deploying my weapons

I decided I was sick of my bad attitude towards moot court. As, I'm sure, a good percentage of you were. My bad attitude prevented me from preparing effectively for oral arguments tonight and I was displeased with myself.

So I employed the anti-slacker nuclear weapon, a lethal bad attitude killer: I invited my parents to oral arguments.

I may be willing to make a fool of myself in front of my moot court professor, my TAs, and the judges, but even though I am past thirty years old, I'm still not willing to let my parents see me do it.

Wish me luck. Even with the nuclear weapon, I think I'll need it.

Good luck with your oral arguments. You've got to let us know the results....what your professor thought along with the TAs and other judges, but most importantly, what your parents thought.
My thoughts are that you'll do very well. In any case...Good luck!
