It was interesting... I was debating with Tim this weekend. Being somewhat fed up with the team decided that we would have tons of fun and why not drink. So after round 1 we had some drinks, perhaps a shot.. or 3.. this lead to me being drunk for round 2. I was drunk but fine up to my PMR, which went something like
Me: Madam Speaker, I'm not feeling too well, I think I need to sit down....
Needless to say, by the end of the speech, my head was in my hand, and it was bad. However I was fine for round 3 after sitting for a bit, Tim on the other hand... got worse.
I had managed to corrupt some of the novii, yes I was the bad influence for once! lol
After rounds on Friday night, Jayme, BoMa, and I headed to McFadden's for Ashley's 22nd birthday celebration. It was a lot of fun, people were really surprised I had come - lol. We ended up staying really late and not getting back until 4 AM, when I found out that Gareth had gotten food poisoning and had to go to the hospital :(
2.5 hours later, I was off to the Metro North to catch the train on our way to NYU for day 2, which was less fun/eventful.
This past weekend the team (Meg, Caitlin, Gareth, Robert, Laura) and I went to Northams - the North American Championships at York University in Toronto, CA.
It was a longgg drive up there. We left after the meeting on Thursday night, stayed over some weird place in upstate NY near the Canadian border, and then finally arrived to the Holiday Inn around 2 PM on Friday. Needless to say, it was a long drive... We finally got to the tournament, and EVERYONE was there, well a lot of my old friends who I havent seen in a long time. :)
I judged a few good rounds, I judged 1/2 Canadian Teams and 1/2 American Teams, however all the panels I was consisted of me being the only American, which was cool. I made a ton of new Canadian friends! I got to judge a few teams who broke and a bubble round. I even helped set up 2 guys ;)
Friday night was lots of fun, I partied w/ a bunch of people from APDA. Apparently the tournament party sucked. My team was being lame and most of them went to bed, Kyle and Liam were very disappointed at this sate of my team. However after much nagging we finally got Gareth and Robert to join us :)
Saturday night after the banquet, which kind of sucked, I chilled w/ the team, who gave me a super hard time about wearing shorts... it's not like I was going to leave the hotel... After that I ended up hanging out with some kids from UBC, and Matt Scarola and a whole crew after that. I met a few new people, and made good decisions (although I wish I had made some bad ones w/ my crush... aww well).
By the end of the tournament we couldn't wait to get home to good ole USA. On the way home we stopped at Cracker Barrel for lunch :)
Yesterday I went up to Fordham to support Jayme and Greg at Encaenia - Fordham's Award Ceremony. It took me an hour to get up there, it should have only took me 40-50 mins max. I got to hang out w/ everyone which was fun.
The ceremony itself was BORING, but it was very nice. I was proxying the annoying parent taking lots of pix for the DeSocios ;) At the reception they had tons of champaigne and chocolate covered strawberries :)
On another note, looks like I have a date (well dinner at least) w/ Mike next week! :)
