Nearing the end of the road~

It is nearing the end of the road and the exit is clear. Every three hundred and sixty five days that lead up to the end of what we call a school year seems to get more and more hectic every year. I haven't been able to blog for a long long while now due to the fact that I have been overwhelmed with homework. It is either the fact that things are getting harder or that we simply believed if we had survived it than it couldn't have been that bad. Even though I'm sure every one of us tells ourselves that "No! I can't make it! I'm going to die this time!" we somehow find the will to finish what we've started. For whenever there's a will, there's a way!

Not much has changed since the last time I made contact with this keyboard. I had recently finished my summative evaluations so class has been a bore as we sit in class day after day collecting dust. Today however was rather a pleasant one. During my second period spare I attended my school's event known as the Invention Convention. This is held by a grade 11 business course where groups come up with a company name and a product or service to distribute. On the day of the convention they show off their product or service and give a sales pitch. The variety of products was amazing. From Gur's Lambda ID Program to Tiff's PropRose where they plan book and set the date for when you are to propose to your loved one. Suzzy's group had done Yuki's Creative Lunchies meant for couples. Ram's group even did a hair styling product, but many of the groups like Sasa's group chose to do colour contacts.

Several interesting events had occurred that caught my attention. First of all, Eddie's group that did the universal remote lost power for a good ten minutes because someone had kicked their power bar. Another group I was not aware of chose to do a computer product and named their company PCP. To those of you that do not know, PCP is an illegal anti-depressant or a "drug" that gets you high. I believe that the group was not aware of that, I am just surprised the teacher did not catch that one. Eu's group did t-shirt designs called "Bomb". However their slogan was "Bomb the nation, bomb the world." I asked him if he realized that his company promoted terrorism and but he had no reply.

Kream had done this product, which was basically a solution of gel and shampoo. You could then style your hair after you washed it and it would stay that way. I proceeded to walk up to him and ask "What if I want to wash my hair but I don't want to gel it? Better yet what if I want to gel it but I don't want clean hair =o!?" He stared at me blankly and told me to gtfo. While I was trying to mess with Kream, Will was running around trying to mess with other people. He asked the universal remote people if the remote was so convenient, what would happen if he had gotten a finger cramp? They told him that he could than walk to whatever it is he needs to turn on. Than he replied that it then defeats the purpose of having the product and that his back hurt. K.V. ran into a similar problem as his Warm Beatz, which was the combination of headphones and a tuke, was questioned "What if snow melts while you're snowboarding and water gets into the headphones?" K.V. replied that they had insurance to cover water damage. When he had told me the situation I replied "Why didn't you just say it was water proof?" He went silent.


All in all it was a really fun convention. I had drawn a vector of Taylor Swift shortly after watching her You Belong With Me music video since she was so pretty. The lesson I had learned today is that the end of all things may seem tough but as long as you look forward, you will be able to get to the end because the end of the road really isn't that bad.
