[university-l] The Post Forum Blues

[Arminda W Lathrop]

IDEA Debaters across the globe are reporting symptoms of Post Forum Blues.
 Post Forum Blues, common among debaters who have just spent two weeks in
Trest, Czech Republic cannot be cured.  But, there are several medications
to help with symptoms:

1) Check the IDEA Blog at idebate.blogspot.com.  Recount the Forum fun and
add comments to the blogs!

2) Participate in the TPS Global Debates at your school.  For more
information, go to www.idebate.org/thepeoplespeak.  To register, go to
www.thepeoplespeak.org.  Email alathrop at idebate.org with questions.

3) Sign up for the group IDEA Alums on Facebook.  You can share your
pictures, reconnect with other people, and see pictures of past events.

4) Drink a lot of Dobra Voda.

5) Schedule regular coffee breaks daily.

6) Spend some time explaining the case for and against the resolution:
"Hate Speech Should be a Crime."  If you don't have anyone to discuss this
with, try your dog or cat.

7) Sign up for the IDEA listserv at www.idebate.org

8) Get ready for next year's Forum in Bulgaria!
