So I tried out for trial team at school.... Part 3

So I tried out for trial team at school....

So after countless attempts to get 14 minutes of monologue down I figured this was going to fail and I would just go in having memorized the gist and pray it worked. So I dawned my three-piece suite and moseyed on down to the law school. Went to the table where they were taking names and said HELLO- MY NAME IS NUMBER XXX. Giant smile on my face... ready to give it my best.  I met my competitor and she looks something like this:

I don't like mean people when I'm trying to be nice. So I decided I would go for her throat. That round worked out well for me, but somehow during that whole trial I kept thinking to myself... this is so not amusing. I'm missing Gossip Girl. Did I also mention it WASN'T in the cool school courtroom? I was so not pleased. 

So I tried out for trial team at school....

So two days later I had my time to play prosecutor. I was going to go in there and make this woman feel sorry she EVER murdered her husband... turns out- I suck at prosecution. After working so hard to understand the defense's side I just felt bad for the woman. I really thought her daughter did it but I couldn't say that.  Well after not liking the defenses position. After sucking at prosecution I was about over all this trial team stuff. Well mental me... adrenaline must win me? She was gung-ho. 

So I sat around on my bed friday morning- the day results for round 2 (out of 3) would be announced... and just talked to myself. I had been running ragged without much sleep. My school work was taking the L and I was just snappy. So mental me beat adrenaline me out and we decided we'd had enough of this tournament. Only this tournament is binding and they gave us an out before week 1. So I thought to myself ok self- you probably won't make it but should you... let's flail around like a fish outta water.

Then it was like God heard me being a bitch again. We got an email that gave us the opportunity to drop out before round 2 without penalty. So I sat there- still staring at my toes and said well self make sure you want to quit before you send this email. In fact self you should sleep on this... wake up at 4 and the answer will be revealed before the 5pm deadline. Guess who woke up at 6:37pm? Guess who was stuck in the second round?
