I'm glad orientation is over so I don't have to hear any more first year talking about the scholars they've been reading or hoping to work with, or using big words (often incorrectly) for the sake of sounding smart. Once the semester gets going most people calm down and find their place and get comfortable, but there are still those few who seem determined to make sure everyone knows that they intend to get a PhD, and have read all of Barth, and have already read far beyond the curriculum.
