Moot Court Countdown: End of the Free Ride
And that’s it for the mandatory portion of this extracurricular activity. We finished with a winning record and (should) advance to the next round–SUDDEN DEATH.
Thankfully, we get a week off, so that should give me some time to get healthy. Because there’s nothing like a judge telling you, “Um, when you ask if a judge wants you to finish that question since your time’s up? Try not to look so disappointed when he says yes. I hope that was the Sudafed reacting.” Yes, your Honor, yes it was.
Because this week (and last, to an extent) have been a confluence of events that really should never happen all at once, I am completely and totally zonked. I have a big thing due tomorrow, and I’ve done what I can with it, so hopefully my best is good enough. I have a small thing due tomorrow, also, and that’s just going to have to get done sometime tomorrow morning. And then I have meetings and a big thing on Sunday. But see, the thing is, once Sunday is gone, things open WAY up. And let me tell you, I NEED IT. Big time. Because now? I feel like I should do some hardcore prep so I can go as far as possible in this thing. I hope my partner feels the same way.

Sounds like you have been having a rough week!
I was sick for my one and only moot court for 1L and took WAY too much ‘non-drowsy’ meds before. I still use that as my excuse for the semi-panic attack/anxiety attack I had during my ‘grilling’! But that is why I am doing law review and mediation competitions this year!
Good luck!!!
Hope you are feeling better really soon - seems like you’ve had this for too many days.
Good luck with this thing, that thing, and the other thing.
Also, I love you for using the word confluence in a blog posting. Just saying…

Moot Court Countdown: A Light at the End of the Tunnel
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.
