First Homework Assignment
I started my Paralegal courses today.
The first is a research class. I had to watch an online video of a class. The usual intro stuff.
My first assignment is two-fold.
I have to contact several local law libraries and find out if they have 10 law books that I will need for research purposes for the final project.
I then have to go to one library, scope it out, get a map and all so I know where various necessities are located and use a law dictionary to get definitions of several words.
My only problem is that all the law libraries are downtown and without a car, it will be a challenge to get there.
I’ll figure it out.
Tomorrow I am going to try the computer classes at the lab one more time before I decide if I am dropping them.
I also have to start the second paralegal class in the next few days.
I admit, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with all I have to do in the next week. My nephew’s birthday party is Saturday, so the entire day is shot as far as getting any schoolwork done.
I also have to print and mail all the invitations for my grandma’s party.
Not enough time in the day!
Good luck with your class. I hear you about going downtown. For the book I’m writing, I have to go to the downtown library and there is absolutely no parking there, plus a lot of one way streets. It’s really difficult if you don’t regularly go down there.
Ew, good luck getting to the library.
How’s the mass transit down your way?
dianae, yes, the parking is terrible! there are lots, but it is about $20 for a couple of hours. and lots of one way streets!!! You’re right, if you are down there a lot, you are used to the weird driving situation….if not, it is really confusing.
ravyn, mass transit is pretty good, however, there is no direct way to get to these locations. I’d have to take a bus to the train, the train to another train, a bus and another bus….it would take me over an hour just to get there and another to get back. I don’t have 2 extra hours to spare. I miss my car!
