So I had my mock trial yesterday. I was responsible for the argument of the motions, the cross-examination and the closing argument. I did them all without notes. Practically no notes at all (I glanced at them once in my cross, to impeach, so that doesn't really count.) And at the end, the jury came back, and I got compliments from all of them. And good compliments, not just "you did ok." I got a compliment from the opposing counsel. I got a compliment from the other instructor. I got complimented by the judge. And, most importantly, I got a huge compliment from my instructor. She said that I did a phenominal job and that I have a natural talent as a litigator, which is apparently a relatively rare trait. Needless to say, I was pretty much on cloud nine. Hell, I have an actual TALENT. I don't think I've ever had a talent before. I've been able to do stuff, sure, but a talent? I was thrilled.

Unfortunatly, that high lasted only one day, as I got my ethics exam back today. Which I bombed. I had almost the lowest grade in my class. **sigh** You know, I wish that I had a helpful talent, like being able to do well in my classes. Or to NOT feel stupid constantly. So woo to being able to bullshit, but damn it, why can't I do well on ONE FRIGGIN' test?

Man...I am never gonna get a real job...
