Well, I'm glad we do debating twice in 7/8T, instead of only getting to do it once. We must be a special lot of year eights, if Mr. Tait breaks tradition for us...
Anyway, debating's a lot of fun. Especially if you are facing a good opponent. Even the audience can have a great time listening to the debates, and I'm pretty sure everyone enjoyed them. I think I know who the debating team will be, but it's just a hunch. We had a pretty good topic, about as good as you can get. I was in the negative team for "Wellesley should expand to year 13", and it was such a good moot because the who team felt strongly that Wellesley shouldn't expand. Apparently, some of the opposition felt the same. I think the adjudicators did a pretty good job. They always went for the best team there (but I can honestly say I think William was bribed... But that's just me being biased). I'll try debating in College. It depends if anything clashes. A good topic for the QMC debate (I'll go with the general consensus here) would be "Boys are better than girls" (or flip them, it really makes no difference), and then make the girls affirmative, and the boys negative. I think that would be hilarious.
