A Message for Colin Corbett
Colin Corbett,
I want to inform you that I will be going to the Mt. Hood CC Debate Tournament on Friday, despite my illness. If I'm lucky, my voice should be fully recovered by then, and some of the dead brain cells will have grown back. And don't forget, we're going to win too. Schweitzer and Ms. Doughty were undefeated at the last tournament (and yet they still didn't make semifinals...), so they will probably be doing good on Friday. If we can add a strong showing, then that would be really good. And hopefully the fact that we've only debated in 1 tournament together won't hold us down (ahah! [nervous laugh]). I think that it is psychologically imperative that we place in sweepstakes here, seing as it is the last competition before the district tournaments. And enter in impromptu again for Saturday. And if you really want to, do extemp with me: I'm making up a file for it. The more entries the better for this one. And look at it this way: this is the only tournament where you can triple enter (although technically it's not really triple entering). Try and make it to practice tomorrow (Thursday), I'll be there whether I make it to school or not. Danke!

As I told you before, I can't go on Saturday. Right now, I'm sitting at home (on the specified Saturday), waiting to leave for the Boy Scout event which I said I had to go to. But I do think we did well on Saturday. I wonder how they'll decide which teams go to Districts. I hope it's us.
