I come from a land down under ;)

Watch out for all the photos and blogs post about my semester abroad in Australia!
Winter/ Debate

Like I have been saying a lot these past few post, I very much dislike winter!! And on top of that I had a meeting set for this morning at 8 when I do not even have class until 10 and the person I was meeting with never showed up so I lost a few hours of much needed sleep. :(

But on a better note, I am back in the swing of things with the debate team! I really missed it while I was away. You really learn so much it is crazy! Right now our resolution is "The United States Federal Government should significantly limit the authority of the Department of Homeland Security." I thought this topic was going to suck but really it has been great. There is so much stuff that you never even think about until you sit down and start to research and discover all kinds of wild facts. We leave on Thursday for our first debate tournament of the semester, we have to take a eight hour bus ride to get to the school, not looking forward to that. But there is talk that this year nationals are going to be in DC so I am really hoping that is true! Last year they were held in New York City and Ball State WON! It was amazing! We got to go around in limo for five hours all over down town it was great... and the best part is I didn't have to pay for a thing! Yeah being on the team BSU pays for everything so it was great to go and do all that we did pretty much for free. Well I am going to go walk to class now, Hope everyone is having a great day!

Cheers
