Things I learned at law school orientation this week: [View All]

[eyesroll]

"Facebook" is a verb. You can conjugate it. "I facebooked my orientation group last night!" Don't ask me what it means.

Just because you think you don't have a first-day Torts assignment, and it was never posted to the class web site, and nobody has any way of knowing whether there actually is an assignment and if so what it is, does not mean you do not have a first-day assignment. Keep checking right up until you get into class. (As of 4:30 Friday, I do not have a first-day Torts assignment.)

My peers are apparently "kids." I did not realize this, even though most are younger than I am. "I live with two kids in a loft." "Oh, really?! How old are they? We have a nearly four-year-old at home!" "Uh...they're my age. Law students."

"Henry Lee" seems to be a good line-waiting earworm, although nobody agrees with me. (Nobody has heard of "Henry Lee" or Nick Cave, and nobody could fathom why anyone would record an entire album about murder.)

That apparently, people who are 22-23 don't realize that "Saved By The Bell" was ever a first-run show. When you tell them you graduated high school the same year the SBTB kids did, you may as well be telling them you would have graduated the same year as that guy from Los Lobos, if he hadn't died tragically in that plane crash.

Precious little about law or law school.

Still...everything seemed to go well. Classes start Monday! :bounce:
