So this weekends concludes my time on the national circuit of debate. whoa depressing. I dunno, Berkeley was supposed to be my tournament, everything was set up right. It's the right kind of judging pool, and pretty easy competition for the large most part. yeah I purposely wrote large most, not an accident, totally meant to over emphasize... So anyway, yeah, basically I did not do nearly as well as I should have at pretty much any of the tournaments I went to this year. Everything was a strugg. I'm pretty sure the only conclusion can be that I suck but w/e. The worst part is definitely that I wasted sooo much of my life trying to be somewhat successful at this activity... wow epic fail. struggs mansion with no hopes of redemption. so toc is completely out of the question. I'll do my best to make nats though. At least that way I can pull the qualling 4 times to nats, while not seeming like all that much of an accomplishment b/c I go in a pretty easy category, I'd still be one of about a dozen kids a year to do that.

on a lighter note, our coach got stuck in the wet mud for a bit and another coach had to use his Minnesota skills to get us out. that was a great team bonding experience pushing the car out...

I should probably go to sleep...
