life in law school: orientation! (wear comfortable shoes.)

[julie anne]

There are a several things I learned yesterday, during the Chapman School of Law 1L orientation.

First, law school orientation means swag. 

After signing in during orientation registration, the nice people behind the table handed me a nifty messenger bag with law school merch inside. I'm talking a lunch bag, an accordion file folder, a 1GB flash drive and a nice pen in a nice box. Awesome because I had yet to purchase a flash drive and was planning to purchase one. Not so awesome because I had decided to walk to school that morning.

Which brings me to the second thing I learned yesterday: Your business casual shoes that were kinda comfortable when you put them on at 7 a.m. are not so comfortable when you've been running around to get your student parking pass, your student ID, and your law books. 

My feet were so angry at me by the end of the day, that I decided to just wait on the hefty law tomes because I knew there was no way I was going to be lugging them home in addition to my laptop bag and my swag bag.

The third and final thing I learned yesterday - in addition to the usual stuff about succeeding in law school, being healthy in law school, not being a smelly hermit, etc. -  is that law school students are not so scary as they are sometimes made out to be and as I had imagined them to be.

Besides the tons of people who introduced themselves early on during orientation, the law students we were assigned to sit with during the lunch hour were more than willing to give us pointers on surviving law school, and also volunteered honest evaluations of some of the teachers listed on our schedules.

Sure, there were students who made unnecessary comments during some sessions, and some people who had already formed cliques and had erected their clique-y walls, but on the whole, everyone I met was friendly and open.

Turns out that the only enemies I had that day were my angry, mutinous feet.

I found the same thing in my law school orientation. People were scared but friendly. Things were a bit competitive but not too much. We all just wanted to start out the year getting along.

The oddest thing, though, is that most students wore flipflops to orientation. It seemed like most students don't think they should dress professionally for even the start of professional school. Or else they think flip flops ARE professional attire. Either way, I felt a bit out of sync in my nice shoes and my skirt and blouse. (I, too, had an angry foot at the end of the day.)

The swag totally rocked, though!

These shoes look really good. Like this style shoe. They remind me of the way I used to draw shoes on women when I was little. Nevertheless, I'd just say they're ok, but only for the show.

I love blog, because any person can blog in their own feelings and to share things with. But i suppose the blog could only be improved if you posted more often.

Believe it or not, the correct answer to every question is A, B, and C -- even that Saturday afternoon snooze! According to the growing "Stealth Health" movement, sneaking healthy habits into our daily living is easier than we think.

All is but lip-wisdom that wants experience.Expericence is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards. Do you think so?

Some unseen fingers, like an idle breeze, are playing upon my heart the music of the ripples. Do you understand?
