On Wednesday I turned in my moot court brief.  That's the one with the Ten-Error Rule (if I have more than ten errors, including putting the period in the wrong place in a complicated legal citation, I fail the class).  On Thursday I had my first hearing (I won).  Today I'm with my family celebrating my sister's birthday.  Meanwhile we're still negotiating with the landlords about how much compensation they're willing to give us in order to have us move out so they can convert the building to TIC's.  We haven't reached a "meeting of the minds" yet, and I think

Thanks to Curtis for bringing this one to my attention.

Anyone else have a good story about scamming the scammers?

Good news on the apartment front.  I don't have to move out in two weeks.  We told the landlords we're willing to move out in mid-April and they said that's fine.  We haven't worked out a final agreement yet; Yelena and I want to take a few more days so we don't feel rushed into an agreement.

My landlords are selling the building and trying to create a TIC. Kinda like converting the building to condos. Yelena and I realized after about 15 minutes last night that we don't have enough money to buy our apartment as a TIC.

Actually, we don't HAVE to move in two weeks. We could choose to stay longer, until it's convenient for us. Namely, the end of the school year. But, we have spring break in two weeks so that's as good a time as any. The only problem is Yelena is busy preparing for finals and I have my damn brief, this isn't a good time to go apartment hunting.
