up early (now the third day in a row that i've not gotten nearly enough sleep) and spent the van ride desperately attempting to finish last-minute memorizing. here was my schedule:
8:00am--go to first round of CA. Stand in the front of the room, stumble, gain confidence, then 2/3 through the speech lose everything and have to pick up notecards from the back of the room. Embarrassment.
8:30am--go down 2 flights of stairs and perform POI to a room full of non-responsive women. C'mon! This is a good piece!
9:30am--go to 2nd round of CA. Abandon all hopes of performing the speech memorized. Use notecards the entire time.
10:00am--go to 2nd round of POI. Deliver break-up piece to a bunch of men. Fantastic.
11:00am--meet the rest of the team for lunch break and last minute practicing on prose.
1:30pm--1st round of prose. It was bad.
3:30pm--2nd round of prose. It was worse (just me and the judge. I looooove it when that happens.)
5:00pm--find out that I broke! (for the first time this semester!!!!) into finals. run to bathroom to practice.
5:15pm--go to round by myself and feel incredibly unsupported. watch amazing people. feel unworthy of being in this round.
7:00pm--watch ADS with Ann. Laughed, got bored, laughed some more. "I know I wouldn't want to put Ballz or Red Bull in my Heini."
9:00pm--awards with the team who is resentful that they have to stay because I'm the only one who broke. Bittersweet vindication.
10:00pm--head to Demo's for dinner. Get scared by Ann's reckless driving. eat steak and spaghetti. read surprisingly supportive ballots.
12:00am--finally start driving home.
2:00am--stop at hotel.
long day. wishing i had a re-charge day.
