand, if I took the subway I'm paying. Now, if FedEx will bring the boxes TO ME....

Ah, but cutting into productivity/earnings =/= cost because it doesn't require you transfer anything already possessed so much as it cuts into opportunity to possess more. By this reasoning sleeping costs me money, as does anything else "unproductive." However, it should also be pointed out that I would orders of magnitude less productive if I did not sleep, so in a sense sleeping is productive, yet it contributes nothing to earnings and has no market value. It is also, in a sense, free. Possibly even more free than FedEx boxes.

I think the credited response to FedEx boxes being free would probably be that they cost somebody (other than me) money, and in environmental impact or through increased costs to deliver things to me because of the subsidized nature of the boxes, they do in fact end up costing me money. Ergo, they are not truly free in a broader sense. In the narrow sense, however, they do remain free.

Good point. Instead of paying to mail things from now on I guess I should take the free alternative of walking things to their destination. Very excited to realize this, will save tons of money.

At the risk of sounding like I have to win all of the arguments I get into, I think you are really missing the point on at least two levels. The first is lighten up, its a joke that was probably never really all that funny, but because we are all training to be lawyers it represents the kind of argumentation we can expect to be engaged in. The second is that at no time was there any suggestion that in order to save money anyone should deliver anything. Also, there is nothing concerning any quantity of money above zero in the argument. If you feel that walking something somewhere will save you enough money to make up for the loss in earnings/productivity, then by all means do so. I think the cost of your survival as opposed to the loss in potential income to deliver things a great distance will prove to be undesirable, however. Overseas might be a problem too.

Look, this is really past its sell by date at this point unless you are really into arguing, logic, or welfare economics/liberal political philosophy. If that's your thing, then by all means keep it going, but I am starting to get bored.

<3 Gotti
He owns his apartment and does not need my financial assistance. I'd be more than willing to contribute to what's left on the mortgage, but he's committed to the idea that me taking out loans to pay him in this instance is silly.
(we've been together a few years, and will be living together wherever I end up for school)

honestly, most of what you post sounds pretentious & like you think you know everything...especially since you're a 0L.

edit: not trying to start anything...i'm just saying. you're in a lot the same threads as I am and ALL your posts come off this way lol. just fyi.

Cool. I like it that way. The thing is this: if you post a question or say something dumb or whatever, and I will do my best to make sure other people don't walk away thinking your reasoning is the only way to think about something. Am I pretentious? Maybe, but who isn't on here? Keep in mind you are reading something called top law schools.

Ugh, I think you missed the point, too. Look, everything I have posted here is to try help people like you out. Gyms, financial aid questions, etc. I could care less whether or not you like the way I write, but if you are going to be lawyer get used to having people point out when you're wrong about something or when your analysis is flawed. Or you can lighten up a little. New York might be hard on you if you are getting this worked up already.

[save the world]

Okayy... Back to why we are here. Is anyone still waiting to hear back?

[Stringer6]

i'm gonna stuff all of you in your lockers next year

Aren't they half sized? That's gonna hurt. But, when Stringer tells me to pipe down, I get the message. Unless we're talking about Brooklyn.

Eh, like 99% sure. And you? I was/am still holding out to get out of this city, but I am pretty sure I am stuck here.
