Orientation Week

There have been several social events in the last few days--a minor league ballgame, a barbecue, etc.--to introduce the incoming 1Ls to each other and warm everyone up for the new school year. Being the gung-ho, all-in law student that I am, I attended three. It was nice to see some familiar faces.
I particularly enjoyed chatting with a few 1Ls about their expectations and worries. That first year is so hyped and so full of pomp and circumstance that nostalgia sets in almost contemporaneously. The new students are probably already sick of us 2Ls and 3Ls hanging around them, trying to soak up their innocence and enthusiasm.
