Debate Tournament 2012

Well, my last middle school debate was actually one of the most fun for me. I really enjoyed it. Megan and I did pretty great for the circumtances we were in. We were more prepared than ever this time, and extremely determined to get first place. Unfortunately we didn't get first, but we still did excellent. Megan and I got 6th place. I feel that we would have gotten higher if it weren't for the biased judge in round three and the bye we got in round one. The opposing side's partner showed up extra late, so the judge counted it as a forfiet. That was counted as a win for us, but it also meant that the points we got in round 2 and 3 would be averaged up to get the number of points we'd get in the first round. My partner and I did supercalifragilisticexpialadocious in rounds 2 and 3. I felt that we should've won both, but we only won the second. That's okay for me though, because in the third round we went against the top team, and the judge was biased. Megan and I are most definitely going to try for first when we are in highschool next year, so to those other schools' teams, THIS IS NOT OVER. Congrats to all the Spotsy kids that participated in the tournament!

Preparing For Saturday

Saturday is the Great Debate! It's FINALLY gonna be held at my school this year. I'm really excited but I'm super duper nervous D: Megan and I are really hoping to get first this time. Right now I'm fixing up the speech and coming up with some attacks on the opposing side. The topic is: The United States has a moral obligation to help other nations that are in crisis. I was picked to be on the pro side, so I'm agreeing with the resolution. Yesterday I got a really nice dress to wear to the debate because this will be my last one. I'm praying that Megan and I get first! If we do and someone records the final round, I'll be sure to post it!

Results

The tounament went pretty well, Megan and I won 2 out of three rounds. It really sucks though, because we only lost the round by ONE point! Oh well, I'm happy with 6th place :) The first team was easy, the second team was..... well...... rude.... and the third team was pretty good. It was all really fun, congrats to everyone!

DEBATE TOURNAMENT

OMG I HAVE A DEBATE TOURNAMENT TOMORROW!!! Sooooo siked! IM READY! Wish me and Megan luck :)

Nervous!!!

Debate tournament Saturday! I'm soooo nervous. Hopefully I got this.... I think I do tho. Got my speech, attacks, questions, everything I need. Practice after school tomorrow!

Homework: Ewww.

Literally all I did today when I got home from school was homework. I shouldn't have to spend 4 hours on notes for science... Especially when I'm not completely prepared for a debate tournament that's on Saturday. Oh, I also have to clean my room by Saturday. I didn't have time to clean or work on debate, also because of algebra homework. Math is stupid.
