Swearing at the President IV

[aggienaut]

   Today I swore-in my fourth ASUCD President & Vice President. There seems to be severe inflation of farewell speeches. Once upon a time they were held in the Mee Room, where Senate takes place -- a room rated for 50 people. Then it moved to the East Conference Room (rated for 80). Sara Henry held her farewells in MU II (150). Then Gallagher moved it off to the Cabernet Room of the Silo, and now Assagai had his farewell speech in the ARC Ballrooms, rated at 400 people.
   Also it was hellof catered. Y'all should have come for the food.. after all, you paid for it (well in one way or another through either ASUCD fees, state subsidies or federal subsidies, all of you except maybe ashael)


   Yesterday Phi Alpha Delta had a mock trial. I was a defence lawyer. The judge was the president of the Davis mock trial team (and a member of Phi Alpha Delta), John Wheat. The defendant was accused of kidnapping Bailey. I was rather anxious since I've never done mock trial before (and no one got back to me on what part of it exactly I'd be handling until the trial had actually started), but afterwords my cross-examination was one of two actions that Judge Wheat announced as particularly good (despite the fact I only discovered I'd mostly lost my voice when I began the cross-examination! (I've been a wee bit sick))
   Prosecution couldn't seem to get over the fact that Defendant Ms Tyler Perry has a wife (apparently same-sex marriage is legal in the state of Midlands). Prosecutor Sohaib invented some awesome new objections though, such as "Objection: Ridiculous!!" "Objection: Flattery!" and (against me) "Objection: badgering a child!"

   Also yesterday, I bought a dozen doughnuts. Over the course of 24 hours, I ate three, flatmate Vishal ate 1, & flatmate Jason ate eight.
   Now to some people this is self evident, but to others it is an utter mystery. Lest any of my readers accidently be "that roommate:" (1) generally, even if you have somewhat of an agreement to share food, you probably should not eat more than half of a particular thing of your roommate's. (2) Additionally, you probably should not either be the first to open or start eating something of your roommates, and (3) neither shalt thou eateth the last of a given something of your roommate's.


In other news: I've had to wear a suit for one reason or another every day for over two weeks now. d=

Dude, I used to be in mock trial in high school. We never had MUN, I loved it (and rocked it if I may humbly say so). Also we had this program called Peer Court. It's real juvenile defendants who have pled guilty to a crime and high school student attorneys argue their punishment infront of a real judge and a jury made up of high school students. Very fun and a great learning experience.

Peer Court

Yeah I've heard of that. I wish WE had peer court.

Mock trial was fun but they require a year commitment and I'm not gonna be around for another year. I guess I'll just have to go to law school and do real trials to get my kicks.

ZE FOOD!

Y'all should have come for the food and Azfer

Several assortments of cheese, fresh fruit (melon, grapes, blackberries, rasberries, strawberries), gourmet crackers, pasta bundles (that I can't remember the Italian word for), salami, three different types of mondo-brownies, and delcious mondo-cookies.

Haha, I did not pay for your food. I win.

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think we pay for your food here.

[ashael.livejournal.com]

Partially, maybe. Although Israel is self-sufficient when it comes to most food.

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

yeah its more likely that we pay for your bombs I guess. Ashael you owe me for that bomb you're holding!
