About last night on L&O...
Jan. 13th, 2005 09:34 am... my orientation is pastede on yay
Jan. 13th, 2005
E Fry is a go!
Jan. 13th, 2005 12:29 pm::jumping up and down:: I did it I did it I did it!
CRT class: great.
Subject: very interesting.
Topics covered: wow.
Readings: neato mosquito.
Prof: amazing.
Evaluation: problem.
The syllabus says: "... students will have an opportunity to grapple with moving the theory into the realm of legal practice. A practical application of its principles in a legal project with an advocacy organization, community group, non-profit organization or association or a government department will form a key component of the course. This can be a paper, brief, factum or research memorandum (with attached public education or other materials developed for the organization if applicable.)"
The course ends January 20, but we were given until February 15 to develop an idea with a community agency, and until April 11 to carry it out. This pleased the rest of the class, but did not please me; I wanted the course to be over when it was supposed to be over, and not drag on into the next term, where I'll have three other classes and the Law Review to work on. We barely made it through last term as it is; I was seriously debating dropping to two classes and the LR, instead of three, even before this.
Plus, there's the problem of how do you develop a project with a group or agency. The prof said that she had friends at LEAF who would be glad to take us on, but as I've heard nothing from them, I started to contact other agencies. 12 of them. Not a peep.
Until today. Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa is all jazzed about this, have a bunch of intersting proposals, and I've got till next Thursday to research the options and then settle on which one I want.
Yay!
::scurrying off to start research::
::scurrying back for a quick post-script::
So my response to everybody's very thought-provoking answers to the assisted reproduction questions will have to wait until tomorrow.

Oh buggre alle this for a larcke. Have to go pick up Daniel and switch over laundry and research and get dinner started and read and then arg - realize it's Thursday and once again I have no clue what to make up for a t100+ challenge and once again I haven't really carefully read most of the entries and probably haven't given much feedback and damn.
I've been dragging my ass with the community for months now. Since about midsummer, roughly. I'm just not really interested in fic right now - too much else going on. I'd hoped that I could keep it going until L&O:TBJ started, see if that inspired me, get back to being genuinely intersted in what people write instead of facing new fic with a tired "oh damn - ten entries since last time I read." But there's way too much else going on around me. Just reading alone takes up too much energy. Never mind dealing with writer egos, which usually make me want to shut the community right then and there. That "Account Status: Deleted" thing gets awfully tempting sometimes. And no, I would never really do that - I wouldn't even delete my own journal, let alone an lj community that has over a year's worth of other people's writing on it.
I think I'm going to have to either pass t100+ on to somebody else or shut it down. Probably the latter; it isn't seeing much action these days anyway, and there's plenty of other communities out there. I'll probably just leave it open for anyone to see and post if they want to, but stop putting up challenges.
Later: Back from picking up Daniel and in a much better mood - it's like spring out there! It's 10.7°C (51°F); I think we just got a chinook. In Ottawa!
Daniel's babysitter says we can expect lots of weather changes like this, since the earthquake that caused the tsunamis shifted the earth's axis by three degrees, and that will change the earth's climate.
