Ladies and gentlemen, I proffer no apologies for the extended absence from the web. I know you all missed me. But I have been extremely busy, getting ready for the moot, practising stressing, and then WINNING, KICKING ASS, DESTROYING the competition, separating the MEN from the BOYS.
For those of you who missed the subtle sub text there, we won the moot on Saturday. Yes, I am a National Mooting Champion. The is both good and bad, because it means now I get to spend the next two months preparing for the international rounds in the Hague, where we need to win to uphold the universities honour, and bring back the trophy.
Anyway, it was an exhausting weekend, all made better by the win. For one thing, we had to BYO a lectern, which we stole form uni (in a very subtle heist, it's not easy to get those things out) which we were then obliged to share with everyone else. Then at the end, the winner was announced, and I, very loudly, said "YESSSSS!", drawing stares from the rest of my (less enthusiastic) team, who were just clapping politely, choosing to show their excitement in more subtle ways. Either way, it was satisfying.
And now I'm back to my normal life. We have been given two weeks off form the moot, which I plan on spending studying for upcoming exams, before we have to go back to mad practice sessions. I wonder how long it will be until the joy wears off, and I am back to complaining and wishing we had never won? Hmm. We shall see...
In other news, happy first day of spring everyone, and could someone please text Mother Nature and let her know she has her wires crossed because it's still freezing here in Bermondsey?
