Good Lord! The first round of the debate has just finished, walking towards the school earlier this day I felt like I was going to be eaten alive. I'm still as nervous as hell, given that most of the debaters here today are experienced and I on the other hand am a newbie- in all sense of the word. The only consolation I have is that my team mates are really great and they could at least help and guide me not to make a fool out of myself.
We won the first round, but I'm not sure whether we should take credit on that or not. True that we did presented a good case and in my opinion our cases are better than the government side of the debate, but still there are this so many factors why they lost. Firstly, it could be because they didn't want to win on the first round- given that its a power match they'd probably want to loose first and then work their way to the top.
Or the adj could think that if she decided to let the other team win that she might be accused of being biased. Or maybe we just did better that the other team.
Anyway, I'm not keeping my hopes up as to avoid any kind of depression later. I really think that anticipating something bad would help you not to be upset and that if it turns out okay, you may even be surprised (in a good way).
Round two is coming up... GOD HELP US!!
