Kelsey could almost hear the collected sigh of relief. “But trust me,” Keith warned, “You’re going to want to take it seriously. Students who haven’t completed assignments on time or have screwed around have found themselves in front of the Dean and have been required to take Summer Session to make up for it. And I imagine most of you would like to be in an internship this coming summer, instead of looking at Ms. Davis’s unsmiling face.” The warning had been heard. The students shifted in their seats and started to pay closer attention.  

    “So you will complete several assignments over the year,” he continued. “You don’t need to note them now, because I’ll go over everything again when we meet next month. For your reference though, at least three will be with your assigned teammate, one will be with a larger team and one will be in-div-idual.” he said, sounding out the last word for emphasis and smiling at the pretty girl, who had returned her attention to her iPhone. You’ll meet your teammate in October, and the larger team will be assigned later. You get a break after Thanksgiving, so all of you don’t fail your exams, then we’ll be back together after the holidays. Does anyone have any questions?” He looked around the room again.  

    A boy raised his hand timidly. “Yes?” Keith asked.  

    “What if our assigned partner doesn’t do any work?”  

    Keith nodded thoughtfully. “Well. that’s just like life, isn’t it? Sometimes your team sucks. I would recommend that you pick up the pieces and do the work necessary to get the job done.”

    “But that’s not fair!” the boy exclaimed.  

    “Life isn’t fair. Which is why you’re sitting in that chair and so many of your college classmates are at third-rate law schools around the country. But you’re a Darrow student now. You’ve got to make the most of your opportunities. If it’s any consolation, or perhaps it’s a reminder, we do notice the slacker students. They don’t make it to second year. So I suggest that each and every one of you get ready for what will probably be the most challenging year of your life, and start thinking about how you’re going to put five assignments into your busy schedule.” He looked around the room. Kelsey noted that almost everyone looked as scared as she felt.  

    “If there are no further questions, that will be all for now. On your way out, please pick up the schedule for the rest of your first week. Although I won’t be here this afternoon, this small group will be your group for orientation. So you’ll be meeting some of the professors here later today. Feel free to hang back if you have any other questions.” The students stood up and most of them headed out, while a few headed to talk to Keith, who was leaning on the podium. Kelsey noticed that the pretty questioner was in line.  

    She glanced at her phone as she headed out. Kelsey had silenced it for the presentation.  

    Where are you? I’m starving! Jessica had asked 10 minutes ago.  

    We started late. On my way. In the room?

    Sitting in front of the Student Center.  

    I’m going to ask Dylan to join us, Kelsey wrote. She walked out of the room and took one of the schedules which had been left on the table. She noticed that three of the nametags had not been picked up.  

    Nice! I’ll finally get to meet him! Jessica replied.  

    Kelsey messaged Dylan, then placed her phone in her pocket and headed down the stairs, behind her fellow students. She noticed that her group seemed to be the only one left in the building. Kelsey walked out into the cool fall day and headed, like most of the rest of the students, to the Student Center. When she arrived, she found Jessica sitting on the low ledges and Dylan standing off to her right. Kelsey waved and they both waved back. Then Jessica and Dylan looked at each other and laughed. They were shaking hands as Kelsey walked up.  

    “You don’t look anything like
