Have We Yet Arived?

Joy says I don't have enough Iron, maybe that's why, but who knows. I think that this was my hardest tournament that I've ever been to. I was completely exhausted constantly, almost falling asleep in rounds, and between rounds, even though I slept enough hours... well, all but one night. Trying not to cry during rounds, which thankfully the only rounds I actually did were a non-outround, and one I wasn't debating in, which of course, no one noticed. We did extremely well despite all of that, but it's just not the same. I feel like I cheated myself out of something better because I couldn't focus enough to think of arguments let alone debate well. And I also feel like we should have lost the first outround in order to give someone else a chance to make it all the way. For the most part I guess the tournament was good though.

I am teaching classes all week because Devan is on vacation. I am extremely nervous about teaching the chearleading class (the only class that I haven't tought before) That is tomorrow night, and I have been freaking out about it for forever, so basically I can't wait for it to be over.

::hugs:: It's all in God's hands, honey. Your wins and loses (in life and in debate) are His.... I'm just sorry I was off judging so much and didn't get to spend time with you during the day. :-/

And you teaching a chearleading class is an absolutely hysterical mental picture. But I'm sure you'll do great. :-D

Call me if you need some one to talk to.
