the social side of the law

So here I am, sitting in the 'commons' at my law school. This is the third week of school, so obviously I should be surrounded by all my friends, laughing, and enjoying a good ol' lunch break. Well I am laughing, at how seriously pathetic my attempts at making friends have been.
To start, the only friend I have managed to make so far [and I am measuring friend on the frequency that I talk to a person] is Mr. D. Let me tell you a little about Mr. D... He is 53, and smacks his lips when he finds cases extremely interesting. He likes the color beige, and drinks a lot of diet soda.
Today a girl in my class was *actually* going to say hello to me, but instead she walked into a door, I laughed at her and promptly walked away. I'm really on the fast track to be known as the nice quiet girl.
I find my self alone outside the school building, sitting in the grass with all the ants and trying to construct a grass ring to give to my new & possible bestie. whats this you say? i have reverted back to my grade school self? an impossibly awkward, not so closeted loner, with an unshaking love of nature? I suppose all of this is true.
I have even constructed the 'popular' table in my head. Oh, you know the table. The one with all the young attractive people who are constantly laughing. Why are they laughing? What is soooo funny? My grass ring I suppose
Anyways I guess i shouldn't be too concerned about all of this, I am here to learn .... right?
