I received an email from my mentor at GMU. She's a 3rd year student who studied chemistry and forensics, worked for a few years, then went to law school to study intellectual property.

It's nice that the school promotes this mentoring system. I plan to take advantage of it and every other chance I have for help. This may seem obvious to some, but I have a habit of trying to figure everything out myself, even when asking someone for help is the right thing to do. In law school, I'm sure I won't have time to be stubborn about this. I will have to ask others to lend me the benefit of their experience and knowledge.

They're having a happy hour tomorrow which I may try to go to, but I'll meet her on Saturday at orientation anyway... (Did I mention that the orientation is an entire day, and we already had to read a case in preparation?) Crazy.
