sigh.

i heard back about moot court this morning. unsurprisingly, i didn't make it.

i have to hand it to the coach, though. he dealt with it a lot better than the trial team coach did after tryouts. i got a personal e-mail from the coach telling me that i didn't make it, but that i could meet and talk to him at some point to discuss what i can do better. that was respectful and classy.

this is in contrast to what happened after trial team tryouts back in september. the coach e-mailed all the kids that either made it or got a second-round tryout. instead of sending an e-mail that same day to the people who outright didn't make the team, he waited and sent no notice for another two days. instead of finding out my status straight from the coach, i found it out through the rumour mill, after overhearing some other people who tried out discussing an e-mail that had come out.

i'm disappointed i didn't make it, but i'm glad i at least tried. i'm also glad i know my status so i can finalize my class plans for next semester. i need to decide: am i dropping two of my one-credit classes, or am i dropping advanced legal writing? i have a couple of days to make that decision...we'll see.
