A catfish dinner with wonderful strangers and a pool party
with fellow law students: I am beginning to meet the people with whom I will be
sharing this city.
Friday night a friend of my soon-to-be roommate (neither of
whom I’ve met yet) invited me to another friend’s house for a dinner of catfish
and mashed sweet potatoes, followed by frozen yogurt and a pleasant evening
walk through Decatur. I felt like I was
among old friends, yet these were brand new friends.
Today I played pool volleyball and killed time with new
classmates and older law students. There
were some people I’d like to get to know more—and a few I’d like to get to know
less (my brother tells me that number will increase a bit as law school goes
on)—but many potential friends and colleagues.
I’ve never found it too difficult to make new friends, but
so far, it seems especially easy here in the South. I suppose that makes up a bit for the
over-sized spiders.
