Professionalism has destroyed the Olympic ideals

Mary's won and took all the best speakers (Jess. Me: "What about second and third??" Anne and Johanna. T_T). It was sad. BUT! On the upside, Johanna and Jess came up to our table rather ominously afterward, glared at me a bit, then declared my speech unrebuttable. This would be true, judging from the fact that the only comments on my speech were ( Read more... )

Debating! I just realised that I spent the last many years of my life getting up to grade five in Speech and Drama. So I'm going to do something with it and take up debating.

You totally should because debating kicks arse. It will be something to do with your non-swimming time...endless research :P

Debating is wonderful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Water is there to be drunken I always feel. Although I've stopped providing water because of this one incident where I left the school's water jug on the train. Twice. I blame Zsofi wholeheartedly.

Aysser has lj? Oh, small world.

Who was the adjudicator??

It is. I have no idea why I do it most of the time but then right after the debate I remember why. Never the rest of the time, right now I'm drawing a mental blank but I was definitely glad I debated at the end.

Yes, I always drink my water (I feel vaguely guilty if I don't), but four glasses and refilling in the middle of a speech is slightly excessive I think.

Yes, she does. Yes, it is. Always weird finding someone you vaguely know has an LJ.

I can't remember the name :( possibly because I also never quite figured out who she was (in terms of credentials).

I am a TAG now? Aysser's username is wacky_iraqi. We had group performance today, went well.

And apparently we won by quite a bit... That suprised me, you had a really strong case. Maybe you didn't push it enough....

David Beckham shall firever be an injoke.

You have been a tag practically ever since the conception of tags. :P Yes, I know, that is how I linked her, you blonde. Yay for good group performance!

No it's cos we're crap at rebuttal. Negating's job is to kill the other case, not build their own. I want to see the points!!

And David Beckham's party.
