What can we azzume about this?

We can all say that as 9 PM grew closer, our attention spans grew considerably smaller. This was definitely understandable due to our extremely informative and intense debates with the Melin/Thompson/Abell lab. While we debated with the MTA lab yesterday, we got input from Mr. Timmons on a few rounds. Hailey learned that her negative case could make an affirmative squirm with her definition of "ought," but also learned how important a crystalization can be for a rebuttal. Mark had his first debate with someone outside our lab, and did an excellent job defending Societal Welfare on the negative side. Nick and Kayla both learned the importance of CX, as well as dropping arguments, as they attempted to debate over economic gains and worker welfare.

Everyone participated in lectures again today. Some of us chose to learn more about Social Welfare from Eric Melin, others focused on time allocation and issue selection from David McGough, a few got drilled to the max with Shane and Gary Johnson, while still others focused on their persuasive speaking skills through presentation from Liz Miller and Jennifer.

Despite the rain, many participated in a game of football after dinner. While no one suffered after-dinner cramps, some of us did get a bit dirty. Wild Will, Knarly Nick, and the ladies of the class took on the rest of the boys in a truly astounding and physically challenging game (anonymous sources have informed us that Brian Kim is quite the tackler, and it takes at least 3 full-grown gentlemen to bring Wild Will down). 

The tournament begins tomorrow, and we're ready for war!
