Class Scheduling For Dummies

posted by Grant

Trying to schedule your classes in law school can be such a hassle.  There are too many students trying to get into too few classes.  There are too few seats available in all of the classes, and most of the classes are only offered at one time during the semester.  Some classes are only offered in the Spring, some only in the Fall.  You get the idea.

(Bill Clinton, John McCain, this poor guy, various members of Congress) 

So the next time you doze off in class just be thankful no one is filming you... at least that you're aware of.

If you are really struggling with falling asleep in class, perhaps Jimmy Kimmel can help.
