Having too much to say and too little time to say it in

is every debater's greatest challenge.

Luckily, we started the day off with a lecture by Shane and Jennifer over crystallization. We learned that sometimes too much of a good thing, like arguments, can be a bad thing. At the end of the lecture, Shane thought he was going to make us do a crystallization drill, but we quickly turned the tables on him by making him go first. After the drills came KLO's most exciting event yet: our first actual debate round!
Two of our more experienced members, Preethi and Sammy, volunteered to be the first to debate and did so in front of the entire group. For some of us, this was the first formal debate round we had ever seen and it was quite the experience. Preethi and Sammy did an excellent job and so did the rest of the lab when we broke off into three smaller groups after lunch, and everyone got a chance to debate.
Once the debates finished, we were rewarded for all of our hard work by being given the rest of the evening off.
