Catfish and Pool Volleyball

(For 8/11/12)


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.
