slcathena Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I have been a bit AWOL from posting for the last week. I didn't forget about NF or training, but couldn't really get the time to log on at our national championship competition. See, I have pretty much the geekiest job ever, I coach high schoolers in debate (yep, teach kids how to argue, and they pay me for it). Last weekend we went to our national championships and won one of the divisions. WOOT!I came back, a little annoyed at myself fitness wise b/c I only worked out once, and even though tournaments are physically grueling running back and forth/up/down stairs etc., I was sure I'd have work to do to get back to where I was. The universe took pity on me, apparently, b/c I came back the same weight and when I decided to try on a pair of jeans 1 size smaller than where I had been today, THEY FIT. DOUBLE WOOT!Back now. Won't go AWOL again. Halfling Female Ranger STR - 4 ~ DEX - 3 ~ STA - 5 ~ CON - 2 ~ WIS - 3 ~ CHA - 2 Link to comment

Elastigirl Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Double woot! My son was in highschool debate, now debating in college, and coaches highschool debate.

My mother says the same thing about me re: arguing. hee hee. It's a great activity. I get to work with some absolutely spectacular kiddos. Wouldn't change my job for the world.Kombimankenny - Love Monty Python SO MUCH. That is one of my favorite skits ever. I may have to go rewatch that now. Tin Man & Maegs - Thanks!
