With a Blink of My Eyes

I can't believe it's been a week since I last had the time to think about this blog - the debate tournament in Chicago made it hard to concentrate and work on so many things, so I limited myself to school and debate. My partner and I did very well: at the end of 6 preliminary rounds, our record was 4-2, and we were 27th out of 116 teams going into double-octofinals (the top 32 teams). We lost in double-octofinals, which means that we lost three rounds overall. Two of those rounds (our fourth round and the double-octofinal round) were losses to the national champions this past summer and the guys who won the tournament; the last one (our sixth round) was to a good team - a legitimate loss overall and we weren't frustrated with the decision.

This tournament is huge in regards to the amount of powerful teams it brings together and it was a huge honor and a very educational experience.

For you all, I have an interview from a novelist that I'll post tomorrow (and I'm sure you'll enjoy), and a few more things I'd like to share.

Hope you all have great weeks!

It's been seven days . . . before I could even blink my eyes.
