And the tournament continues… Day 11.

After the Fourth of July fun, students at the Mean Green LD Workshop resumed the grueling schedule of tournament rounds and lab. The day began with a swift wake up call of beeping timers and other lovely debate round sounds. The 9 AM debate may not have been as nice as breakfast in bed, but it allowed the students to test out the skills that they learned at the workshop. After lunch, the students reconvened with the ATM lab to talk about how the tournament rounds have been going. Some were extremely excited with the results and others were hoping to fix problems that had occurred in previous round. The afternoon concluded with the fourth tournament round, which left lots of time for the students to indulge in a long dinner. Similar to the schedule in the earlier half of the day, the evening began with lab. The students met in the sweltering basement of Bruce Hall. Each student worked on preparation for the upcoming round. Following a productive session of prep, the students had their fifth tournament round. Hopefully the ATM lab demonstrated their fabulous debate skills.

Special shout out: Take 5 is absolutely delicious. I seriously recommend that everyone take Michael's suggest and go buy one! Find a vending machine! Find a 7-11! Find a Sack-and-$ave! Just get yourself some of the pretzel, caramel, peanut, peanut butter, milk chocolate, chewy goodness!
