A month before, my law lecturer told us (my classmates and I) that its easy, you don't have to do extra research, just memorise the script that Bond University will send 2 weeks before the competition. So I was like, "Oh okay. Cool. I'll give it a try then..."
Sadly, it turns out that Bond University already sent the materials about 3 weeks before the competition, and my lecturer send it in to me only about less than a week before me competition. My team members and I got really discouraged. Plus, it wasn't even a script. It was a case and we had to do our own research and what not. We felt like we were conned by our lecturer.

My team and I got our points together on the night of the competition, and I only slept for an hour on that day, because I was too nervous and I had to memorise my points.
I had to say, my team did pretty good. My legs and hands were shaking, like REALLY shaking that even my friend could see how obvious it was. I did okay, I memorised my points, and managed to response to most of the questions asked by the judge. I was really nervous, but thank God the judge was really friendly. At the end, the judge commented that I had a 'calm demeanour', and I could only laugh because I know that I was shaking badly. I guess she didn't notice that? Lol I don't know.
After all the obstacles, the moment my team and I walked out of the 'courtroom', we were laughing and all because we're just too happy and relieved that it's all over! It did turn out to be a fun experience. I'm glad I was given the opportunity to join this competition. Even though we didn't win, it was still fun. So yeah, it was worth not getting enough sleep and waking up at 5am on Friday till Sunday.
뿅!
