First Time for Everything

This blog will have to be about firsts, no way around it.

Starting something new is full of firsts, even if it’s something you consider familiar. In a couple of weeks we’ll have our first debate meeting. I don’t think I’ll feel comfortable until some students show up.

I find this University very supportive, and they seem as eager as I am to get debate as an active part of the campus community. At all the meetings yesterday, faculty seemed excited about the potential and possibility of having this program.

My mind this morning is full of anxiety about firsts:
What will the first meeting be like?

What will the first tournament be like?

Will anyone come to our first on campus debate?

Today I must print the flyers and then go around hanging them up this afternoon. I also plan to circulate a Facebook advertisement, as well as put a couple of ads in the school paper.
