LOOK AT THE CHAIR

So I'm a complete newbie in my university's debate society and I don't quite have all the mechanics of debating down yet. For example, I didn't know we should only look at the 'chair' (the chairperson) when we're up speaking. I thought it was a good thing that I was scanning the entire audience. WRONG... "Mika, your eyes tend to wander. You need to look at the chair," says my pro debater friend. So tonight at the debate meet, I didn't want to forget this lesson and wrote it in BOLD, CAPITAL letters on my hand. It did help! It also attracted the curiosity of an American stranger on the BTS! Wonder how he interpreted the phrase though.
