Hello, friends! 

As some of you know, I have been participating in an online speech and debate tournament the last couple of days. These tournaments usually start at 7 in the morning and, alternating every hour and a half between giving speeches and participating in debates, go until about 10 at night. It has been crazy, and I hope that I am soon to the end of it. Technically, there are two more days to go, however I will only have to complete if I break (advance).

I will find out if I break in debate in about fifteen minutes, so I'm a little bit nervous about that, especially considering that I've only ever broken in debate once, and that was last year at an abbreviated tournament where half of the people who broke didn't continue competing to finals, but just got an instant invite to regionals (but then covid happened and I ended up never getting to go). So.... again, I'm nervous. If I break that'd be freaking awesome, but at the same time it would be very stressful and terrifying.

As far as speech goes, I still have two more preliminary rounds to get done today and I won't see if I'll break there until tomorrow.

So anyways.... sorry I really haven't been on much, but the last couple of days have been extremely stressful. Online tournaments are like normal tournaments but with all of the fun ripped out of them and added stress...
