so we had our interclass debate competition today. it was fun. until the debates started. then it was really fun. first of all there was a whole bunch of senseless cheering. which was expected. cause. well. there are only so few outlets to really show up here. during all of the debates there were plenty of boos. oh and what they call hooting. as opposed to rooting. all fine and dandy until the 2nd year girls got a little rowdy and started cursing the 1st year girls out. that was uncalled for but that wasn't the best part. the debates were in english, urdu and punjabi. yeah. i said punjabi. everyone went ape when they started up the punjabi debates. i'm not talking about the crowd. i'm talking about the debaters. there was a point when one of the debatees. is that a word? started telling the 4th year class to shut up. at that point it was on. and by that i mean there was some direct use of abusive language and so they had to have some of the professors make the kids settle down. it was the best debate i have ever been to in my life.
