Mock Trial
Emy's Life & School Life
WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON!!!!
This was my FIRST mock trial case ever and also the FIRST time a mock trial team from our school has won a trial in two years!
Except, winning comes at an expense. Today was also my last ski team race, and that would determine the roster for sections and state (if we made it). My mother literally came up to my room 3 times to yell at me for considering missing ski team for mock trial last night, and therefore I was unable to notify my coach in advance I would be gone. Today I called up my mom during lunch and told her I would be going to mock trial and I told her to call coach, which she did but he didn’t answer. As far as my coach knows, I just skipped ski team which I would NEVER do. I just sent him an email about an hour ago and I’m kinda nervous about his response. I lettered and I earned that letter through a lot of hard work, mentally and physically, and I don’t want it to get taken away just because my mom wouldn’t let me call him. Wish me luck I guess….
Today was also the start of the new semester (we had monday off for some random reason). My AP Calc teacher switches the seating chart mid-semester and at the beginning of semesters and so far I have gotten to sit by the hottest guy in the class all 3 seating charts!! Maybe it’s just because we’re tall so we’re always in back. First he was on my left, then behind me, and now he’s sitting on my right. His best friend sits in front of me and one of my really good friends sits in front of him so hopefully I’ll be talking to my friend and he’ll be talking to his friends and our conversations will just combine! (wow that was probably a really bad run on sentence).
I guess I should write something about mock trial. I didn’t have anything prepared so I wrote my questions in under an hour. My direct examination questions were written by the witness and they weren’t that great, but I rocked my cross examination. I just wish I had had the questions memorized, that would have made it seem a lot more professional. We won 231-205, though, so we did pretty good.
The bus from mock trial left at 4 and got back at 8, everyone was so hungry we had a celebratory McDonald’s run, so I didn’t get home until 9. I actually have a decent amount of homework tonight too. Better get started on that…
