Weheheh... it's now a HAPPY post!! Finally, something that was productive and made me not freak out and break down!! Hmmm... last Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, I went with the Debate Varsity to NASH, despite the many trainings I failed to go to... I just left a long bilin with my class committee, and I will grill them tomorrow when I get back to school... I'm kidding... The whole NASH was full of... english being the primary med. in public schools... chuch and state unity... nuclearization... metamorphic TV shows... indigenous sports... junk food... media blackouts... affirmative action... PANTS... Igor and Karuche whatever the last name is... Vandolph... and "you're boring!"
Things I have learned from NASH...
1. When you go to a tourney like NASH... the maximum no. of hours you can sleep is 4 hours, no matter how early you reach the hotel... we either stayed up waiting to greet Bets, or train for the next day.
2. Never, never, EVER attempt to debate on a motion you don't know a lot about... during the 7th round... I didn't understand the words I was saying... what the heck was affirmative action?!
3. Don't try to make Giovanna cook breakfast for you... when she and Nav tried heating oatmeal... it started overflowing because the cup was way too small!! But it was worth the laughs!!
4. When they tell you to come at 8, they really mean 10. What was the whole point of waking up early?! Debaters have no sense of time whatsoever.
5. In playing PANTS in between debates... it's okay to use the weirdest stuff like "dog of Randolph"... just to get 10 points...
6. Debating against an all guys team about Feminization is unfair... because they call women "vulnerable"!! Grrrr...
7. It's really hard to think of a reply speech when you know you literally lost the debate already. But it's fun to make it when you know you won!!
8. That putting indigenous games in the SEA games is like putting a camel in the arctic circle!! (I love that reply!!)
9. If a basketball falls in the mud... don't try to run after it... you will only damage your clothes!! But if you're a guy... I don't think you would really care...
10. You will definitely lose some weight in the process... the only actual meal is DINNER.
Super F-U-N!! Heehee... luckily I didn't turn it down, and it kept the stress off Wicked, but I kept calling to check on them... now it's full blast on Wicked and the Glee Club Concert... one down... two to go... and I love the fact that everyone's in school right now, and I'm NOT!!
