Some days, I am amazed at my own ineptitude. Seriously.
I was practicing two days ago for the tournament that I read today and noted that, because of where I live right now, my speech patterns and diction have gone very far downhill. I was stumbling over names and I swear I slurred the word "fifteen" at least ten times. I also misplaced some of my pauses and rushed other parts. DX I also have recently noticed that my short-term memory is no where near as good as it used to be. It's so sad, and these failings just make me feel so frustrated at myself.


Onto better news!
After I read my first set, the guy whom I am more and more confident that he likes me came up after the teams had all left and said that I did very good for my first time and he was pleasantly surprised. We also had fun commenting on how stupid/annoying the teams were. We also got into a staple fight. XD So childish I know. But I can confidantly say he started it when he began popping them at me during break.
A few others also told me that I did well reading. It kinda makes up for my current self-disappointment that I didn't seem to do as badly as I did. (I don't think they realized that I ended up improv-ing some parts of the questions when I misread them. "were at one time called" got changed to "were called at one time" type stuff)

After we finished the tournament, the guy (I really should just start naming him), drove us out to a pizza buffet place. He seemed astonished that I had never been to one before. ^^ It was okay, but buffet is really wasted on me since I have a small stomach and only ate like 3 pieces... He also paid for my meal since I only had $9 on me, and I still have to get gas like SOON.
So yea, a guy who works at Burger King wouldn't just pay for someone's meal on a complete whim would he? Cause if BK gives that good of wages, I'm about to go see if they are hiring. XD I'm currently looking up some good recipies to make him a batch of cookies to say thank you for all the nice stuff he's done for me.
He has also volunteered (without prompting!) to help me write my horrendous 5-6 page history paper due next week.  He definantly deserves something.
I guess I should also mention that I am currently driving him up the wall because I called him "interesting" and refuse to explain myself. XD

So I have like 3 pages worth of History papers to go BS now. -_____- Meh. It's not that I don't like history, it's that I don't like writing papers for it based on someone else's terms. I can write an epic paper on the Tokugawa Shogunate, but "Imperialism in Africa"? I didn't even know Africa had imperialism... -_-;; And the paper is due in 7 hours... Heh...
I also have midterms next week. F!CK. xE

EDIT: My mother bought pizza tonight for everyone... The ironies of life strike again XD
