My first time

8 am. Torts class starts. Professor recites hypothetical situation, looks down at seating chart and calls my name. And thus, my first experience being called on in law school begins. After I answered the question (successfully I think), he moves on to the next victim. Her question is way harder than mine. I don't think I could have answered it. As she struggles through the next 30 minutes of questions, I'm relieved that I was the first person called on. I should be safe for a little while at least.

After class as I am sitting outside reading for another class, the Torts professor comes up to me and asks, "How's it going?" Does this mean that he was impressed with my answer to the point that he wants to make small talk?

Or do I just seem like the kind of person that needs to be monitored to prevent me from taking a dive out of a third story window? How's it going? Any negative emotions today? How does that make you feel?
