wow okay it's been a while since i last posted here!
hi! today was my first day back at uni. i only had one 1.5 hour lecture for Property A. It was a little boring, but i think that's just because it was the first lecture, and i think it will get more interesting with time. The lecturer seemed really nice. Then i went to a workshop that gave tips and tricks for mooting because i'm entering the general moot which starts later this week!!!!
i did the first year moot last year and found it sososo stressful and i told myself i would never do it again. but then my partner from last year was interested in doing it again this year, so i thought "okay lol, why not!"
For anyone who does not know what mooting is: pretty much it's like a fake court hearing. two teams argue opposite sides of a case in front of a judge, and the team that is most persuasive wins. You get the details of a case, and then have about four or five days to do a lot lot lot of research and find cases that could help out your argument, before having to raise your points in front of the judge. then, two nights later, you have to argue the opposite side of the case!!!!! It's stressful because there is so little time to prepare, and also it's not like debating, where you just read your speech, and sit down while the other team rebuts you and argue their points. In moot court the judge interjects to ask you questions, and forces you to stray from your prepared answers!
I'm a little stressed, but right now I'm getting ahead of all of my normal uni work, so that when the problem is released in a few days, i can totally focus on that!
Okay that's all for now :)
