The good news: Andrew has finally extracted his pen from the Bermuda Triangle that is the boys' room. Caroline did not fall down the stairs today, despite there being rather a lot of them at our venue. Sean B. almost got a vegetarian meal today. Sean S. got to use the term "cleavages" in a debate. Kierstin seamlessly added 30-second markers into her timekeeping.
Also, we won our quarter-final against South Africa (This house would privatize public utilities). We had a very close (3-2) debate against Singapore on the topic "This house would partition Iraq". That means that we placed fourth overall, a finish that we are very happy with. Plus this means that instead of preparing for the final motion tonight, we can go out for dinner and go see some of the Seoul sights we haven't yet had a chance to. First on our list: a very tall tower with an excellent view of Seoul.
This has been a long and amazing journey, and we would like to thank all of you who have coached us, encouraged us, and put up with all of those "Guess what I just read in the Economist" conversations along the way.

Well done all of you. I only know Andrew but reputations travel fast in the small world of debating. 4th is an amazing result!

Really well done guys. I'm incredibly proud and happy for you all and very sad I couldn't have been there to battle it out with you.
Truly an amazing run - now go party! (Who wants to be preppinng on the second to last night anyway? ;)
Great job guys! Hope you enjoy the rest of the trip! (and complain bitterly about how much better job you could have done in the final! :P)
Good job! I'm really proud of you all... though possibly not to the level of Georgeanne. :)
But yeah, you pretty much make my life
Excellent performance folks! After a grueling week, (and over a year of Mr Poirier's assignments) I'm sure it's relieving to finish (and with style!)
See you on the CUSID circuit next year, maybe?
