impromptu debate

Had an impromptu debate with 1h prep time... did really badly, only finishing my rebuttals at the 5 minute mark, and that's seriously overtime, which leaves me 1 min for my tenuous substantive. The other 2nd speaker (right after me) was so good that he pushed the odds against us, and by the time Dewin came, it's as though they've won already. So it was sort of my fault that we lost, as was the last time.

Surprisingly, I was able to talk for 6 minutes non-stop, an amazing feat for someone who speaks hardly 1000 words a day. I ended up feeling proud of myself even though we lost.

1 last debate- I'm going all out to win this!
