Okay! Junior Nationals!

OMG. It was SOOO awesome. Although it wasn't as hard as I thought, but that might have been because we didn't really go against really good teams (which would have meant we were bad...?) Maybe we just have a really strong region, so we're used to harder teams than usual.

The first two teams we met were okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't as sophisticated debaters as I was used to. Maybe that's also because we face a lot of grade 10s in our region, and they're most likely better than the grade 9's. Maybe that's because I got better. Maybe that's because I was expecting too much. :S

Anyways, the rounds were pretty good, and I learned some new strategies for impromptu prep, plus some new language and organizing strategies for a case. I definitely learned a lot, and I'm really glad I went. :)

AND THE TABS CAME OUT AND I DIDN'T COME IN LAST AND I'M SOOOO EXCITED! AND HAPPY! EVEN THOUGH WE HAD SUCH A LOW NUMBER OF WINS AND OUR TEAM WIN-LOSS RECORD IS PRETTY BAD OUR SCORES ARE HIGH SO YAAAAAH!

:D Sooooo happy.
