Night It Up Event Day 1


Today we did our usual english assignments in class. I was playing tilt to live again so addicted and its just so fun. Its such a simple game but its hard to survive for a long time. You usually die within like minutes. I am kind of behind in english assignments and must must must catch up before I fail. Don't want to fail this. Anyways, we played games, watched world cup and more from this class. My classmates from the bad teacher were so jealous. Oh well, that's life. I was laughing as some of my classmates got caught playing starcraft today. They were so focused that when the teacher walked by, they did not notice him. Pretty sad as the teacher started giving a short lecture about gaming in class. I was impressed that he did not punish them, this demonstrates that this teacher is very lenient and nice. We have not gotten any marks for our assignments yet so we have yet to know how his marking scheme is.

I heard one of my classmates from the bad teacher's class will try and switch out. His plan is to fake a sprained wrist. Therefore he cannot write essays because of his hand and he must use a computer. Our class is based on computer and everything is online. He is going to use this method to get into our class. I hope he gets in. Good Luck to him.

So I arrived at the Night it Up event late and all my partners were rushing to set up our booth before 7:00pm. There were 5 teams who were competing to have the highest profit within the two days. At 7:00pm all our revenue would be counted to the competition and we were freaking out since we were totally not ready. As we started our game booth at 7:00pm, there were many yelling at each other as we were freaking out and we did not have many customers. I even started to yell, note to self, gotta hold my anger. After some minor adjustments, our game booth became successful. I hope we are able to win however chances are minimal.

At 9:15, we had a 2 minute commercial on stage to advertise our booth. My role was to act as a poker chip and jump onto a tile which was on the floor. I was supposed to be really shy and someone would push me onto the tile. I jumped on the tile and landed exactly on the tile. This demonstrated how our game worked by showing off how easy our game was. Although it hurt, it was all worth it. That's was so embarrassing though. Other embarassing moments included having to stand on a chair with a megaphone telling people to try out our game booth. I had to speak in cantonese and english and I had to be loud. My partners had all lost their voices and I remained with a clear voice still. That's good.
