fending off the family way

Yet another of my pals has just gone pregnant, leaving me with a grand total of 5 women friends simultaneously in the family way. I'd conjecture as to the contents of the water except that these ladies live all over the country. Maybe 'tis just the season.

That was one good thing about law school -- the distraction value. Suddenly I'm seized with a last-minute urge to take that copyright summer class. Yes, the same one I decided not to take last week. It's so frustrating not to be able to stick to a decision! But things just keep rebalancing...

CON: The class isn't cheap.
PRO: We can afford it.

CON: It's law school again, and I could use some time off.
PRO: If I get too far out of the groove I may never go back.

CON: I can just take it at my own law school next year.
PRO: It'll help me for September on-campus interviewing to have some IP coursework under my belt.
CON: But am I even going to bother with September on-campus interviewing, with all my time caught up between Moot Court and whatever journal I'm on?

CON: It's an evening class, but the exam is on a morning when I'm supposed to be working by the judge.
PRO: The grade doesn't have to count toward my GPA if I don't want it to.

CON: Today is the first class meeting and it might be too late for me to hop on the bus anyway.
PRO: There might still be room in the class, and the university is unlikely to say no to my money.

Spinning wheels...got to go round...
