Orientation Day 1

It really went just how the schedule was planned. I didn't spot anyone in a suit so that was great. My small section was made up of roughly 35-40 people and so far I haven't made any friends with anyone from this group, but not to worry, there'll be plenty of time to get to know them intimately.

My co-counsels (2L's who're supposed to answer any questions we might have) seemed really nice and not too caught up with law school life. There were about 6 people I met earlier this year when I visited Moritz but none of them were in my section...bummer.

There were no memorable orientation quotes (like look around you, half the people here will not survive the 1st yr) but there was a guy from the substance abuse program of ohio (disclaimer: I didn't write this website down when he said it...google). He was by far the most pessimistic of all the speakers. His closing remark, "...by the end of your 3rd year, 40% of you will be abusing either drugs or alcohol..." Now that inspires confidence in our journey going forth!
