Debate

October 6th, 2007 (08:45 pm)

I'm really disappointed in myself. Today was the first debate of the season and I won 1 out of 4. I was the top speaker in the last one, and I screw myself up really badly in the first to. So badly, infact, that I drew a stick figure of me and my partners debate smiley commiting suicide. It was that horrible. The last two, however, weren't as bad. They were actually really fun! :] Ha, well yeah. I got used to it after a while (1AC, 1NC, 2AC, 2NC, 1NR, 1AR, 2NR, 2AR.)

A little explaination why the Affermative (!AC, 2AC, etc.) has a hard time with rebuttals and such. The above ACs-RCs are in order, so the 2NC, and the 1NR is called the negitive block, meaning, they use this time to say whatever they want about how our plan is going to kill everyone and such. Now, the 2NC is 8 minutes, and the 1NR is 5 minutes, giving the neg a total of 13 minutes to combat the aff with stuff. Now, the 1AR is diffcult because it's only 5 minutes to touch all the arguements, and explain them briefly. You have to hit them all to get it going. 

I'm so glad im always the second speaker ~<3.

*sigh* but seriously, I know I could've done better (Except against that Northside scum. Bastards! >< THEY SENT JUNIORS AFTER A FRESHMAN LIKE ME! How cruel.)

Well, yeah

That was basically my entire day (from 7am to 7:30 pm) in three lonesome paragraphs. Oh, and I lost a crapload of speaker points because I was cursing the entire first round :D. I'm so stupid. 

On a topic that's not about my debate experiance,

One of the JR  debators went Maverick! Meaning he did the debate all by himself, (its customary to have a partner)

When he got his award, I kept telling him that that was so sexy (because it was :D)

*End Log 2*
