Celebratory meal

We had a lot to celebrate tonight so we went to the VM after orchestra and got two frozen pizzas for a celebratory meal. What were we celebrating, you ask? Well, first, Bryn did her senior recital jury and passed. She didn't have to play anything again for the professors and now just has to do her senior recital (April 13 for any of you who need convo credit or just want to come because you like classical music) to be able to graduate. Second, Jonathan did a test to challenge Discrete Math, which he needed to graduate. He said he felt it went well so we figured that was a good reason to celebrate.

And finally (and least importantly since it didn't impact whether I would graduate or not), I did my last debate for Mass Communication & Society. It was on digital strategies and my position was that the Internet and new media are debasing journalism. I half believe that stance and half don't, but apparently all the media world don't agree with that position because it was super hard to find any sources to back what I was supporting. In any case, I did find a few and I think I made a pretty good argument despite not having too many great sources. I did plan out a pretty great rebuttal and James, my opponent, played right into my hands on that one. I think my rebuttal was probably one of the strongest parts of my debate, so for that I'm pretty happy. Anyway, so now the only thing I have left to do in that class is my 10-12 page research paper. Man, I can't wait until graduation...
