Ahh, forensics...
Last weekend, while I was taking the LSAT a second time, my team was competing at the University of Portland speech and debate tournament. Sam kept me posted throughout the day, and while we did well, I think the general consensus was that the tournament judging left a bit to be desired. Now, I know I wasn't the best speaker or debater when I was a student, but compared to some of the folks who consistently get ballots in our region, I'm a genius. Knowing that these people were going to be in a position of authority over my students last weekend was like having Kobe Bryant take my daughter to the prom.

Thomas, you rock the similes, as usual. "Like having Kobe..." God. That is funny. Not as funny as a wee little blue jay getting pecked to death--wait. That's not funny at all. :-)

Bravo on the LSAT, my friend! I am so glad you did better and can walk away a new member of the "I will never take that crappy, stressful standardized test again" club.

Welcome to why I was so welcomed in the communtiy.
My ballots have actual comments, they include things to do and things not to do, they offer suggestions in specific parts of a speech or program, and they have a reason for decision if you're in a final round.
For that, I might just have been the best judge in our region. No, really.
