Observations of an idle mooter

I recently represented my college at a national Moot Court Competition, and during lunch, while we waited for the results of the rounds, I watched the scene around me... here is what I can remember, after 15 days:

Pile of Plates defying gravity;

Gaudily dressed girls prancing about in stilettos;

A group of participants giggling loudly;

An obnoxious team showing off;

Teams sucking up to the judges and laughing loudly at their pathetic jokes;

Confusion everywhere;

Students lined up at the icecream table;

The ones who got the icecream hogging the bad icecream;

Everyone concentrating hard on their plates;

People with plates loaded with food scanning the place for seats;

ONE PLATE DOWN, million more to go! An icecream cup falls and a spoon flies tangentially, someone steps on the spoon and sends the pieces flying everywhere, but the pile stands resolutely, determined not to fall. Newton's gotta watch this!
