And just like that, my moot court experience is over. I had a great time and I never, ever want to do it again. My relationship with public speaking is complicated. I think I'm pretty good at it, and I've done a lot of it, but I always have terrible nerves beforehand and terrible self-doubt afterward.
As for the competition, my teammates and I finished in the middle of the pack (we made the cut from twenty-five teams to sixteen, then got knocked out in the cut from sixteen teams to eight). In a sense, that was the best case scenario. It was a two-day competition, with the first two rounds on day one. Since we were knocked out in the second round, we had all of day two to explore Washington. It was an excellent consolation prize.
