Law School Discussion

I paid AT LEAST $850 for books this past semester and my school bookstore is offering me a measly $75 for them.  @#!* that.  Is there anywhere online that I can ship the books to for a decent amount of store credit that I can use towards future purchases (as in books for this upcoming semester)?  My assumption is that this store credit system would be more cost-efficient because the book vendor knows that you'll be using that credit at their store and will likely be willing to part with more store-credit than they would actual greenbacks. 

I know Barrister Books does something like this, but is there anything better out there? What have you guys found to be the best rate of return on used books and where can one order law books for cheapest? 

I'm a 1L that's feeling just a bit overwhelmed with my workload, and it's mainly due to one of my classes.  My civ pro professor assigns me more reading than all of my other classes combined.  To be honest, it's really affecting my performance in all of my classes and I'm pretty sure he realizes that he's burying his students in reading material.  I don't find any of my other courses particularly difficult, but with the workload I'm receiving in civ pro (often over 200 pages a class twice a week), I feel as though I don't have time to do anything else other than study.  I've talked to students in other sections with different professors and they seem to have time to relax and go out a few times a week, whereas I'm locked up in my room reading from the time I wake up until I go to bed.  Did I just get the short end of the stick or are professors like this common? 

All I can do at this point is suck it up and hope I don't burn myself out come finals. 

I'm calling LSAC to ask them about something, but the automated machine asks me for my soc sec #, then my pin #.  I don't recall ever receiving a pin # from LSAC? 

Where are you supposed to put your name?  Are you supposed to indent paragraphs?  What size margins?  I'm so used to following the MLA-style that I'm unfamiliar with what a PS is supposed to look like.  If somebody could direct me to an example or something I would be grateful.

I'm Middle Eastern/Arabic.  I've been told by a professor that Arabic is a religion and not an ethnicity (which is why it is never listed), and that I'm supposed to say that I'm white.  However, I've always considered the term 'Arabic' to encompass it's own ethnic group.  Since this option isn't really available on applications, do I just choose 'other?'
