back

i was so busy this weekend that i didn't have time to write anything here. it was an awesome weekend, though...i was at college mock trial nationals. i saw two really good rounds: Ole Miss versus Northwood, and Chicago versus UMKC. i also worked in the tab room all four rounds, which was really exciting. i love working in the tab rooms. it's fun to talk to all of the professors and coaches who work in it, as well as the ones who randomly drop by to say hi every so often. it's a great way to see people i know, and a great way to meet new people around the mock trial circuit. i also really enjoy the work of the tab room: i like the frantic excitement of when the blue ballots come in, trying to get them added up and paired correctly as expediently as possible. i realise my love of mock trial tab rooms makes me a huge nerd, but i embrace that. :)

there was some more extracurricular fun [read: non-mock-related adventures with mocker friends of mine] this weekend, but i'm too tired to string words together in an amusing manner, so i will be writing about that later. :)

a letter to the MPRE

dear MPRE,

i know you like having power over me. i know you like making me feel stressed-out, confused, angry, and down on myself. but, you can do this no more.

despite the fact that i was no more ethical in march than i was in november, i have passed you. i have passed you with a score that will allow me to practice in any state i want. i have passed you, and i will never have to face you again.

no love,
the persecuted crack smoker
