Talk Is Cheap, Debate
Saw that *points at title* on one of the filipino debater's t-shirt. :) We just got back from NTU yesterday evening and I was dead beat.
Now, the tournament...
It was a pretty good experience. :) Debating with Vasan and Richard was really cool and I think we learnt a lot from the tournament and from each other. *hugs the guys* I guess all 3 of us were pretty disappointed with the round 6 results and that subsequently affected us in round 7 but the take home msg will be this "if ever we are adjudicators, we now understand how sucky debaters will feel if the adjudication was bad" and of course "don't let one round pour over into the next"
Staying together with the others for a whole week was quite an experience too. We've gotten pretty close after training together for such a long time ... but maybe it's this closeness that made things even more difficult. Learnt quite a bit about people around me, both good and bad and more importantly, learnt to see pass the bad, and concentrate on the good.
On a more interesting note, we've now got 8 (Elena being the exception) bimbos, a GB and a lot of pinoi-accent-faking people. ;)
To my fellow IMU debaters...
AUDC is over now, it's time to look forward. The Monash IV? NHSD? Or maybe even next year's Worlds or All-Asians or AUDC? Well, for many of us, this year will mark the end of our debating career but stuff we picked up from debates will definitly prove useful to us in time to come. Oh, and I forgot... I love you guys. *hugs*
