So, somehow two of my junior high school debaters did really well at a junior high school tournament this past Friday.
They took first speaker in debate, third in debate, and second and third in oratory.
I taught them that in some way? I don’t know how that happened?
Junior high school students are like hyper little idiot-savants.
Half your prep time…
For the 1NC.
Edit: The other half for the 1NR.
tehinternaut asked: Great CEDA. OU was beautiful and I got my first timer from y'all :]
Thank you! It’s really chill to hear you had a good time, liked OU, and now have a good timer with OU’s name on it.
I also hope we were good hosts for ya. :)
Congrats!
OU Giglio/Leonardi wins CEDA Nationals on a 6-3 decision. Congrats to them, as well as everyone else who competed. Another year, another great CEDA Nats!
Welcome to Norman, everybody!
Good luck to everyone at CEDA Nationals this weekend!
tehinternaut asked: Oh we're gonna be there this week. You should show us new yorkers around. ja ja
Leigha: If only Norman, Oklahoma was that interesting and/or big as to require showing people around. It isn’t.
And maybe you’ll hit us, that’d be cool.
Tyler: We could definitely give you eating suggestions and stuff, though.
tehinternaut asked: what school do you debate for?
We both go to OU, so we’re debating at and hosting CEDA this year, which is interesting.
CEDA Nationals
This next week will be probably be a little slow for this blog. Leigha and I are both busy prepping for CEDA Nationals, and the kids we coach are on Spring Break. Feel free to put questions in our ask box, though, because we’re always looking for ways to procrastinate. We’ll have more for you next week, when we start getting our kids ready for Regionals.
When a novice misspeaks by saying "Lacanism" instead of "Lacanian" in a an angeled practice round:
- Varsity debater: Hehe, what's Lacanism?
- Novice: I-uh-
- Me: It's -
- Varsity debater: No, no, let her answer.
- Me: Oh, even if you knew what Lacan was, you wouldn't get it.
hope-mongerer asked: what's the meme in your icon?
Happy Kitten, which is great.
