And finally some good news...

I haven't blogged for awhile so I decided to post. So I have gone to 5 debate tournaments since Blacksnake and haven't done all that great :\ Oh well. I was really hoping to qualify for Nationals this year but no luck. But that's ok, I get to go as an observer this year again so I am pretty excited for that! Even though I wasn't quite able to pull through for Nats I did, however, make it to State! The district tournament was this last Saturday and I qualified to state in Lincoln-Douglas Debate with a win-loss record of 4-0. I am really excited but also quite nervous and stressed due to the fact that we have a brand new topic and I have pretty much zero topic knowledge...but I'm going to enjoy every minute of the stress :]


Love,
Theresa

Zach was my PF partner at the BSU tournament. We went 3-2. Pretty good considering I'd only done PF once before and he had only ever debated novice LD.

Aj and I at Shelley. I went 3-2 in LD. But I did break to finals in both speech events: DI and OO.

Me next to a Hogwarts letter [!] at Madison. I went 4-1 in LD and was only 5 speaker points away from breaking to quarter-finals...so disappointing when that happens!

Abby and me at National Qualifiers with the Skyline Mascot :] Abby qualified in PF! I made it to round 5 in both of my events. Not too amazing but at least I was able to compete both days.

And the good news at last! Me with my State Qualifier certificate :] 4-0 as mentioned above.

This is rather random but I just had to add this picture. It's the mask I made in pottery, the only project I have ever gotten a 100% on. How I made that rose I have no idea but I was very happy with how it turned out :]
