ciroccojDude! What... happened... to... L... J...?
Just went to my first Orientation Week event. It's been going on for the whole week, but I really didn't feel like sitting through the Motivational Speech Extravaganza again, after enduring it last year. Tonight's event was titled "Choosing a Legal Path", which I figured would be more practical. I figured there might be tables with info on different career paths or something.
No, no, no no nonono. Forty-five minutes of listening to how we are now embarking upon an adventure, a grand profession, an ancient and honourable calling, a chance to serve, to protect, to give to our society, our people, our compatriots as freely and nobly as we have received and regretted and redundated grade thirteen hors d'ouevres - huh? Sorry, started to drift off a little there.
Anyway, I did get some lovely hors d'ouevres and a free glass of white wine, met a few other mature students - we all sort of clumped together eventually - and ran into a guy from my graduating class in high school. Haven't seen him since 1989, I think. He played pro hockey for ten years, in North America, then Europe, then coached and did an MBA, and now he's starting law school. Very, very bizarre, running into him. We chatted a little bit about what we've done in the last fourteen years, and what little we knew of the other folks from our school. Not a lot, since we weren't in the same social circles so we didn't have a lot of pals in common. He was more from the sports-popular crowd, I was more from the geeky-studying crowd. Funny how long ago that seems now - like a whole other lifetime.
For anybody who's interested, here's his hockey career. Ah, the power of Google. Oh, BTW,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
