I am now $524 lighter in the pocketbook and I still need one more book. It could have been worse. At least I only have three classes to buy for. I was surprised to find out how many other students are in the transitional program, or, as we like to call it, the short-bus program.
I have a lot of work to do, so I that's all I'm going to say today. I can't wait to go home tomorrow and see everyone!

I would just like to take this opportunity to remind you that you live in Toledo now, John. The sooner you get that through your head, the better off everyone will be! Toledo is your home. Say it to yourself over and over again, until you understand it and forget about your former family and friends. Even if all you ever do is wait in line the rest of your life, Toledo is better then Lima, and it is your home........
(Whew, it's nice to pass some of my frustration off onto you. I feel much better now.)
Sounds like you had a good day of standing in line. I did laundry today, it was a joy...

How many students in your law school?
We only had 150 students per class and hardly any lines.
What about UT? How big is that? U of A had about 35,000 total enrollment.
Shan you crack me up!
There are approx. 200 incoming students (full and part time). As far as the main campus, total enrollment is just a tick south of 20K.
It turns out roughly half of the incoming class is in the reduced workload transitional program.
We're going to need a bigger bus.
(Using my best Elvis impersonating voice...) "Thank you, thank you very much..."
Jeshanah,
you must immediately cease & desist using my material.
Your're Elvis?
THEN... HE IS ALIVE!
Shan, you're a real firecracker!
Let me reiterate... "Thank you, thank you very much..."
No, Shanah I'm not Elvis...
The one singer that people have actually confused me for is Jerry Rivera. He's a very famous Puerto Rican salsa singer. (You can check google images although more recently I don't think we look alike at all.)
I got that confusion all the time when I was in Puerto Rico though, because I got a terrible haircut that looked just like the one he had in the "Cuenta Conmigo" album. (Shakira's new hit "Hips don't lie" extensively uses the music from one of his songs on that album.)
I once got stopped by a woman in San Jose who insisted I was Jerry Rivera. I had ask her "If I'm Jerry Rivera then what am I doing in San Jose driving a Ford Tempo?"
People also say I look like the ugliest actor in Hollywood, Benecio del Toro and like the (very gay) Mexican singer Juan Gabriel. Not very flattering-- but it could be worse, I could get mistaken for John Lafontaine.
Bro. John La Fontaine is a dear. Do you know him? Granted, he is not much in the looks department, but with so much talent in his family, who needs looks! His youngest daughter, Sherri, is going to me my manager at Levis Commons. I am pretty proud to have a celeb working for me!
woa! I just checked out that Jerry rivera. I don't remember you looking like that. I think I would've remembered!!
Israel,
I didn't mean for that to saound mean. I'll give you this much, you look more like Jerry Rivera than Bro John LaFontaine.
Ok, I checked out the other two. You are much better looking than Benicio del Toro, He is scary looking. Of the three , you definitely look like the gay guy.
Aww, man, and I was about to break out my blue suede shoes and go follow you around like a groupie. Guess it's back to the drawing board for me...
Yeah, Becca and I just looked at the three 'look alike' choices, and I agree with mom. You look the most like the gay guy. (sorry)
It's a shame that you don't look more like Jerry Rivera, though... =)
Well before Jerry started pumping iron and while I was still a law student, we actually did look very much alike even though I was in my twenties and I think he was only 18.
We've both changed, he became more of a hunk and I became more of a chunk. I got old and he still looks like a kid.
Actually the older I get, the more I look like my mom, I think. My wife says I look just like her except my "features are larger and more grotesque."
Rofl Christine!
