Summer Quarter Rules!

The Lost One has recently come to the conclusion that the summer quarter is the best quarter of the year. Ok, sure, the sun is out and it's hot enough out to make the commute...Unpleasant, and The Lost One is fighting a rear guard action on two-fronts against both Summer fever(Spring fever's evil cousin) and burnout. Still, smaller class size, actually good course in The Lost One's major (the first time since Fall quarter this has been so), and not merely classes from other majors with high politics content (like the class on Media and Government in the field of communication with the odious he who must not be named), and teachers who aren't carrying around egos big enough to have their own weather. The translation on that last one usually means Grad. Students, but the Lost One has discovered one hideous exception. All year long the Lost One has been...Vocally upset (read: wenching) on the lack of small classes taught by full professors. Usually a small class is taught by a grad. Student, or is one hundred plus in attendance. Given these facts the Lost One has had a devil of a time getting letters of recommendation from full professors. So much trouble in fact the Lost One was forced to forget about a LOR from a full professor, opting instead for a letter from a Grad. Student and a former teacher from his last college. Allof that changed when this summer the Lost One began a class of only fifteen students taught not only by a full professor, but one who has taken on the extra responsibility of Chairing My Department! Now that the Lost One has applied to Law Schools gotten in to one, and needs no more LORs, it is possible for the Lost One to make a favorable impression on said professor, and have him say, "My gosh that Lost One is a bright boy. I think I will make him my Gentlemen friend and write him a LOR that will boost his career to unforeseen heights and allow him to apply to better law schools." Drat.
