Did you think it was going to be that easy??

Well second week of school and it feels like I am being overwhelmed, and here I thought, hmm last hard quarter shouldn’t be too bad. I was so far from the truth; my law class is going to be a tough one, since being such a small class it is easier to get picked on. I better do the reading or else, he was a little bit upset on Monday since nobody was answer any of the questions, he said “If I get the impression that you guys aren’t doing the readying I’ll slap you with a pop quiz.”. I quickly took a big dry gulp and since sitting about 5 feet from him, I was preying to God for him not to look my way and pick on me. I guess you can call this the Socratic Method with a little undergrad modification. I’ll probably stay up tonight to finish the reading if I know what is good for me. The class is very interesting and I can sense my motivation to learn.

I was pondering something for the last couple of days, in class we talked about a case that a Judge, after forensic research, found that many convicts that were sentences to the death penalty really hadn’t committed the crime therefore the judge found the death penalty unconstitutional . The Supreme Court quickly overruled his adjudication and reinstated the Death Penalty. The evidence clearly shows that the convicts were really not guilty then why the court overruled the judgment. Perhaps I am going at this the wrong way and maybe I should just accept that if the lawyers does not do a very good job their client could suffer very bad consequences, I guess in the perfect world if you really did the crime you will be found guilty and if you didn’t do the crime then you should be found innocent. I believe that this is going to be the hardest concept to understand…

Senior project status: Let’s see, we need to still order to two servo motors to control the front wheels, built the amplifier, buy the sensors, get the batteries, built the dc motor control circuit X4 and finally put it all together and order the PCB. wow, all this has to be done in about 8 weeks. I hope taking 20 units this quarter was a good idea. Well back to my reading
