I have no idea how I'm doing, but I am pessimistic about my first and third debates, or both of my affirmative debates, which is odd, considering I think I like judicial activism (although I am not sure yet).
It seems as if I fail at the things I truly care about and do well at the things I couldn't care less about. It seems unfair.
My last round I a. wore my scarf halfway through on accident b. said "I am now open to cross-examination" after my case AND after my rebuttal c. told the judge good job instead of thank you d. said fifty other things I didn't mean.
In my second round I said, "democracy can never protect rights." I meant judicial activism. Brain in gear before mouth...
On more optimistic subjects Josh warned me his lips are chapped so he's going to wear lots of chapstick before I get there. That made me smile. These are pics of him by the way. He is on the right in that muscle picture and second from the right in the other.
It makes me happy just to look at him.

I WILL NOT BE DISCOURAGED. I WILL WIN TOMORROW.
