Lesson learned...
Nat. Quals Congress: Broke into semi's, not going to Philly this year.
Good speaking ability / articulation / eloquence can only get you so far.
The rest, it appears, is just awesome argumentation. Note Joshi in house semifinals, and myself in State Quals Congress semifinals. I was wondering how I could have pulled off 3rd regionally. Time to pull out my copy of Classical Rhetoric for the Classical Student.

I'm sorry; is it because I made you promise not to brag? Did I unwittingly steal your mojo? :(
Thomas: "Bwaha! Now he's just a pasty white kid. No, wait, he's really red."
Still, congrats for making it to semis. You have two more years to go, and infinite territory for conquest.
Make it up to you somehow?
That's SUCH a misquote!!
"You are the new Jeffrey Kwong... in a good way." Awwwww. Knowing how highly Jeff actually thinks of himself, that's like... the ultimate compliment.
...One of us needs to learn how to drive so I can regularly visit le Congress coordinator next year.
You remind me - I turn 15.5 today. Awesome. Time to get the learner's permit.
And as for Joyce making it up, I demand Thomas and Amy join us too for ice cream on a sunny day - the rain outside is definitely not cool.
you need to go watch some old nazi propaganda speeches; that'll help your scary speech skills
