VICTORY

I feel as if I never left.

WELL ladies and gentlemen - today was the 1st Year Moot. Let me just say that with my timer in hand, the same timer that has been with me since round one in Mercedes High School in the Fall of 1997, I felt right at home. I cannot TELL you how many rounds that timer has been through. Policy, LD, extemp, whatever man - you name it I've been there w/ that timer. Jay cut the speaker lines and today, on March 25, 2006, that timer went to it's first Appellate Advocacy Round.

I have been working hard on this for two weeks, and this morning I was ready. I knocked it out of the park. :-) After the round was over, my judges said I was the best performance they had seen out of a first year EVER!! Then, later that afternoon, I went off brief on the WRONG issue and STILL was told I was the best in the room and MUST be on the Moot Traveling team.

I am too exhuasted to finish this. But now this is ALL over I will be well rested and can write more this week :-).
