What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins

nerves
Hoo boy. In two and a half hours I enter the lion's den, otherwise known as the school courtroom, to argue before "The Supreme Court of the United States" (really just eight professors) for the Moot Court Competition. I've been honing my arguments for two days, and last night I dreamed about the Constitution. It was chasing me, and I couldn't shake it. As soon as I'm done I have to construct arguments for the opposing side, to be given tomorrow. 12 minutes of pure hell. Wish me luck!
