Life has been insane lately. The first Forensic tournament of the season was last Saturday. It went...well...it could have been better. I think every one felt like they had been jipped, at least I did. But, oh well. I'm going to work hard on my speech (Sock Monkey Informative) and cream my competition this Saturday. I don't usually like to back down from something like this. And I'm not going to lose this week.
Now, if I could only memorise my speech and perfect my visuals. I always have trouble memorising things, my speech is no exception. I am happy to say that I know more of it now than I ever did last year. My visuals on the other hand.....Sheesh. That is the one thing I hate about Info. Forensic is all about speaking, how you present yourself...not your visuals. The people who let their visuals take over seem to do better. Now where is the justice in that? But I will prevail!
I've been sick on and off all this month too. Last Monday night mom took me to the E.R. because I was having trouble breathing. I was more worried about missing the tournament (now that's commitment) than actually feeling better. I had an upper respiratory infection. After a whole bunch of medication, three bloody noses (because of the medication) and a few days of rest, I was feeling better. Good thing too, because I wore my voice out at the tournament.
Well, I should get back to my speech. If anyone has any tips or anything for memorising my speech (especially the motivational kind {even if that means coming over and forcing me to do my speech}) please, feel free to drop me a line. Have a good week and don't forget to pray for all the kids participating in this Saturday's tournament. TTFN.
Spork On, Haley
