Social Life in Law School

During our orientation "activities" our Dean and others continuously stressed that... WE MUST MAINTAIN A SOCIAL LIFE during law school. They urged us not to have a bunker mentality (*adios folks, I'm going to law school, I'll see you in May*). And, to aid us in all this, they hosted SEVERAL social events. But, I'm starting to feel more burdened with social events then homework. The day before orientation there was a "bar thing" - the first day of orientation there was a mini-gathering during orientation and then another "bar thing" (nothing like getting drunk with classmates before you even know their names)... day two of orientation there was a bbq and then there was a "beer thing" hosted by the school itself - (i posted this before too) - kegs of watered down beer, right on campus (and free)! And then there was the Harbor Cruise (aka - Booze Cruise - with free drink tickets!).... and then we had a Section Social and today we have the "welcome back social" hosted by the dean (no alcohol but free food and a big picnic basically). (And tonight is dinner with my advisor - though I guess thats not necessarily considered part of the "Social Activities" it is social nonetheless).

Day by day, I get more and more nervous about finals. I mean, everyone says first year is killer... so, it must be the finals that kill you right?!?!?!?!
