TRY-VARSITY

No one can do it like a Rhodent!!!

Recently,I had the worst Tri-varstiy experience, and fellow Toastmasters will agree with me when I say "Fort hare sucks!".Of course that's considered a very rude statement, especially to be going about posting in Blogs which COULD be read be Fort hare-ers. In that case...it wasn't me!But in all honesty, I expected the time I spent "experiencing Tri-varsity" to be the experience of a lifetime!Such as my Rhodes counterparts on your right corner.Exhibit A:tri-varsity 2006.Though I wasn't there it's easy to see why Rhodents have such an...interesting reputation. As for Fort hare(East London), well they made us buy our own food, exposed us to amateur speaker(hence Rhodes clinching 6 positions out of the 8) and most importantly, they ridiculed our intellect and calibre by making us perform outrageous actions in our impromptu speeches. All in all, that is an experience I would like to bury in my past.

In an attempt to move away from a typical blog, i have chosen to lead you to a speech made by a Toastmaster I know and respect.This man, boy, whatever you want to call him(though I think he would appreciate "Patrick") wrote a speech about "TRY varsity", with an obvious pun on the word. In essence, his speech was made up of the attempts to fit into the varsity life and the fact that we don't need varsity,let alone school. No one knows anything because everything is a theory, and theories aren't their own thoughts in any case!In conclusion,Paddy(as we call him) or crabby Paddy(as I call him) told us that if we want something to complain about we must TRY varsity, and this is a stance which I completely propose.Perhaps what can save us is TRI-VARSITY.
