I love Halloween. I'm not going to any events because I hate the people that are throwing the events, but I sure do love Halloween.

Earlier I thought of something interesting to share--it was so interesting that I was completely captivated by myself--I said to myself: RP, tell me more about this idea you are having. But now I have totally forgotten it. I hate it when people say--if it was important, I'll remember it because that is bullshit. It's important I turn my journal in on time, but I have forgotten over 5 times to do so.

I found my daily planner--it was in the lectern in the court room--never would have thought to look there, but when I got up to question my witness, I looked down, and there it was.

My mock trial went PDG as Renee says: pretty darn good. Here are the comments my prof emailed us that pertain to me:
-Don't fold if you draw an objection-stand and fight.(whatever--the question I asked that was sustained for being leading was a crap question anyway--I was able to get the same answer out of another question)
-Good job refreshing Terry Cohen's recollection. Perfectly done. (You know it--perfectly done. The judge said I did a good job of not letting the witness get away from me--I was pretty cut throat--the jury actually was snickering, and when I sat down, I mouthed "I'm sorry" to the poor girl because she was visibly shaken.)
-Good volume and outrage in Plaintiff's Closing. (No surprise that I had good volume, and not too surprising about the outrage. My prof said that my closing was emotionally effective--she said she wanted to go out and punch cigarettes after hearing my close, but the judge said there were things the opposing counsel should have objected to in it--outside facts and the like. I was kind of worried I wasn't allowed to put those things in my closing, but I went for it anyway, and the defense did not object).

My friends both did excellent jobs at being witnesses--and if they read this: Thank You SO much!!
