A weekend to remember...

Argh!! I am so tired. After a speech and debate tournament on Friday and Saturday and a trip to Indy on Sunday I wonder how much school is actually going to happen today...For the speech and debate tourney, I had four rounds of debate on medical malpractice. And I really don't know anything about medical malpractice, so that made it slightly interesting! One debate round lasts like 1 and a half hours and they squished three of them in before dinner! So we were all majorly starved after round 3. Finally after coming home at like, midnight I had to get up at 6:30 in the morning and go over to the church to set up. Then speech rounds started and believe me, I was really tired!! One type of speech I had to do was impromptu where they gave me a topic and I had 2 min. To prepare a 5 min. Speech. On top of that there were 60 kids competing in impromptu alone!! So compition was really tough! However the awards cermony went really well, and i place 3rd in impromptu so that was encouraging ( i was shocked, really, i didn't think i would make the top ten!) anyway as soon as speech was over i went to a recital thing and accompanied a friend on the violin and then I got home at about midnight...again! Then the next day i travelled to southside for my first ever service there! (so now i can't use "i never been to a service at southside before" for the game "i never"... and that was a good one too!!) Anyway sending out the Blackwoods was a time of mixed emotions, sadness, hysterics, food, Mr. Blackwoods great speeches, crying (well, i really think there was more crying after ECHO...well...in a way...) pictures, good pics, ok pics, and then there are...Zachs pics, hugging, dragging siblings away from the church (literally), and a lot of other interesting events. We will all definitely miss the Blackwoods! Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week!!
