We got back from the AU tourney earlier today, around 8:30ish.
I hybrided with Matt Herdman from William & Mary. I must admit at first I was very timid about hybriding, but it turned out really well. Matt was an awesome debater, really cool, and we had actual mutual friends in real life!
Our rounds were as followed:
W&M/Fordham, MD C - We should not use public funding to tear down and rebuild the new Yankee Stadium
Duke B, W&M/Fordham - Eminent domain should be eliminated
UVA A, W&M/Fordham - Performance enhancers should be legalized
W&M/Fordham, Swatmore/Brandeis - SUV vs Electric Car
W&M/Fordham, MD F - Schools should not be allowed to restrict food based on child welfare
The tournament went really well. I hung out a lot with Chicago and Columbia. Turns out Tom Blaser managed to convince Greg Nance to join their team! (Tom is a self-proclaimed scared puppy)
Friday night went well, Team Chicago, Team Columbia and I had all gone to the Monument Mall, while the rest of team Fordham, Matt G, Laura, Gareth, and Robert walked to the Metro and went to see the mall on their own. I had taken the shuttle w/ Columbia and met up with Chicago at the Metro cuz they had not waited for us. We checked out the sites and then went to go look for food. We walked around for over an hour trying to find food, but had no luck :-\ It was very sad, we couldnt find any food :( Then it started to POUR!!! It was nearing 3 AM, so we decided to head back to the AU dorms since the train/shuttle stopped running at 3AM.
