<p>@BurningIce: No sports. 0 athletic prowness.
I play the flute though, since 4th grade (our elementary school offered band lessons) I take lessons through the public school system for 30 minutes once a week. I also play flute for instrumental ensemble :]
I’ve also played the piano since I was 6… I quit my lessons in 7th grade because I was wayyy to busy and my mom didn’t have enough money to finance them. So I chose the flute over the piano :]</p>

<p>I woke up at 12:00 today because yesterday was so much fun. I spent too much time hanging out when I could be memorizing Atticus’s speech for my English oral presentation or studying. So my best friend’s friend came from Florida to meet her brother who’s currently a freshman at Harvard. They had some orientation there or something. So I spent the entire Saturday being their tour guide. We went to the Commons, walked the Freedom trail, went to a bunch of educational historical sites, ate at Fanuiel Hall, went to Chinatown for dinner, and then we went to MIT. My friend’s brother was wearing a Harvard sweatshirt on the MIT campus, aha XD</p>

<p>More on debate:</p>

<p>My school is poor :frowning: so we only have a debate team, no Model UN or JSA :(:(. So when we do well in debate it is really good. Especially since the debate was held at my school. </p>

<p>Anyway, my resolution that I debated was: Should inflammatory speech be covered under the First Amendment?</p>

<p>My first debate, I destroyed a person who had backstabed my sister in the past. It was amazing!</p>

<p>My second debate, I faced my dreaded rival. Staples. Which I know one of the posters here attends, Idk who. Anyway, I really schooled these kids. </p>

<p>However, these Staples kids began to touch my back and hair and chest after the debate and broke my tie (@#$!@&$#@! BURBERRY TIE) which got them kicked of debate, suspended for a week and facing a suspension possibly</p>

<p>In the third debate, my partner (and sorta crush) absolutely went against the rules by ** doing what the other team told us to do** And while we might have lost either way, I pulled my act together and went crazy mode. Except, my partner, on the final debate part, didn’t use our evidence to prove the case of abuse of the resolution. </p>

<p>Anyway, we lost that 3rd debate, it the judge had left it as we had won. So I won best debater and best team, but then it was shown that I had lost and that I had to relinquish my award.</p>

<p>I felt really bad.</p>

<p>As in I Rick Rolled myself for my failure to pull of a comeback.</p>

<p>Also, I am looking for a new partner.</p>

<p>^ Oh man, I know what you mean about annoying debate kids. This one girl from another school told us she’s going to make a complaint about us because we were criticizing the debaters. First of all, one of the debaters was FROM OUR OWN SCHOOL and we weren’t criticizing her, we were discussing what she could do better next time.</p>

1547

<p>The problem is, that was the top two debate teams in CT for my age group. For a minute, I was the best in the State. Don’t feel bad. I’ll be back. Besides, one of the girls on the other debate team is one of my friends and got the best debater award after I got DQ’d. (Disqualified)</p>

<p>Anyway, I am honored, because it was my first debate</p>

<p>I am really intense when it comes to anything.</p>

<p>One of the judges even said that “***** was so commanding in the debate, it was like he stepped of Capitol Hill”</p>

<p>So, I am cool.</p>

<p>@Swinter:
LOL!!!</p>

<p>That happened to a friend of mine!</p>

1549

<p>Haha. So are you policy?</p>

1550

<p>Policy???</p>

1551

<p>What kind of debate do you do? Public forum?</p>

1552

<p>NVM</p>

<p>Yeah, I do policy, but I am trying to start up a JSA or a Model UN club in my school, but no one wants to (quote)“Roleplay as a lame country”.</p>

1553

<p>Why am I awake right now?</p>

1554

<p>My school has Model UN but it’s super inactive. </p>

<p>Haha yeah, isn’t it like 11 where you live right now? For me it’s only 8. :D</p>

1555

<p>It’s…11:11!!!</p>

1556

<p>Ooh, make a wish! :)</p>

1557

<p>Also, what country is your school in model un?</p>

1558

<p>Lol, I wish I could sleep!</p>

1559

<p>Like I said, it’s super inactive. So I don’t even know, man. I think Germany maybe?</p>

<p>Oh yeah, that’s right, you have school tomorrow. I am currently embarking on my third week of fall break. :D</p>
