What a wonderful, amazing, marathon of a day. :]
Woke up at 6... Ruby picked me up at like 6:55... (20 mins before I was expecting her!)
went and got Lidia...
went and got Ben & Breanna...
...went and got Rachel...
Ruby's car only holds 5 people... generally...
there was 4 of us in the back... it's a good thing I like all my friends or I'd of been very, very, uncomfortable...
we arrived at Safeway to get some index cards... and some Starbucks of course
Vanilla Bean, yummm!
btw - drinking cold things in the morning is
not a good idea...
but nevertheless, so tasty!
We got to the courthouse at around... 7:50?
...and had to stand out in the cold until 8:00 when they finally let us in!
Found out defense was going first... (me!)
We were up against Florin... I think we killed them, to be honest!
I got all of my testimony right :] and I didn't giggle!
Rachel was killing people with insane objections... the judge called her a Bulldog XD
intense!Ruby "knocked the judge's socks off"
She did amazing... her closing was just like
BAM!Yaaay, good job, totally rocked that!
Then we went out to eat at this
amazing little resturant called Hamburger Patty's
I know, weird name, but oh my God the food was sooo amazing...
I had a burger smothered in Teriyaki... it came with a knife in it o,o
!!!
Mr. Manch's brother owns the resturant, so we ate a like... $80-100 meal for $50...
and
then Mr. Manch just paid for it...
Free amazing food... is the best thing in the world...
Manch is so awesome!
Anyway, we got back to the courthouse around 12:35
...we got lost on the way back... <.> ...
Prosecution's turn!
Since our other attorney for that side couldn't make it, Amanda, our beast attorney had to do the case all by herself...
which, she kind of did, anyway, considering she wrote the whole thing and the other attorney was basically just reading crap off
Think we did better without the other girl!
Well, we were up against El Camino... and we got the judge from hell
Sure, he was great for educational purposes...
...if you wanted to sit there and listen to him for like 4 hours
...as the jury
...
Well, we destroyed El Camino
Amanda got like... at least 50% of their testimoney striken from the record...
and the other 50% they had was just horrid, anyway
along with their opening and closing statements...?
Their defandant freakin' fell asleep!
and their Pre-Trial Attorney...
They weren't dressed right... didn't adress the court right... I mean
wowI didn't know there was a school out there that we would look amazing against XD
So anyway, Mock Trial didn't end until about 3:45...
I had to be at home at 4 PM...?
WHAT?!
Mock Trial was supposed to end at about 2:30...
okay...
It takes about 20 mins to get back home from downtown
Nevermind the fact that we had to drop Ben off at his dad's...
I didn't get home 'til about 4:30...
...and I found nobody at my house ready to pratice
save my BFF cello, Stephen
so that was sort of, um, useless?
We went to the school around 5, because the rest of the group showed up there.
Praticed for maybe 30 mins XD people were whining it was too cold...
I like them otherwise I would have made them stay outside...
We had timing problems, and for some reason it was really hard to hear me...
but! we pulled it off...
I think the show was a success, but there was less people there than at an orchestra concert...
My friend James gave me a giant plate of spaghetti and some apple pie...
being friends with people in the cooking academy is
always a good idea!
Finally got home at about 8 PM...
14 hour day... wooow...
so long, but it was really rewarding and I felt pretty good about it all...
now it's 7 AM the next day!
...and I gotta do some homework and head off to Santa Cruz :]!!
GO SLUUGS!
& buy Marron Glace, please?
