So, those who follow me on Twitter, you’ll know I’m now on mid term break, and this makes me happy

Today’s been a fantastic day. Not only is it the first day of midterm, but I’m getting through so many things I need to get through. Current book is “The Boy In The Striped Pyjames” and I ate my way through half of that this morning. Film is Amadeus, which is about the life of Mozart. This sounds boring, but really isn’t. The actors are superb and I swear to -the drumming- God that I know the actor who plays the Emperor. He was in something. I KNOW it!

3rd piece of awesomeness concerns debating. The ‘College’s debating society met each week and they chose the team for the Junior team for the VEC society. (Secondary school debating competition).

Guess who got on the team? Yup, yours truly.

So, the Junior Team has 2 third years and 2 first years. I’m one of the first years, and I know the other three. On the whole team, there’s 3 boys and 1 girl.

For whatever reason, I was approached by the debating teacher in the corridor and told, and it was all unofficial and casual. I was the second last told, the girl was last, and she got the official version, the whole

“Would XYZ please report to reception

Over the intercom

There was the usual reply from people in the class of “Oooh! Somebody’s in trouble!” and the like, and she left. She returned a few minutes later, made straight for me and whispered excitedly “I got the team!” :)

Good day to be had for all, methinks

By the way, the motion of our first debate is that THE IRISH DO TOO MUCH DRINKING AND NOT ENOUGH THINKING. Your thoughts?
