No wonder there's all this noise outside the office.

There's a high school debate tournament going on in the auditorium, and they've spilled out after the awards ceremony.

That explains it.

Aieee, I don't. I was champion of a Lincoln-Douglas style debate one year(this is in the prep school circuit, so no mean feat), and the 'exhibition round' was pretty harrowing. I somehow lucked out and the blowhard who was my opponent was far more unnerved than I was. He actually bounded up beforehand to 'shake your hand cuz we both know you're gonna win'-- which gave me all the calm I needed to cream him in it. But it was still uber-crazy.

I managed to avoid Harvard every year, but I get hives remembering those high school tournaments, even after I switched from policy to LD. ::shudder::
