We had our National Championships for debate this weekend and they went alright. On average, the topics were atrocious. Fortunately, we were on the right side for some of them. For example, the topic for round 6 was "This house believes that all development aid should be targeted for women" or something similar. Baker and I dominated that round. Another ego boost was that the team from Middletemple (top seed going into out rounds and otherwise amazing) thought we did better than the judge gave us credit for and assumed that we would break. Baker and I were the 23rd seed and Kelly and Sean were the 24th seed. We both dropped in the octofinal round but I am extremely proud of our team, as a whole. We had a fabulous year. Winning three tournaments and having two teams break at nationals. Along with Kelly and Rebbecca breaking at Oxford. I am looking forward to next year because I have a feeling that it is only going to get better for us.
