Well That Didn't Work

I'M ALL OVER THE PLACE
Hello all! It's good to back at AU, yes it is. The debate team was invited to William and Mary's annual tournament that took place this past weekend. Our team left campus at 12:30 on Friday and arrived there around 3:30. The tournament itself began around 4:30 (Zak and I debated against the most experienced team on the circuit first round) and, since the tournaments always run behind schedule, we finished our third round a little past midnight. Then, we all went to "evening festivities" (it can't be called a party, what party, there was a party?) which can only be described as having bad beer and good company. The lack of god alcohol, however, did not stop Connie (one of our two top debaters) from getting extremely drunk. Zak stayed up all night taking care of her and she spend all day Saturday throwing up. In all fairness, she probably had the flue in addition to a hangover. Regardless, Connie's partner, Jessie, had to compete alone, Zak was exhausted during our rounds, and (to make matters worse,) my voice came and went on Saturday as a result of the very uncomfortable 2 hours of sleep I got the night before on the floor of a freezing cold dorm there. I did, however, make a few new friends from various schools, but especially the team from GWU, which is excellent because they are so close to us. One of their debaters, a junior named Justin, asked me to dinner; he seems decent enough. I doubt it'll go anywhere, but we're going to go for Japanese later this week.

Not much happened yesterday. I caught up on the sleep I missed while at William and Mary (debate is surprisingly tiring) and attempted to catch up on some of the work I'd fallen behind on. When I awoke from my deep slumber (about 3 in the afternoon) I was greeted by an instant message from my friend Jeff, who is currently studying abroad in London. I've mentioned him before (see November 9, 2004) He asked me out (only after leaving for Great Britain) and he and I have been toying with the idea, but that's not the point I'm going for here...He and I were talking online yesterday and, long story really short, he invited me to visit him over spring break. I found a flight for $400 (relatively inexpensive) and since I'd stay with Jeff, I wouldn't have to pay for a hotel, etc, etc. Point is, not only would I get to see Jeff, I'd get to go to London for a little more than the cost of air-fare. I may even get to see Paris! I asked my mom and she's gonna get back to me about it; her tone was pretty positive though.

I may get to go to Europe! I may get to go to Europe! Yay!

Wow, excitement...me...odd. Comments ()
