IVED Makassar : I've been left behind

IVED 2011 was held in Unhas,makassar. I was being n1 adju for ITB B there. Generally, it was so damn fun. going together through thousands kilometers with SEF ITB, 6 nights gossiping, and having fun in Trans Studio. But, behind all of those fun, I have one regrets. I have left behing my friends.

It begins 2 months ago, when Intercomp of ived was held. I can't through the intercomp, I couldn't be better than them. my friends that 2010, 3 of them has passed the intercomp for the team ITB to ived. then aain when adjudicator intercomp, i can't though it for the second time. I'm just lucky because ITB got 3 quotas so I can join as adju. Actually I enjoyed the ived training, yet my progress in adjudicating wasn't significant. Marsha and Gladys a lot better in adjudicating, I was the one who left behind again.

Makassar, January 2011 the Ived began. I met many ex HS debaters whom I used to know in HS debating. What make special, was my ex Cisauk teammate Fiky and Salsa. we had little reunion there. Me, Salsa, Fiky and our ex coach Naufal meet again yet now the condition is different. We used to go to competition in same Institution, Cisauk. But now, we meet again in competition with different institution. we used to sit in same bench, now we sit in opposite bench. Salsa was represent EDS UGM B, and Fiky represent EDS UI C. They were good in their own institution. In breaking Night party, everything was clear, Fiky's and Salsa's team, Both break to elimination round yet I didn't break as an adju. what pressurize me was all EDS UI's and EDS UGM's teams+adjudicators broke to elimination round, while SEF ITB didn't clean-sweep because all teams and adju broke except me. I feel so suck. But in GrandFinal night, everything was so clear that distinguish me and my old friends. Fiky and Salsa got 5 best novice speakers, but me even can't break as an adju..

I realize, I can't left behind forever. I will rise and being in the level where they can't beat me. I will train myself harder to be compared with them. ALSA unpad, next month, I will meet you again and I should face you as your strongest opponent
