Earlier this semester I befriended an LLM student at a law school social event. She was a cool girl and I felt a lot of sympathy for her since she came to study here from another country. I remember what it was like to be the lonely foreign kid, so I was happy to include her in our group. (Nobel Peace Prize nomination forms available here) In fact, I kept inviting her out after that, but she never responded.
