Man, she is so going to 10-point all your responses and then twiddle her thumbs for the remaining 7:59 of her constructive. I think every person's debate career ends on a sour note, if not necessarily a loss. The 1-4 might win their last round, but they didn't clear to outrounds. Anyway, I thought it was telling.

So this person's last debate round would be a win, it would just occur in prelims rather than outrounds. Perhaps we should rephrase Alex as saying every good debater's debate career ends in a loss. For the record, mine ended in a loss. Not that this means I was good.

When caught up in the moment, we see things in black and white. But when I look back, it's different. It's all perspective, knowing that I have learned so much, experienced so much, so much for the future. That itself is a win. And the resentment I feel is only because I judge people in a certain way, and perhaps I was not right to judge them in that way. But then again, we move on, we should care more about the future than holding onto the past. It’s not quite win or lose. When caught up in the moment, we see things in black and white.
