Legal studies
Lesson 1: Deposits and Returns
1. The store does not need to return the deposit unless it was stated that the deposit was refundable. If it is not then it is not their obligation to return the deposit. However they may choose to return the deposit to keep the customer happy.
2. a) The store was under legal obligation to hold the cherries for Mrs. Popowich. They had made an verbal contract from which both parties benefited. Mrs. Popowich would have gotten the cherries, and the manager got a $2 deposit.
However, if in the contract Mrs. Popowich had to return the same day, then the contract would have been violated and the store manager was no longer under legal obligation to hold the cherries.
2. b) Depending on the circumstances, yes. If she didn't need to be back the same day, then he violated the terms of which they had agreed upon.
3. a) Sonia should be able to return the knife because it doesn't work, however she may have to send it away to the company that made the knife, if the company who makes the knife had a money back guarantee.
3. b) Sherry wouldn't be able to return the sweater because it was her carelessness that caused the sweater to shrink. Plus most stores only allow you to return unworn and unwashed merchandise.
3. c) No he would not be able to return the saw unless it said it was meant to cut metal pipes, and if it was, there may be a manufacturer's warranty or money back guarantee from the manufacturer.
3. d) Yes Denzel would be able to return the shirts and get a refund, because he wanted to buy short sleeve shirts and the store sold him long sleeve shirts, and as long as they are unworn he should be able to get a refund.
4. Kim should get no satisfaction from returning to the store. She only had a week to return them, and she showed up a month later with gloves that are ripped and worn. She was informed of the store's policy so she should not have her money returned. However they may give her store credit, if they want to keep her happy.
5. Most stores have return policies, where under certain conditions you can return something you have bought. Though by law they aren't obligated to, they do because they value the customers. They want them to be happy, in hopes for the consumer to buy from their store again.
Lesson 2: Making Contracts
1. Bus/Cab ride. Buying Lunch. Going bowling, swimming, skating. Going to an amusement park. Buying clothes. Renting somewhere to live. Credit/debt cards. Renting a movie. Libray card.
2. No a contract hasn't been established. The taxi driver did not say anything. He did not agree to anything, and did not ask for something in return. While it is implied that he agrees because he starts driviing you to your destination, because he says nothing there is no contract.

First day of second semester.
Ok so today went, alright.
Considering the screaming match with my dad first thing this morning,
and now they are being complete douche bags.
Both of them, need to go die somewhere and piss right the fuck off.
So I have legal studies, which is online and i can access it from home.
So I plan to work on that and like work ahead, so I actually pass something- plus i find it very interesting so far.
Second I have science.
Which is so great! Pierce is in my class.
And he actually came and at with me, I guess me and him are like friends now.
Which is nice after like a four year battle.
And My science teacher is (so cute, 25) so upbeat and fun.
And it sounds like he knows his stuff, so maybe chemistry wont suck.
And he says hes always there at 8 every morning, so if i need help, i can get it without looking lame in front of the class.
Third I have P.E
Which Was so effing boring.
First day, all we do is sit and talk, and talk, and talk.
So when we got up to play basketball i was happy.
And whats best is that is what we are starting with.
I (heart) Basketball!
Finally I have math.
Which so far isn't bad, except i can not remember anything about integers!
Like really its been 2 years since i have done any math.
So yeah, brain fart.
Ms. Sorensen gave us a little booklet to do, by Friday.
I can have it done for tomorrow.
Sheesh.
And finally, I wont be sitting alone tomorrow.
A***** knows its my birthday so hes taking me for lunch,
he is such a sweetheart.
Honestly i wasn't sure if i should, because i dint want him thinking were getting engaged or anything.
Lol he is great, but he has had a crush on me since 8th grade, so it can get weird with him sometimes.
And i am going for my tattoo first week of march. Because my mom still needs time.
Were getting tattoos together.
She has a unicorn on her shoulder and this pretty thing my cousin drew up for her on her left calf.
It is like hearts with Justin's and my first initials.
Its so pretty.
But now she wants one for my dad, a little dragon, but she hasn't found one she likes yet.
So yeah her birthday is march 5th so were going like around then.
I wish it could be sooner, but oh well.
Shes paying for it and signing for it, so i Really cant complain.
