Work, work, work!


It was after eleven at night when I got home, and eight in the morning when I left home.

The second last day before the BIG moot court competition, and it's really work, work, work. So many things to finish before all our guests start streaming in. Already went to pick up three teams from three different countries this morning... three down, only twenty-two teams from twenty-two countries to go.

Been running around the entire day almost, buying this, carring that, doing errands...and then writing emails, printing, copying, wrapping presents, doing all the finishing touches. But I'm glad I have such wonderful colleagues/classmates working together... otherwise I can't imagine what kind of table throwing and shouting and swearing we'd have because of the pressure and time constraints. And the team members I've met so far are really, really friendly. At least as far as I know.

So... four days of competition about to begin. Four days of wearing suits and tie, chique shoes and shirts. Four days of 'Sir', 'Madam', 'Your Excellency', 'Your Honour'. Four days of being on constant standby ready to answer questions and help people. It's not hard work, but it's tiring.

But it should be a really great experience... after all, not just anyone can walk around freely inside the Peace Palce, meet all these important judges and ambassadors. And there'll be so many new people from different universities all over Europe.

And there's free food too.
