ASU

Just got Back from Arizona for a debate tournament. It was incredibly fun, and tiring, and WARM!!! It was about 75 the entire time we were there, and then I come home to find 6 inches of snow on the ground and a temp of 35 *shudders*
Me, Melia (I managed to spell it right addison!), jessie, mindy, blake, brian, and clark all went. We flew out Thursday morning, meaning that I spent nearly all wednesday night finishing homework for my respective classes (while simultaneously chatting with katie). After landing we waited for an hour for the hotel shuttle to arrive.
We settled in, then wandered around by the campus for a while, at which point I learned that Melia and Jessie are perhaps the worst shopping influences in the entire world. Needless to say I came out of Urban Outfitters with a significantly lighter wallet. Friday everyone except for me was scheduled to debate, so I wandered around campus and watched interp rounds until all the rounds were over for the day. Friday was also when the story of the flying pants came to pass (which Clark will be all to willing to relate, I'm sure) and Melia and I decided that it wasn't safe to go swimming with the boys anymore.
Saturday I spent the entire morning debating, and ended up being the only one still competing after 11. I broke to Quarter finals in Oratory, after which I returned to the hotel only to find everyone asleep (I could really feel the team spirit I tell ya) and, after finding that I didn't make semi's, promptly joined the rest of the girls in slumber. Hours later, after finals rounds for clark were posted, we all met to go to the awards ceremony, at which point the team discovered that I had infact broken to Quarters and none of them had known about it. Clark and I both got plaques for our trouble, and we went to IHOP at 1:00 AM for dinner.
In the morning we had to leave at 7:30 for our 11:15 flight because the stupid skyline team had reserved the shuttle for 6 WHOLE HOURS to shuttle their huge team to the airport, and spent the extra time sleeping on the floor in front of our gate until our plane arrived.
So yup^^; I'm home safe and sound.
