The spam vultures have descended upon this poor blog, particularly Russian ones. I wonder how blog scavenging occurs – is there a bot that hunts for blogs that have fallen into disuse?
I think it’s been over a year since my last post here and in that time I’ve maintained my nominal involvement with my high school speech and debate team i.e, attending CFLs and NFLs when my plane ticket from Chicago is less expensive than a ticket from either Boston or Providence and interacting with a parent chaperone and the occasional tournament at home over the winter holiday. I’ve liked some of the topics while looking askance at the NFL’s practice of selling topics to sponsors. That being said, I absolutely loved NFL 2010′s topic and thought that CFL 2010′s topic had value.
My brother, following in my footsteps, has devoted his attention to Student Congress rather than PFD or Extemp and shows promise. And with only one year of college left and plans to take a year off before attending law school (assuming I get into law school), I’m curious as to whether or not I’ll be able to be more involved with this beloved activity in the near future, either with my old team or with a new team yet to be found.
Good Luck! Stick with debate!
