Debating

You gotta love being ready to go and then you mutilate your thumb on a piece of fucking plastic, (over exagerating) and then spend a few minutes trying to get a bandaid on! Oh well I made it to the bus just in time and that is the important thing. Anyways onto what happened today, I got a pie (beef, cheese and bacon), a giant horrible tasting cookie, watched the start of Othello, talked about bats in Geography (I can't remembered if I got bit when I carried and saved a little bat and apparently I have some horrible...disease if I did), zoned out in maths, learned about the Academic Learning Program (which will be hepful before I start university), talked about Charles Manson and other such things in Psychology which was fun AND went to my first debating. SEE I DO THINGS FOR THE SCHOOL!

It was interesting watching people debate over the topic: Facebook does more harm then it does good. The people stuffed up because they the positive side said that facebook only does harm and no good and the negative side said that facebook did only good and no harm. They had statistics and facts which made you tune in more and I really liked the whole bitchy thing about the Point of Interest (when someone interupts the speaker in order for them to answer a question about what they had been speaking about) and I was pretty much itching in my seat to join them and tell them points that I knew.

There was a cute moment when we were asked if anything good had happened on facebook with us and I told them that me and Sevvy lost contact for about 2 years and facebook was how we found each other. They also laughed at me/with me (I was confused) when I said that it was so easy for a 40 year old man to pose as a attrative 16 year old boy. Heh oh well they laughed and smiled, that I what is impotant.

There was a boy though, who was rude during his whole speech. He didn't really care about his topic obviously and when he was called on to answer a question not only did he answer sarcastically 'Go on then.' he also asked them a question and that is strictly against the rules.

Other than that it was pretty good, there is a wide range of people that we will be up against, people from south africa, goths and nerds and some kinda 'cool' kids. I am really looking forward to next Wednesday cause that'll be my first debate. Our topic is: Plastic bans should be banned. We are the positive side so that isn't too hard. Since Mum knows a lot about animal protection, she can give me some pointers on what plastic bags can do to the environment (even the biodegradable ones).

Anyways it's getting late so I better go to bed otherwise I'll feel like a zombie when I rise from the dead in the morning!

Until Next Time
