Debating in the Rain

Well things are finally starting to settle into a routine thank goodness. Tonight I'm heading over to watch the presidential debate at our dining hall, affectionately known as "Saga." The political science faculty will be there to discuss the outcome of the debate and the issues relevant to the campaign. Speaking of elections, a new effort is underway at Siena to get everyone registered to vote. Whether or not that happens I don't know but its definitely a worthy goal. Our professors, particularly the political science professors, stress the importance of participation. So, if your 18, register and vote...or else...8O)

Looks like there's some rain in the forecast for this weekend. Sometimes that's a good thing, especially when work starts to pile up. Rainy weather is perfect for heading to the library on campus and getting caught up.

One opportunity I had this past week was to sit in on a law school class at Albany Law School. The class was constitutional law, one of my favorite topics. It was nice to get a look at what law school is from the inside. Its amazing how much information you cover in just one class period. In terms of workload the jump from undergraduate school to law school is said to be even greater than the jump between high school and undergraduate school. Another opportunity kids looking into law school have is a trip to New York City to talk to admissions counselors for various law schools in the Northeast. Being a junior its definitely time to start considering, even if you don't want to, life after Siena.

Until next time...
