Sometimes being a student has perks. You can get discounts on movie tickets, your car insurance rates can be lower...and you can get a year of Amazon Prime for free!
Amazon Prime is awesome, and you get all sorts of bonuses for being a member. Normally a year of membership is $79, but if you have a .edu email address you can get one year free, and a second year at half-price!
The best part of Prime, for me, is the free two day shipping! So even though my loan money might not come in until the 13th or so, I can still order the books I need after I get that money and have them in time!
Hey, that's one less expense to put on my credit card!!

Sections and Class Lists Are Up!
For anyone going into 1L at SMU next year, the class and section lists are now up on SMU Access. You can see your section, your professor, your schedule, and your book lists!
Section 1, represent!
Personally, I have one class on Mondays, a full day Tuesday through Thursday, and I'm done by 11:15 (I think) on Fridays. And I'm in section 4 for LRWA.
PS - This is my 100th post in 2011! Yayyyyyyyyy. Thanks for reading, thanks for your emails and comments. Comment more! I'm no expert, but I'm happy to give you my opinion about anything!

How to Waive or Elect Health Care Coverage
For Katie Cristina (and anyone else wanting the answer to her question):
The way to waive or elect health care coverage is really, really simple. Go to SMU Access and log in. On the front page the second "Announcement" involves the steps you can take to waive or elect coverage. Click on the link and it will take you to the proper page.
It asks you to fill out a form regarding your current insurance coverage, and then you can elect or waive coverage from there. If you don't waive coverage by a certain date, then you'll be automatically enrolled in the health insurance program (SHIP).
I wish I could give you more information, but SMU Access is down for maintenance right now. It's pretty easy to figure out, though.
EDIT: All right, the website is back up. Go to your Access.SMU account, log in, and click "Student Center." On the right hand side in the bar that is titled "Other Links" you should see a link that says "Health Insurance." Click on that link, and it will take you through a 4-step process to waive coverage. You will have to give them all of your insurance information, and they may decline your request to waive coverage.
You have until August 26, 2011 to elect or waive coverage. If you do nothing on or before the 26th, you will be charged. This year's cost is $759 PER SEMESTER.

This is the Sound of Silence
One last family hurrah before I leave for school in a few weeks! Since I'll be in Atlanta (sans laptop), odds are that I won't be posting until at least Thursday of next week. Don't worry, I'm not dead, nor have I deserted you in favor of business school.
In the words of my very (in)famous governator, I'll be back!

But What I Really Wanted to Be...
Yes, I'm going to law school (moving in two weeks, eeek!). But what I really wanted to be was...
An upscale wedding planner! I'm very good at coordinating events, and my flower arrangement ideas (and executions) are always awesome, if I do say so myself. One of the many reasons I loved my old job.
