Moot univs finished today. Whatte gruelling two weeks! Ups, downs, highs, lows. It's been one roller coaster ride. Memo was a huge fiasco, oral rounds were horrible. But it doesn't seem to matter anymore. It's over and that's what counts. I can breathe again, wheeeeeee! :) Like Mr. D said, what we take from these crappy rounds is not the worst bits but the best ones - the four of us working together, hysterical nights spent in the acad fretting over a seemingly impossible argument, Red Bulls and what not.
Were these rounds as good as we expected them to be or did they seem proportionate to the effort we put in? No. Without a shadow of a doubt. But did we learn from these rounds? Immense amounts. Would I do it again? Hell yes! I've been told I'm crazy but I've never been in love with mooting more. I got toasted by both benches but for the 30 odd minutes that I was up there, arguing, citing authority, answering questions that were shot at me like bullets, nothing else mattered. It reiterated my belief in the fact that my decision to come to Law School was the best decision ever. I don't want the ranks to release now because I know I'm probably going to be some inconsequential number but it's okay. I gave my best, I would do it again. Now I know why only one mooter can understand another. To the rest of the world, it's a process we subject ourselves to. To us, it's those 15 minutes of absolute thrill that nothing else in the world can match.
To each his own. :)
