3:30 - Wake up and stumble into shower, rush to get ready
4:30 - Pick up UC1. Don't remember what we talked about. Did we talk?
4:50 - Arrive at school. Get on bus. Watch everyone fall asleep.
5:30 - Am UC1's pillow
6:00 - Talk about stuff with Camilla, that one dude and Em with occasional comments from other people, depending on if they're awake or not.
6:30 - We use my flashlight to practice.
7:00 - I realize that with Joe, Travis, John and Tylon with us, there are more guys that girls in our grade on the trip. I am shocked.
7:30 - We arrive at Platte Canyon and notice that the flagpole seems like it's about to fall over.
8:00 - We change. I am happy that I did not forget anything.
8:30 - Maithreyi and I compete in Public Forum Debate against these really scary twins. (Our topic: Resolved: That the US should encourage the implementation of a soft partition in Iraq.) We think that they ate us for breakfast even though we debated the negative side, which was easier.
10:00 - We debate a mean and scary blonde couple. We think that they ate us for lunch. We had to debate the affirmative side.
11:30 - We debate the twins again and do much better. Because we went in the same order with the same sides as the first round, we essentially have the same debate, but we do a lot better.
12:15 - Lunch. Which should actually be called snarf-down-a-sandwich-while-you-write-an-intro-for-your-afternoon-interp-piece-and-massage-your-feet-because-your-shoes-are-actually-your-little-sister's-that-you-had-to-borrow-because-you-need-to-move-around-in-interp-and-can't-do-that-in-your-own-shoes-and-also-try-to-tune-out-the-annoying-school-that's-doing-the-hokey-pokey-really-loudly-and-as-soon-as-that's-done-start-helping-people-memorize-thier-oratories-and-once-you-have-heard-an-oratory-about-how-someone-hates-Romeo-and-Juliet-or-sports-players-using-steroids-when-the-orator-keeps-pronouncing-steroids-as-steeeroids-because-you-can-only-listen-that-stuff-about-twenty-times-you-run-away-and-find-a-piece-of-wall-that's-unoccupied-and-start-talking-to-it-practicing-for-your-humor-interp-until-someone-runs-into-the-cafeteria-and-shrieks-"posting"-and-then-everyone-freaks-out-and-starts-yelling-postings-and-everyone-rushes-to-the-posting-to-find-out-where-to-go-and-we're-talking-serious-sprinting-here-and-everyone-freaks-out-and-wishes-each-other-good-luck-and-runs-off-to-thier-respective-rooms.
1:30 - First round of humor interp with astrology girl, DUI guy, dancing-in-my-underpants-british girl and self-help girl. I think I did pretty well.

4:00 - We are ready to be done.
4:25 - Last posting. Phew.

7:00 - Awards ceremony. Peak to Peak gets a ton. UC1 wins Excellence in Humor Interp and Superior in One-On-One Value. Caitlin wins 1st in Impromptu. Em wins 2nd in Oratory. Weston wins third in Humor Interp. Cindy and Weston win 2nd in Duo Drama. Proof that the judges are crazy: Maithreyi and I got 2nd in Public Forum. Wow.
8:30 - We stop at Qdobas. UC1 and I argue over whether or not I'm anorexic. I eat to make her happy, even though I'm not hungry.
10:00 - We arrive at school.
10:30 - I get home.
11:00 - I fall asleep.

It was pretty amazing, wasn't it? I'm not going to post a timeline myself, because I think you covered it all pretty well :). And stop saying the judges were crazy - I'm sure you and Maithreyi were amazing. What did your Mum think of my message?
NICE!!! by the way, who is this "EM"???
Em is a junior, I think. She's in forensics with us. I think she's new this year.
UC1 got it right.
