I hope you guys are doing well. Lately, I've been down with a nasty chest cold, but I still attended the National Speech and Debate "Forensics Fling" yesterday. Even though I woke up nauseous, I still took the 3 hour bus ride - emesis bag on hand. ;)
When we arrived, Ms. Robinson (our coach) explained how everything works, since this was our very first debate competition. I was competing in the areas of dramatic interpretation and duo interpretation with my friend, Michael Myers. (Yes I am aware of the funny name). She also told us that we were all signed up for student congress, which I had never even heard of. Anyway, I competed in 3 rounds of each competition... When I switched from duo to dramatic, I went from a nagging mom to a psycho killer. So I got a tad confused. haha. However, I did a great job if I do say so myself!
Student congress was amazing also. You have to give speeches on bills and I actually got up and talked - I even received a superb (6 out of 6) points on both my speeches!!! At the awards ceremony, they called out my & Michael's name for 2nd place duo interpretation. We were so excited... Then came dramatic interp scores. 3rd place - not me... 2nd place - not me... Everyone kept saying "JOHNA, you got this!" & sure enough, 1st place - Johna Wright! I legit cried because I was so happy (and surprised).
After we left, we made a trip to Chick-Fil-A, where I got to check out my scoresheet. I was ranked 1st by all three judges in dramatic interp! One judge even said "chilling!" at the end of my sheet. Score 1 for the crazy murderer! We also went to my favorite place, otherwise known as Starbucks for a coffee. :) Ms. Robinson and I have started a Starbucks picture tradition.
I am looking forward to the next speech and debate competition! I had sooo much fun! In other news, there are only TWO WEEKS OF SCHOOL LEFT. Junior year is almost over with... & you know what that means??? No more physics!!! Hallelujah!
I'm feeling pretty bad today after having so much fun yesterday; but hey, that's just the life of a spoonie. It was so worth it. If anyone has a question or comment, make sure to click that "add comment" button, and say anything you want!
FIGHT LIKE A SPOONIE!
