Ok I just received an email from my debate coach. I am now signed up to go to a useless tournament this weekend. The problems are 1) I don't want to go to this one. 2) I know very little about this topic. 3)I hate this topic. 4) I really am not that great at debate so why was I chosen.
Ya maybe not the best reasons, but I would prefer to avoid embarressments this weekend and really just avoid it. I gotta get out of this and so far all I have thought of is saying I have something better to do. Really there are no advantages to me doing this, only disadvantages. The only reason they are even doing this is to give some of the debaters going to Emory some experience on the topic. I am not going to Emory for I don't qualify, SO WHY ME!
PS I am not feeling great, maybe that would be an option if I work it correctly.
