ok so ive decided to sum up the experiences here.
firday: 1/23
ok, so first. Thankz mom. dropping off my formal attire saved my ass as i wouldve had to change into em again after jammin em into my gym locker. we left prob around 12:45. good planning on mikes part.
car ride: me, gillian, alex, cara. cara in front. generally fun. gillian believed i left her notebook at school (lol)
later that day…
we arrive and heres the fun part. its like 2pm! so the first round doesn’t start till 5! yay 3 hrs. so yeah, we wait and amuse ourselves. we hang, i played hearts (a game we need to finsh :$) and chilled. round 1 EVENTUALLY gets there and so we go. and we sucked. not only was i uncomfortable with the arguments, but our opponents were extremely good. (i belive they qualified for octafinals). in between we got on the topic of worst pick-up lines. note to self: will can b funny as hell. this became the joke for the rest of the nite. round 2 went better, and we realized that con was the stronger of our 2 sides. me, liking our arguemtns better, found it 2 be easier. this round started at 9ish.
so by 10-10:30 we are at the restaurant. and tbh we’re all pumped yet tired as hell. we found out that we 3(5 if u count everyone around us) had influence on whatever the rest of the table talked about. keep in mind there are 20 kids here. its good t feel in better.
saturday:
home at 12:50. in bed 3 min later and tired as hell. asleeep barely after 1.
wake 5 and 1/2 hours later. damn im tired. yay adrenaline. shower+gt redy. at school by 7:35.
car ride: me, gillian, alex, cara. cara in front arrive at parking garage. alex decides to get out of car, so gillian locks door. alex then jumps in ym side and crushes us both. after a 1 minute brawl, it ends.
at clombia by 9ish. 1st round at 10. didnt start till like 1-:15 but w/e. this wait is a lil bit of a blur as im tired as hell still.
oh, i remember, cara tells me as i didnt dress up completely (tie in pocket, etc, etc) that i look like “a business man who went to a bar last night, got wasted, and ended up with a hooker.”
1st round went ok. wasnt tht good. i realise i should rewrite my arguments.
now ehres where it gets fun. alex and my thoughts : “hey lets wait for gillian and cara”
their thoughts” lets go back to the main building (lerner hall)”
so after realising they’re done with the round, we call em to ask where they are. aparently cara doesn’t understand that the building we’re in is called “the school” and thinks lerner is actually there. aftrer bout 10 min of lex trying to convince cara that there is only 1 elevator at “the school”, we realise they’re at learner.
1 cold walk back later…
we met up, whoo. cara u fail at directions. i rewrite most of my arguments and we have fun. this is where the “bases of a relationship” come into play. 1st-high five 2nd- hand shake 3rd- arm in arm. 4th-hug. furthermore, we need to take a debate picture. we complained a little, then gave in.
i convijnce georgia that alex and gillian were dating
hahahahahahah WIN. freshman will believe anything.
4th round at 2. we annihilated them. alex was outstanding in this round and accomplsihed 2 things:
1. used the phrase “epically failed” in his speech. (we all just sorta stared at him thinking “did he really jsut say tht?”)
2. our opponents clearly do not care about the enviornment or the starving children.
back to lerner. yay they waited for us this time
. so yeah i finish re-writing and we just hang out for a lot and goof off. o but 1 thing guys, we need a picture of us outside. cuz it looks better. we complain more, but they have their way. it was cold but fun. Ben contributed to littering and the 12% food risk with his parfait.
whoo final round. our opponents were nice, but our judge was out of it. she thought our opponents siad crap instead of crash. it went ok…
after: we all meet up in the cafeteria and our nopponents from round were hanging with us. they were flirting with me and alex. was funny. someone welse who i wotn name for their dignity was hitting on them. meanwhile, the rest of our team were playing a really loud and stupid game and gillian was taking funny pictures. one of which she wont put on facebook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gahh!
we go back, we laugh, we have fun. we have a 5 way on the bases of a relationship. (this was the basis for MANY MANY jokes.)
out to a run down pizza place. relaxing. most just wanted to go home. funny pics.
we go back to lerner to elt those who need to use a bathroom do it so we can go. we take a last group photo of us 4 (me, cara, alex, gillian) as we spent the majority of the weekend together.
car ride home: we have ben refesh page every 3 min to se who got into finals. as a result:” onlky simon and will did. only 1 tem form wilton.
im asleep by like 11. content. very fun.
sunday:
6:am will and simon are outside the school to go debate. (tom also goes to watch) rest of us are sound asleep.
they got knocked out first round by a 2-1 vote against em. DAMN U REGIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
questions? comments? concerns (which u probably have)? ask away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
