Number one thing to do while bored at a tournament

**insightful** · 07-07-2008, 02:56 PM

I mostly listen to music with fellow speech team members, but on occasion I'll mingle with other teams at the tournament.

I just realized... I probably also think about what I'm going to eat a lot too. MMMMM cafeteria Nachos!

I think I mainly just walk all over the campus while going over my piece. I really only talk to peeps from other schools after the tourn, or if I don't break.

I do a bit of everything. If I'm particularly nervous or if I'm antsy to compete, I'll practice/talk to the walls, but a lot of the time I'm chatting with team members and/or competitors or listening to music with team members (we all share iPods--yay cute team bonding).

When we're at Nat Quals, we usually play cards and do a bunch of games. There's so much time to spare at Nat Quals bc it takes forever to post new rounds, and we just hang out. =)

At local tourneys, I know most of my competitors, so that's fun. =)

I find my self to be doing this, during the time spent at the tournament:

40% Competing
10% Waiting for posts
5% Eating
20% Walking/ Walking with iPod
10% Talking
5% Practicing
10% Listening to iPod/Playing Cards

0% flirting?! What is this barren forensics wasteland where you exist?

Haha, there is always a lot of flirting action at tournaments, now that I think about it. My favourite has to be "I really, really like your piece." (But he totally slept through all of the DI finals.)

It's weird, but I don't tend to flirt too much. It's always been with teammembers or boyfriends. Hmm. Maybe I need to broaden my forensics horizons. Haha.
