Weekly news

*sighs* last day of break. I shall miss thee UEA.
Craaaaaaazy week. Actually make that weeks. School has been running me into the ground, though fortunately it's not as bad as last year. Last Tuesday the new debate teacher organized a mock tournament for the novices, which had all of the JV and Varsity judging rounds till about 8:30 that night. In all actuality it was probably more benificial for us than it was for the novices. Turns out that I had some pretty accurate assumptions about one novice as far as speaking style. He'll do really well in the events as long as he can add more of a humoristic elemnt to his speaches. Stacy and I went on a food run (with an order list a page long) in the middle of the tournament, which was all fine and dandy until we tried to drive back. Alisha's truck, which up until that point had been working fine, suddenly decided to leave us with a dead battery; which left stacy and I stranded in the middle of the kohlers parking lot, with no phone or any numbers to call, and no knowledge of the car we were driving beyond basic operation. With the rationale of "this is Alisha's dad's truck. It's a manly truck, meaning that there has to be a fair amount of tools and such, meaning that there has got to be a set of jumpercables somewhere." I searched for such, while stacy, dubious of my reasoning, watched with a grim expression on her face. Not two minutes later I found the cables inderneath the back seat (at which point gloating ensued) and stacy and I set about connecting them. Fortunately the owner of the car in front of us came out and gave us a jump. Once back at the school food was handed out and hungry people were saved. *strikes a pose*
...yeah. Wednesday, due to the late run of the tournament, was not met with the greatest preperation and I nearly died my first two periods. Gov & pol was glossed over rather easily, but drama was a nightmare. We had monoloques due to be preformed and mine was a sad sorry excuse for such. PE on the other hand was actually a welcome relief. It's a rather small class and the teacher, Mrs. Hansen, was burried in homework to be graded and had not slept the night before, so we managed to convince her to let us all have a relaxation period(ie. she puts on some soft music, turns off the lights, and we sleep the entire period), in exchange for us helping her grade the remaining papers.
After school Becka and I went to kohlers and got horchata for us, Mike, and Adam. After we delivered them we hung out fro a while watching them rehearse for Les Mis (which is going to be incredible). After a while I went into the drama room and listened to Cam play piano, tried to figure out a crazy riddle that the insane old janitor gave us, and generally fooled around until becka came back.

gotta go, I'll finish this later
