My life is being debated by invade... er, I mean invaded by debate!
Hey ya'll,
Sorry I haven't been on in, like, FOREVER, but there hasn't really been a lot to blog about. Just school, school, and more school. However, I have found something worth blogging about... DEBATE!
I'm REALLY exited about it. I'm part of the local Speech and Debate club (I can't remember the name... some hard-to-pronounce word in the bible), and I'm doing Team Policy. What's that, you ask? Well, I'll tell you. Team Policy is where a team of two (never more, never less) debate a curent policy in the U.S government (e.g. Chinese counterweight, Microloans, Free Trade, things like that) that relates to the years resolotion (This year the resolotion is this: Resolved: That the United States Federal Goverment should singificantly change it's policy toward India). You are ether Affermitive or Negative. If you are Affermitive, your job is to uphold the resolotion, show just what needs to be changed, and how you plan on changing it. If you are Negative, your job would be defending the Statis Quo and fighting the Affermitive teams plan. Note that there is no one stratigy for Affermitive teams. So long as what they say line up with the resolotion, they can say whatever they want. Negatives beware.
How did we get here again? Oh, right! I'm IN debate. Duh! (lol) And my first real debate is this coming friday! That's the bottom line, folks. I'm going to my first debate soon, and I wanted ya'll to know (plus I needed to get on, or else you guys will start wondering if I moved to the moon or somethin').
A lot of things in my mind, bundled into a few posts...okay, maybe not just a few.OK, I admit it, there will be a lot of posts. I hope despite the "tangled talking," you will enjoy my blog.
