Uh-oh Posted by Hello

And, the debate update on CNN

Gosh, its going to be a rather tough week ahead. For starters, the St Thom vs St Mary debate is up next Friday which means, at best, we have two days to let Garrick prepare. And the tension is unbearable! There's rumours that their third speaker, Jylene is damn good at rebuttals, but then again other people i asked said she stutters like hell. Which is good. And the there's the news that they have a form 1 speaker in the lines, which would be most embarrasing if we lost. i mean, we're like veterans compared to form 1s. Lets see, our overall strenghts and weaknesses that suit us to our roles:

1st speaker: Garrick Yeo. Able to capture and charm the judges with a voice that is, to say the least, amazingly clear. Does very good first impressions.

2nd speaker: Aaron Zachary. The most charismatic and experienced among us. Able to create speeches that are often bulletproof, without any chance for POIs.

3rd speaker: Me. Viciously sarcastic during debate. Tends to cry in reaction to pressure. Not bad at rebuttals, if i do say so myself. =D

Okay then. I think i've managed to calm myself down. We're pretty okay, team wise. Just need more experience.
