Happy Studying!

Summer Meetings

Hi everyone! :b I know that it seems like I abandoned the blog, but it's still alive. Just so everyone stays updated, the next meeting will be on Thursday, June 20. There will be two sessions so that everyone can make it. One will be from 9-10:30 pm and the other is around 1-3 pm (I will update with the exact time when I receive the information). We will most likely be meeting up in the computer lab at the E-building (I will provide the room number when I receive the information) to start working on our speeches. In the meantime, make sure you outline your speeches and go on Sparknotes to read about The Sun Also Rises. If you need some help with your speeches, you can always look at the speech resource on Demidec or ask me for help. Anyways, happy summer and happy studying.

No Meeting

Hi! No meeting these next two weeks because of CST's, so just make sure to eat, sleep, and study. Good luck, and I'll see you all in a couple of weeks. We'll keep you posted if anything happens to come up. Also, don't forget to pick up your buttons at the art gallery on April 25 and 26, and it's Day of Silence this Friday if any of you guys are interested.

Introduction Meeting

Hi everyone! This is just a reminder to everyone that we will be having an introduction meeting for potential members on Tuesday, April 2 from 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm. I hope that some of you will go and give a warm welcome to our future members and tell them all about how awesome we are. (: Regretfully, I will not be there due to a prior engagement, so I hope you guys will help give them idea of what we are all about. Also, our table will still be out at the quad this Monday and Tuesday, so please bring your friends.

Competition - Day 1

Hi! So it looks like the first day of competition is finally upon us. To all those competing, good luck! Make sure you dress to impress tomorrow as we are doing essay, interview, and speech/impromptu portions. Remember that the bus will be there at 8:00 a.m., so don't be late. Please ready your speeches, get a good night's rest, and eat breakfast in the morning. Don't stress about it. You will all be great because you are just amazing, talented people! ^-^

Study Time!

Hi everyone! So, there are about twenty days till the first day of competition! (I try to keep the sidebar updated with the countdown. :b) I hope you have all been studying. With that in mind, don't forget about the Demidec website. The cram kits are quite useful and easier to read through than the resources (though everyone should have looked at the resources as well). Also, make sure you have your speeches finished (and hopefully memorized).

Anyways, we will be going over literature and the shorter selections this week. I'm hoping that everyone read the novel, but if not, at least understands what is going on in the novel. It's a love and war story! :D

Well, keep studying so we can do even better this year! ^-^
