Well, it's a new debate year. This calls for a few things: 1st of all, it calls for a new suit outfit (preferably new outfitS). So far I have gotten a new pink shirt and tie, royal blue shirt and tie, and am now taking recommendations on what my third color should be. Even though everyone knows I just wear the pink outfit...every...single....day.....but nevertheless, I'm not myself without two or more things in my closet that I never wear. 2ndly, this means I need to change, I mean, improve my speaking style (because everyone also knows, to change and to change for the better are two different things  ). I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I can't wait to try. Fair warning, so watch out. The 3rd and last thing it means, is that I need to spend long and confusing hours trying to figure out who the heck my partner is...and for anyone who has listened to me complain about past partner situations (I went from partnering with Brett, to Lauren, to JJ, and back to Brett all in a few months). you know exactly what I'm talking about. And, although this year has been a little confusing, it's September -- and I know who I'm partnering with!!! It's a miracle for sure! Looking forward to debating ya'll,
