O.o

In retrospect I realize that I began fantastically during my oral argument, only to get overexcited and lose the steam. The owl of Minerva has flown and left a little present on my hat.

It's a good sign when a judge says - can you tell me more about that concept? YES! I will serve you this idea that you seem intrigued with. Man that was awesome. Good sign also when the judges all say nothing and nod. Lastly, good sign when they repeat your maxim to the opposing counsel because it's the point that needs to be made. Now that I think about it, I did good at first. BAH I was so close but the end of my argument was relatively weak... I dunno. Bah.

W00T for Moot

Do you ever wonder what happens to your baby teeth when the tooth fairy absconds with them? Check this out. If that doesn't say cute then iunno.

So basically since december I've been applying for things to do beside study. I completed the Moot Court qualifying rounds this afternoon. whew. That was a surprisingly intense weeks of writing / practicing. The judges were all super nice and encouraging - I can only imagine what it's like to sit through multiple rounds of shaking, stuttering, smiley-fearful 1Ls who are all trying to look as cool as possible while talking for 30 minutes. I'm pretty sure I could not be a politician - at least, not one that gave press conferences.

Too Cute to Eat

Why YES I enjoy cake. But not these cakes. Too. Cute. Baby seals, unicorns, pandas, legos, even a silhouette of young love at its most teary?
