Today was the first day of my first debating tournament! Grace and I are sharing a hotel room, and just sort of winding down from the two first rounds we debated in tonight.
We left school after lunch and drove down to where the tournament was. However, we did stop at Burger King for a mini supper, just because we would be having a late night. I don't care what people say about fast food; Burger King burgers are freaking delicious. But when you add a sundae pie to it, man. I love Burger King.
Once we actually got to the tournament, we were thrown into a room with about 60 chairs and tables, and just left to stew for about two hours. After that time, they publicly announced the junior and senior topics. The topic for juniors (us) was whether or not specific breeds of dogs should be banned. Our first round, we were the affirmation, and declared the definitions. Our opposition mainly rebutted our points, and never really made a point of their own.
For the second round, we were the opposition. Our opponents gave us no definitions, and very unclear explanations. They knifed each other and we grilled them to the point of admitting they had no other points.
Man, we rocked!
