I See Different People

Last semester, my entire schedule was set and pretty regularized. Every day of every week, I saw the same people (namely the people in my Mod and my uber-Mod, 4, 5, 6). Our schedule was especially taxing, and so I rarely saw non-1L’s. I also rarely saw people outside my uber-Mod, since each uber-Mod had a different schedule setup. For example, I never saw people from Mods 1, 2, or 3, since their schedules were so different. As a result, I simply concluded that they didn’t exist, like Wyoming. I even had a name for them: the "Mythical Mods."

Now that some of my classes are electives, I’m seeing lots of people I’ve never seen before. I can only assume that they are either 2L’s , 3L’s, or people from the Mythical Mods.

As I sit here now in the library, I’m looking around and seeing completely foreign faces. I’m also seeing people who I used to only run into in the hallways. During passing periods, I notice that almost everyone in the locker room is foreign to me. In a way it's nice to know that the law school is so diverse, but it's also weird, like in high school when there were people at your graduation you were only seeing for the first time.
