Our law school classrooms are designed kind of like a movie theater – the farther back the seats, the higher they are. Last semester, in a couple classes, I sat towards the front of the room where the seats are lowest. It felt kind of weird. It felt like I was sitting in the “the pit” of the classroom. This semester, I vowed to avoid the pit and sit farther back. I’ve successfully established myself in all my classes in an area where I feel comfortable – except for one.
I got to Con Law (law student speak for Constitutional Law) early enough to find myself an aisle seat towards the back (and save seats for two friends). I was happy. Then, the professor walks in and says “OK, we’re gonna have some chaos, ‘cause I have a seating chart.” With that, everyone got up and moved. Yes, it was chaos, for about five minutes.
When all was said and done, I found myself in the pit once again. Fantastic. All that work for naught.
I suppose I could ask to be moved, but I like the people I’m sitting near, so I’ll leave it be. One classmate, on the other hand (I know you’re reading this, dude) jumped up immediately and asked to be moved to the seat he takes in every class – right up front. I knew I could count on you…

If that's the case, I guess it's a good thing I put in my application to transfer to the Tijuana School of Law.

We're withdrawing your application. You're obviously not fit to practice. You might as well drop out of law school now and save your money. And while you're at it, give your notes to the guy with the glasses who runs this website.

It will happen some day, and I feel sorry for the person who does it. "I want this guy dead! I want his family dead! I want his house burned to the ground! I want to go there in the middle of the night and piss on his ashes!"

I'd like to see what Sam would do if someone sat in his seat.

My friend Sarah really likes to come in to each class and sit in a different seat each time to at least freak everyone out a little tiny bit. It really freaks me out a little tiny bit when she's in MY SEAT.

At least I didn't have to resort to begging, bribery and, if needed, crying and stamping my feet.
