We had the good teamline, not the other team. Just like with 'Status Quo'.

Ah, debating, how I loathe thee. So, remember how I quit debating in a rather embarassing matter in the middle of my speech? Yeah, I won't be forgetting that anytime soon. I really just couldn't stand debating then. I was terrible at thinking on my feet, I couldn't organise my arguements, or my rebuttal, in my head and it just wasn't fun. So I quit. And no one was very happy about it at the time, but we all moved past it and earlier this year when Quack begged me to join the team in order to, you know, have a team I agreed. I though Hey, I've matured, I've moved past my disagreements with the sport of debating, I can totally do this. Boy was I wrong.

We had our first debate of the season (due to the annoyingness of my zone and certain schools in it, it was the round 4 debate) and I was set to be second speaker. Second was my position earlier and I thought I would be able to do it. Forty-five minutes into a one hour prep I had a slight freakout and srcewed it all up. We all had to switch positions, meaning unfamiliar speeches. eah, so we lost. Also their third speaker was a bitch. Sorry we're not familiar with a supermarket two hours away.

If any of my team happen to be reading this, I genuinely am sorry and will take any scorn Maddison offers for the next week. I feel terrible. Though I am confident that Mal did a better job than I felt capable of.

Toongen, xo.
