The Last Few Weeks

The last few weeks have been pretty hectic for me, so I haven’t had time to post. Some notable things:

Last weekend, I went to St. Francis’ Robert Garcia Invitational with ChangChun Hwang. We went 3-3, and hit both Ott/Song and Rylan Schaeffer. It was pretty fun, and I got to experiment with some things during downtime. I also started playing Halo© again, mostly for the multiplayer aspect. Judging also happened to be quite good, with many policy flow judges. You can see my coverage of the tourney at Point of Information.

Over the week, I experienced a large amount of homework, as is common for people taking AP Calculus. I can’t say anything really happened… Although I did set up TTTH in order to shorten fileURLS for my webpages. For all intents and purposes, ttth.org is equal to aeturnalus.com except on the front page.

I just got back today from yet another speech and debate tournament: CFL Fall @ Menlo-Atherton. This time, I went with Sarthak Angal. Judges were ok, but not great. Through some stroke of luck (or unluck, really) I hit Schaeffer once more. This lost me the first round, keeping me from my undefeated record. I also got to talk to some people from other schools that do debate, and it was pretty fun overall. The tourney didn’t run behind, but they were pretty strict on CHSSA rules. A team apparently was even disqualified in the first round. Unfortunately, internet access was not provided in the tourney.

Something to mention about the two tourneys is that Ryan Lawrence, our head coach, wrote most of the resolutions.

Overall, it’s been a fun two weeks.
