Thus far, this is my schedule:

Fall term
Monday 8:30-11:30 Lesbian and Gay Legal Issues (seminar) (which I didn't sign up for - I indicated it as my "alternate" choice if my first choice, Labour Law, was unavailable).
Monday 10:30-1:30 Labour Law I (lecture)
Monday 3:00-4:30 Law Review Sr. Board (meeting)

January term
Mon-Fri 8:30-11:30 Aboriginal Business Law, which I distinctly did not ask for, as I have no interest in business whatsoever. The course description on the website and the course calendar calls it "Aboriginal Law: Anti-Colonial Law, Resistance and Nation Building".

Winter term
Monday 11:30-1:00 Law Review Sr. Board (meeting)
Monday 2:00-4:00 Civil Procedure I (lecture)
Tuesday 2:00-4:00 Civil Procedure I (lecture)

So. I can either get a Time-Turner, or drop Lesbian and Gay Legal Issues, which I didn't really sign up for in the first place. I'm also going to have to figure out which Aboriginal Law class is being taught, because eurghh Business.

They're being a little glitchy over at the Registrar's this year. My first e-mail to them, after the course selections, read as follows:

Please note: I am currently a part-time student. However, my registration form from the Registrar's Office indicates that I am full-time. I am not sure how this happened, since I have not requested a change in status and still need to be part-time.

As my registration form also states that I am not a Canadian citizen (which I am) and that I entered Canada on January 1, 1900 (which I did not), I am assuming there has been some sort of technical glitch in the Registrar's computer system.


Hm. Delayed Y2K?

Later Edit: Glitches worked out. I'm now taking only one class at a time and the title of the course has been changed on the website. Yay!

Poor lost snippet

Damn, I know I said I wasn't going to do this (post ficsnippets without their address), but I found a funny snippet of a fic whose name and URL I do not know. So I'm putting it out there just in case anybody else does know, and can pass it on to me. From vague memory, it wasn't terribly true to the characters, but it was very funny and well-written. Kind of like reading a story about many amusing people who just happen to have the same names as the folks in the Harry Potter books.

"But -- ah -- the thing is -- I know it couldn't have been Draco that did it because it happened at half past three, and Draco was definitely asleep in his bed at half past three this morning."

...

"I see," said Dumbledore gently. "And, if one might ask -- how exactly do you know this, Harry?"

"Because I was there. I mean -- it isn't what you think, I wasn't in bed with -- well, technically, but not because I was sleeping with -- I mean, I did fall asleep, but only because I was tired of waiting for -- no, that's coming out all wrong. I was in his bed, but I didn't touch him. Except when I had to. And I definitely didn't kiss him back." There was a horrified little pause, while Harry stared at Dumbledore, mentally replayed the last few sentences, and tried to will himself spontaneously invisible. "That came out all wrong," he repeated, sounding almost as appalled as he felt. It was probably a trick of the light, but for a moment Harry thought that the headmaster's mouth twitched.

Sound familiar to anybody?
