although a reluctant [proof that i'm not one to seek attention] participant whose name her classmate's never failed to volunteer for the *opposition* team [it's definitely easier than defendin the topic]; i'm eternally grateful for the skills that debating has had equipped me.

[ok i admit, i once harboured a short-lived ambition to become a lawyer. and went on to work in two law firm's as a temp shortly before and after my UK hols.]
