Win In Rome!
Yes, i am in Rome . . . Georgia. For speech and debate nationals right now. I arrived here late Wednesday night and have been competing/doing homework/taking pictures/playing wiffle ball nonstop since my arrival. And sleeping a bit. And eating too much. Tis the story of this tournament.
Competition wise, I'm doing all right, though I definitely feel as though I'm out of my league. That's okay, though. It's my first year doing forensics, so I'm learning and I'll be better next year. And it's definitely being a lot of fun playing with the Suffolk kids.
Speaking of Suffolk kids, I can be such a tease. I thought guys here would be safe because I'm competing, and because I'm bloated, and because I'm stressed out, but alas, no! Joe's a douche who has now RANDOMLY hugged me twice. I don't really understand why at all, and it's not often that I can be confused. Ted I think has Gober-syndrome (named after dear R. Gober, whose story will probably never be told here unless I run into him again this summer), in that I think I'm one of the only girls he knows that can keep up/defeat him intellectually and verbally. So, dare I say it, he might just be developing whatever the Ted-version of a crush is. He has a girlfriend who he's dated for a long time. So hopefully not. Partically because it's not reciprocated; I just enjoy the attention and can be somewhat of a bitch in that way. But I'm enjoying the attention, the teasing, the competition, even the hug.
Berry State is BEAUTIFUL. It makes me wonder why I'm not at a Southern campus school. It tempts me to transfer to a Southern campus school. I can't put into words how beautifully the campus is. It'll have to be shown in pictures eventually. I love the warm weather, the kindness, the greenery, the fresh air, the natrure, the open sky. It truly makes me hate Boston. I don't want to go back, even for the 5-7 days I have left.
But for now, I must go frantically do homework. I'll put pictures up eventually. And I'll probably do a longer journal entry eventually when I have more time. But there is simply too much to do at this moment in time. So now off to do homework.
