Sarah: And this week we're doing oncology.
Lauren: ::blank stare::
Sarah: Cancer and Chemo.
Lauren: Oh.... my turn... Pneumatology! Bet you don't know what that means!
Sarah: Pneumatology... it sounds like a disease.
Lauren: It means the study of the Holy Spirit!
::we bust up laughing::
Sarah: Seriously, though! Pneumonia, Pneumothorax, Pneumocystis Pneumonia...
Lauren: Pneumo-Sarah-knows-too-many-words...
::we bust up laughing all over again::

Pudget Sound Update #1
Hi everyone,
After a four-hour drive through the snow, my dad and I arrived at the tournament around noon. I've judged a debate round since. It's great to be back.
The schedule's whacked out because they had to cancel an entire speech round, both patterns. So I don't actually know if we're late or not. The staff isn't acting like we are, but there's no re-written schedule around to know.
Rainmakers are their wonderful selves. It's encouraging to see the newer debaters be able to keep the same atmosphere and attitude about their group as I've experienced in past years of Rainmakers.
More updates to come, they should be announcing debate breaks tonight, if it goes as planned.

Our Own Stereotype...
I can see it now. . .
Homeschooled Teacher:
n. A peculiar individual who drinks tea, listens to gregorian chants constantly, loves words, refuses to openly admit their general dislike for grading papers, has a particular fascination with sarcasm, irony, and wit, and often suffers from a short attention span, general lack of focus, and consistent explosions of impossible ideas.
We're well on our way to a stereotype, my friends.

Good Friends with My Exacto Knife
Scratchboard Project
(It's a white glossy paper with a thin layer of black clay-like material over the top. After you create a photo collage as a design, you scratch away the black to show the white. It sure took a while, but I was happy with the result. For a first try, at least.)
