I wonder if there are any people who talked to me last year because they thought it looked like I knew what I was doing who won't talk to me anymore because I'm not on the main journal. That would be somewhat along the lines of sad or pitiful.

Comments:
Well, it only took you two days of Journal activity to start plaintively wondering these things. That is, indeed, somewhat along the lines of sad or pitiful.
 
What I meant to say was:

Pull your skirt up - your insecurity is showing.
 
Well, yeah, but isn't that part of the point of doing the whole blogging thing?
 
I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin' - maybe you should wait until somebody actually belittles your journal membership before protesting too much. I mean, it's got just a bit of vicious-circle-self-fulfilling-prophecy going on, doesn't it? Even for a blog?
 
Mike, it is not as though the main law journal at Ohio State is that renown. I didn't even apply to the damn thing because I find most law b-o-r-i-n-g. I could only image doing acc checks on articles I have absolutely zero interest in topic-wise. Best to stick to what you want to do rather than what others think you should do.
 
as a current 3L who read the entire journal packet and then decided I could spend my time on better things, I have never seen anyone not talk to me because of journal status. If so, then they are not worth talking to.
 
Last year there were a few people who acted differently during journal orientation from what appeared to be a sense of self importance. Most of that wore off. And it was also a wonderful screening mechanism for who you really don't want to talk to anyway.
 
I disagree with LvL. I only speak to people on the main journal or who can get me concert tickets.
