The Day ARC Saved The World
Most of you probably didn’t know it, but on Saturday, the world was nearly annihilated by a ninja named Anwar with an evil plot to destroy the ozone layer. Just thought I’d let you know. But as you probably guessed, the disaster was prevented by none other than a handful of nerds and soon-to-be-nerds with a knack for arguing.
And that’s pretty much what we did on Saturday.
But aside from saving the world, we also had a fun, exhausting, and even educational experience, teachers and students alike. Personally, this was the first debate workshop I’ve attended of my own free will. Two years ago, I was dragged in kicking and screaming. Last year, I managed to stay home, little knowing that somehow I’d end up debating all season long, anyway.
This year, I wound up teaching people who may or may not be in the same position I was in not so long ago. Ironic, no?
I had a good time. Who wouldn’t enjoy eating candy, throwing lego bricks, and talking about killer ninja monkeys?
Well…maybe you shouldn’t answer that question.
Neat! I like watching people debate, but if I was involved in one in front of a lot of people, well, I wouldn’t. I’m glad you like to do it though, I’m just not one for public speaking.
Blessings,
Taylor
*Wispers* You weren’t supposed to tell them that the world almost met it’s end. That was top secret information!
Oh yes! It’s so much fun being nerdy, throwing (and eating) candy, standing on tables, and mispelling “ninja”!
fun fun fun!
Funness! I wish I’d bee there!

That does sound like a lot of fun… especially the debating!
I’ve just spent a week doing disconcertingly similar activities- unfortunately it revolved around Emission Trading Schemes, Water Allocation, Utegate and huge buffet dinners, in which I routinely ate too much (which is the whole point of a buffet) instead of chocolate and ninjas.You’ve have to read my blog to understand.
How in the world do you argue about hypothetical maniac ninjas?
Sorry for not answering your comment- I completely forgot putting my URL on my blog WHOOPS! It’s joshualetchford.wordpress.com or just copy the link I edited into my second last post.
