I'm actually excited about prom, which is like five and a half months away, but who the hell cares? I've got my dress planned out, and I have makeup planned, I need to come up with hair, but oh well. I also need to make my dress. Which will be a pain, but it'll own at that stupid party with a stupid theme... grah.
I'm also very worried for my fish. I know fish don't sound like an amazing pet, but I love mine. My saltwater tank is experiencing a protiene overload and has all this purple crap on the rocks, so I'm trying to fix it. I vacuumed the rocks, put in meds, and cleaned the walls. Which should help. Once the medication treatment is done, I can install the protein skimmer my mom bought me for an early birthday present. Hopefully things will get better...
I'm also finding that I'm not liking a particular guy as much as I used to. Maybe it's because I don't see him as much anymore. He only lives a few miles away, but still. I always go to the city he lives in, but he always comes up with lame excuses to not do anything. So I don't know. He's making me frustrated. And I'm finding less and less to talk about with him when he happens to be online.
I've also recently decided that I will indeed attend the University of North Texas, which I was very pleased with when I went to take a tour on Monday. It was very well put together, and it had a more "university feel" to it than Texas State did. I liked both colleges a lot, but I feel that UNT's art department would be better for me than Texas State's, not to mention that the dorms are substantially larger.
Saturday is the first debate tournament in Blanco. My first one in two years with a new debate partner. I know we'll do very well, but I'm afraid that we won't have the evidence we need. We have plenty of general arguments that we found/created, but I'm still nervous because our entire box is not filled. I also need to do research on the Disad that I made today in class. I was in our room from 2:45 until 5:45 working on evidence and stuff. And I still feel that we don't have enough. I feel that I don't have any evidence for extensions of our 1AC. Which scares me because if we don't get any, it means that I will have to rely on logic, which is all good and well, but it still scares me that I'm not prepared after nine weeks in class.
Today, I taught two people everything in debate in 45 minutes. They learned more from that 45 minutes than thay had in the past nine weeks. How can she (our teacher) stand up there and do nothing? She just returned from some workshop and decided to start teaching them a completly different form of debate after she's gotten halfway done with C-X. This makes no sence whatsoever. The novice team will have to focus on C-X and LD at the same time. I feel so badly for them...
