divine angst

Oh, yeah.

Sometime last night (at least, sometime before midnight), this blog received it’s 100,000th visitor! Yay!

Unfortunately, since I was in Moot Court and was then at home, drugging myself into a stupor so I could sleep, I forgot to check my stats. And since then, I’ve had more than 100 hits, so I can’t go back and see who that visitor was. Sorry. I usually like to give a prize to that visitor. (No, not really. I can’t back that up.)

Anyway, I think it’s pretty exciting that I’ve crossed into 6-digit territory. I mean, I’m not Althouse or anything, with something like a million hits a month, but I hold my own. And I’m proud of that, dammit.

I meant to post this last night, but oh well. We now have a winning record in Moot Court, and are feverishly preparing (yeah, right) for tomorrow night’s round. Tomorrow night is the last “free” round. Meaning, we can probably lose tomorrow night and yet go on to the next round. After tomorrow night, though, one loss means good-bye, baby.

All in all, so far, it’s been a pretty good experience. I’ve had some fun, and I’ve had some not fun. I’ve had panels I liked and panels I wasn’t sure about and I’ve had at least one judge who just plain baffled me. I’ve learned that I tend to be a little passive when I’m arguing and I need to avoid that. And I talk with my hands too much, but I knew that already.

Basically, it looks like I’ll still be doing this next week, which is in some ways really cool and in other ways (like, I’m going to have to keep leaving my Thursday night seminar early) not so cool. In the end, I think I’ll be glad I did it.
