When I look back upon my previous week at Bates, my education does not particulary stand out as something worth typing about. My social interactions are not anything to write home about (or rather, write "internet" about) either. But something that takes up a large portion of my time, and thus a large portion of my memory, is debate. I eat, drink, breathe, sleep, think and scream debate. Alright, alright, that might not be true. I am a basic human being who needs nutrients, rather than independent points of argumentation, to survive. But something quite interesting happened this weekend at the Brandeis debate tournament that I think is worth sharing about. Something exciting and rare and magnificent. Something surprising:
I did well.

HELLO EVERYONE DID YOU MISS THE YELLITUDE?!
You know what? I missed all y'all. I'm glad we got to see each other over break (except Rachael, who must have inexplicably lost my number and not known who was texting her). I kid, I kid. Now that all of my abuse has gotten out of the way (All of it? Who are we kidding.), let's kick some ARSE!!!!!11!!11!!!1!!!!shiftone!!!!11!!

"Time is making fools of us again"
| When making fun of Palin, the question not "Why?" but "Why not?" |
It’s already Friday again?!
How does time pass so quickly? Dumbledore ne’er said a truer thing than the
title of my blogpost. He probably said
other equally-true things, but ne’er a truer! Ne’er! Yea, verily!
Speaking of which, I emailed Ms. Topping this week to have her look at a poem I’m submitting to our literary magazine and titled said email “Yea, verily!”. Oh wait what I wrote poetry?!
