First Day of Orientation!

Just finished the first day of orientation and a little intimidated, but not quite as nervous anymore. I got there a little late this morning because parking at Regent is horrible! The first hour was for getting paperwork done and mingling with other new 1L's so it wasn't too big of a problem. Tomorrow I am definitely leaving earlier though. The Dean introduced himself to me and the two girls I was sitting with during the mingling time and he was really friendly so that was calming for my nerves since I also have him as a teacher. After that we went into the mock trial room and heard from some speakers on introduction to law school basics and about study skills. We also had basically the first day of our Legal Analysis class today, since what we are learning in Orientation is potentially going to be on our final. They provided us a lunch which was actually pretty good. After lunch we learned how to brief cases and did a few examples. We start our property class lectures tomorrow, which is also going to be potentially covered on our final exam. They already gave us homework too! I have to read 4 cases and a statute and brief the 4 cases. I did make two friends today which is good :) I met a bunch of other people who were all very nice as well so the school year shouldn't be too bad! At the end of lunch I received an email from the Financial Aid office that said I owed about $17,500, due before the 22nd.  I panicked a little and went to the Financial Aid officer after orientation to straighten things out. The Financial Aid office sent me to the Business office and it turned out there was a glitch in the system which caused me to be billed double for everything including tuition. They got that straightened out thank goodness so all went pretty well today.  Off to office max to buy some school supplies!
