I spent the day on campus running school errands and attending an orientation for the journal. The new 1Ls were there in force as well, running around looking a combination of proud and bewildered. Sitting in the lobby watching them pass by I could immediately identify them, although granted I was aided by the fact that unlike lots of the 2Ls and 3Ls I'd never seen them before. Their body language was different, more upright in a way. They had not yet become stooped with the burdens of carrying their books or the stress that slowly weighs you down the first year.
More interesting were the 2Ls. We greeted each other and compared our summers and our courseloads. This is where we finally get interesting and differentiate ourselves, where for better or worse we are finally in charge of our own destiny (at least more so than 1Ls with their prescribed regimen). We're a year apart from the incoming 1Ls, but somehow it seems like a lifetime.
Edit 11/26: Per request below (and it's a good idea anyway) I finally syndicated the blog.

My dear, do you suppose you could syndicate your blog? It would make it ever so much easier for me to read it. :-)

A little off-topic but just wanted to say I liked the layout of the site
