Day 2 started similarly to Day 1 with a large group of us being herded into a lecture hall for class. There was some discussion of the book we read, but it mostly consisted of learning court structures and the timeline of the case described in our book. After class, I had a few questions for the professor, so I stayed for a few extra minutes. Mistake. I was now the loser who had nobody to eat lunch with. Nobody had stuck around to get lunch with me, nor had anybody invited me earlier to join them. Everybody ran out to go get lunch in small groups together, which left me to walk a few blocks downtown and buy lunch by myself and bring it back to school. I brought it to the cafeteria, where I caught a break and found another 1L eating at a table, so I went and joined him. It was a pretty sucky feeling going and getting lunch alone, and I was worried that all the perceived progress I had made the day before was for naught. The rest of the day was kind of colored by that severe blow to my self-esteem, which made the afternoon session drag on a bit. Luckily, one of the people I met yesterday was willing to meet up and go to the orientation drink session.
So, we ended up meeting and going over to the 79th Street Boat Basin Cafe around 8, and stayed until about 11:15. I hung out with the same small group of people the whole time, and we had a very nice time. Thus was my ego patched after the morning's disaster. There's really not much more to say right now, so I'll leave this blog off here.
