Persuasion

I spent some time today filling out college applications for my early action schools. Every school has an "office of undergraduate/college admissions", but I think that the prestigious universities having acceptance rates that are sinking into the sub-10% range should rename this department, "the office of undergraduate/college rejections". After all, that is their main function, and it would probably help prune dead wood from the applicant pool.

For the last hour I read over the testimony for our first practice trial for Mock Trial team. It's going to be so much fun. I can't wait to harass some witnesses during cross-examination, although I'm not sure I will ever live up to Ian Rocker's legendary performance in that capacity, forcing multiple witnesses to cry, contradict themselves, and break down on the stand. On the other hand, I have high hopes for debate, in which I replace him as Jonathan's partner. We had better trample the entire state all the way to another first place finish in April. Leeor, beware...
