Wow... being home is so wierd! It was an amazing trip to Tennessee, even better than I thought that it was going to be. None of us qualified, but we all had a good tournament, and had a lot of fun. Yeah, driving around Tennessee with the windows rolled down, the Beach Boy's California Girls blasting out the windows, rocking the van back and forth (all at the same time of course) was great. The only downside was that the pool was closed. Apparently in Tennessee the pool is open "seasonally" but it made it all the better when we switched hotels for the last night, yes indeed I love pools.
So, results. I think that the records were three of the five teams went 5-1 and the other two went 4-2, which is awesome. All but one California team broke to outrounds, which is very yes. Modesto all went out by Octofinals, but Rennee and Travis ended up in finals with a qualifiying spot for Nats. (Cody and Rachel, Jenna and Rachel, and the other PQ (the Pre-qualifieds) lost before semis) And for speaker awards I would say that just about every other, or every third person up there was from California! Chris and I got 14th place team... and he beat me in speaker points a couple of rounds, and got a speaker award which is totally swayous. I got 4th place speaker. Kelsey broke in extemp and went down in semis (with a very good speech I must say) and Jon broke in expos and went on to finals to get 5th place :-)
Very much so a good tournament... I miss everyone.
