Case Closed
Seeing as my debate manhandled the last week of my life, I feel I obligated to let you all know it's finally over. I haven't heard yet if we won. Well, not officially. If my classmates got it right, I know. But I don't want to count my chickens before they break their proverbial shells.
Props to Jason, my partner for the affirmative, for all the work he put into this and for being willing (insane?) enough to go first. It was really a great experience. I would have been glad to cut down on the 20+ hours of research and preparation I put in over four days, but I actually enjoyed the process of building a case. Especially such a strong one. Oh yeah.
It is amazing how relaxed I feel now that it's done. I'm still as crazy busy as I was before I signed away my life, in the one-week sense anyway, to Dr. Morris. But with the removal of the single most controlling factor of the semester thus far, I'm having difficulty filling all the free time.
The best answer I've come up with so far is a common desire of most college students. It's this crazy thing that starts with an s and ends with a leep. It just hasn't actually materialized. But just knowing that I could sleep is, of itself, somewhat refreshing. I suppose I should be doing homework, but I'm having trouble getting motivated. I think I have a motivation deficit after everything this past week's work. But hey, if Congress can run a deficit budget, so can I. I'll just keep using motivation whether I actually have any or not.
Whoa, that was strangely self-defeating. While posting to avoid homework, I typed myself into doing homework. I'll have to work on that.

homework is bad. go sleep. you'll feel better, and motivated. not to do work, tho. to do great things.
