A Win....A Victory...

On Tuesday the speech team traveled to Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, Minnesota. We left at 7AM and came home around 1AM, but it was a great trip!! When we got there we attended an informational session on Parliamentary Debate. This was the second time I had sat through this session, but it was helpful and fun. In the afternoon we paired up into teams and competed in the actual event of Parliamentary Debate. My partner, Amanda, and I had a great time competing. We always seem to enjoy events more when we are together. At the end of the three rounds, we were told who was going to the Bronze round and who had already made it to the Gold Round. We were already placed in the Gold Round because we had a 3-0 record! UNDEFEATED!! After we sat and had dinner, we went and watched another one of our team members round. They ended up losing their round, but Amanda and I were now in the final round of the debate tournament. At the awards ceremony, we found out that we had won the round to give us the Gold Award and we also went 6-0. All judges voted for us! It was a VERY long day, but it was also a great experience and tons of fun!!

Other than that excitement it's been a pretty dull Hobo Days. Tonight the drumline is performing in Volga for the Best Choice (it's a real estate something or other?) we perform there every year. Tomorrow we go to Volga at 8AM and then Saturday is the big game! It should be tons of fun!! We're excited!

I better get some homework, or something done.

Talk soon.
