First Day of Orientation

Well, thus far it's been the obligatory introductions of all the people in charge of my life for the next three years followed by a truly enjoyable hour-long headache with the IT people. We clogged the network. Go figure. So now there's a lecture hall full of people with raised hands, confused faces, and I believe I saw one guy try to perform Avada Kedavra on the poor IT lady. *Sigh* Computers.....

Mine's up and running, so that's good. But yeah...we're only an hour and a half in and I'm frustrated and can barely keep my eyes open. I know what you're thinking: Lori, pay attention!! Well, right now we're at the noise level equivalent to indoor recess in a fourth grade classroom and the chaos? Well, let's just say Guernica had nothing to complain about in comparison. (Too soon?). On the plus side, I don't have to worry about buying Microsoft Office if I get a smaller computer because we get it free through the school. Also online document backup. And a bunch of other crap I won't know how to use lol.


EVERYone has a Mac. I'm like, one of five kids with a regular PC. Weird.

By the way, generally speaking a law school class is supposed to be about 200 students. For some reason, they only accepted 128 of us....apparently it's like that every year. I wonder if they're trying to keep their rejection rates up? Trying to keep things exclusive? Like keeping class sizes small? I don't know...They have the normal amount of applicants comparable to other schools. Idk....Ijdek....


Ugh, the obligatory 'I'm trying to throw out legal terms I know to impress everyone' guy. Joyyyy. The people who did the summer session here don't have to come to all of orientation, so they left to get breakfast. My friend texted me and said one guy is already having drinks (please note- that's plural). That was around 10:15 am.....welcome to law school! lol

Now we're being walked through how to write a case brief. God help me. I've written dozens of briefs, WHY AM I HERE?!

Last night was my first night in my apartment. Technically I lived alone in Village, but nine times out of ten I had at least one of the gang there to spend the night. Thus, I'm living alone for the first time in my life. It's weird. It was way too quiet. It was kind of odd because there was no one just down the hall if I got bored or sad to talk to. I'll get used to it, and really it's not that I hated it, I just missed 303 a little :) I think once I get a bed and all that I'll feel more at home. And once I figure out how to not breathe in the smell of deep fried food and curry from the outside door to my apartment I'll be just fine.

I'm exhausted. I can't keep my eyes open! Ugh.
