Debate? Check.
So we had a pretty good turn out at the debate. No one won, but I felt that I lost a lot.
Well, aside from the unfortunate fact that I always feel bad or guilty with whatever I do, I also hate arguments and I hate it when I don't have the option to stay quiet. Being quiet just gives me the sense of security, and lessens my chances of committing mistakes.
Yes, this is a bad case of paranoia. And, yes, it is a bad habit to remain passive. It's not that I don't care, though. It just seems that way because I don't say anything. But when I'm asked, I say what I think. I just can't form the ideas when placed on the spot. Also, I am neither focused nor eloquent.
Ok, enough of my putting myself down again section.
Let's now go on to some news:
I heard some stuff about a Gen. McCarthy on the news. According to what I understand so far, he is one of the commanders (or probably the top commander) of the troops in Afghanistan. He was pulled out to attend something (I guess an important meeting) in Washington, D.C. The issue that he is in involves insubordination. Apparently, he went against V.P. Biden about something (or said some disrespectful things). Well, the verdict is not out yet, but people say that it would be a case of insubordination therefore he might get replaced.
My opinion: None. I don't have enough information to come to a conclusion.
Big news!!! [My] South Korea team got in the final 16 (with the help of Argentina, of course). SK had a draw with Nigeria. It was a thrilling game, and it would have been a clean game, if only the players didn't do much drama. I would say that Nigeria would have won the Emmy's for this one. I always thought that SK played clean, but I think I saw some acting here and there as well (I might also be wrong).
My opinion: It's sad that I wasn't able to watch the game. I was checking the scores every 10 minutes or so on ESPN.com while waiting for work to end, and while studying for my debate. I was also hoping for a win there, but I'll take a draw. If Greece had won yesterday... Korea would not have had a chance. Argentina had 6, Greece had 3, Korea had 3, and Nigeria had 0. Every win costs 3 points, draw 1, and lose 0. So, in the end, Korea had 4, Argentina 9, and Nigeria didn't exit with none.
Now, I have two teams to root for in the finals. Argentina and SK. One more team to go--GO TEAM USA! Btw, they're playing today. As far as I know, they've been going on for 10 minutes now... Sadly, I'm at work, my dad's at work, and my mom doesn't have the slightest interest in it.
Glad to have ESPN.com. Technology can be useful sometimes :)

Well, that's it for now. I have to stop slacking and get on with my work. Currently, I have unidentified pictures right here, and I'm figuring out the names and dates... Tedious, but kind of necessary.
Best wishes,
M.
