. . . and counting. Hers recapped our evening, so I'll talk a little about our day, or at least my day as we were separated for most of the morning. For some reason, we still got up at 6:30 in the morning despite the fact that we didn't need to be at the school until 9:45. No sense getting soft on the sleeping schedules at this point. Next week we're going to need to be at the school before 8:00.
Our day started with an assembly style greeting. The aggregate IQ of any group of people seems to fall as the number of people in the group increases. We started with a typical greeting and a few of those inane questions Hers mentioned yesterday.
Next on the agenda was a discussion about how to succeed in law school and then we broke into smaller groups to discuss reading and briefing cases. For those that aren't up on all the law school lingo, a brief is a summary of a case you use for your own purpose. That way when the professor calls on you, you have an answer in front of you (notice I said an answer, not the answer; I'm not that presumptiuous). This was actually the highlight of my day as it was closer to an actual class.
For lunch, we broke into our sections for the first time. Again, for those who aren't familiar with the concept, a section is essentially the group of people you'll be spending the next year with. Everyone in a section has the same schedule so we're all in the same class at the same time. We also all share the same advisor, who we meet and had lunch with this afternoon. We got out of lunch a bit early and with Hers still having fun with her section, I broke out Webster v. Blue Ship Tea House and started reading about the cullinary standards of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It was the most entertaining case we've read yet.
We ended the day with a discussion of the school's technology resources and a diversity pep talk.Tomorrow it's more of the same with a sample class to look forward too.(and an Alumni Panel that I'm sure will be fascinating). The reading schedule for next week is intimidating, but it should be certainly be interesting.

I'm amazed you two find time to blog. I suppose your posts will be few and far between in the coming weeks.
Hey, can you send me your new email addies?
Hi Les,
We've seen our first assignments for this week already and it's not going to be fun. They're taking it easy on us in orientation, but that's about to come to an end. We'll see how many posts we get up next week :)
