On another note, I joined the ABA today. I have to join if I want to take part in a negotiation competition. I'm already a member of AAA, so now all that's left for me is AARP, but they probably won't let me in anytime soon.

(As an aside, the negotiation competition is the only big competition open to 1Ls, at least at our school. It's being handled through the Alternative Dispute Resolution Club, of which I was involuntarily elected Secretary last week. This competition seems to be the biggest selling point of this club, which makes for nice irony: overly competitive 1Ls who can't wait to compete at something go and join the ADR club, whose purpose is supposedly to foster a less combative approach to the legal profession in general.)
