This is my space and these are my thoughts

I have just finished my application to the QLEAD and e-mailed it in without a minute to spare. You see, Tiff Yau told me about this leadership conference at Queen's University this morning and obviously, I was interested in attending. The only problem was, the deadline for the application for today! Hopefully, I didn't get my application in too late, I'd like to go to this coference. Problem is, it's $200 and I'll have to miss one day of school...oh well, it's not that bad of a trade off for such an experience right? Anyways, part of the application form was to answer four questions. Three of them were pretty standard stuff (why do you wanna attend, what leadership skills have you demonstrated, name a leader you admire, blah blah blah) but one of them was pretty bizarre: Incorporating the words jumpsuit, Popsicle, Q-tip and Shania Twain key chain, explain how you would lead an expedition to dye the world’s polar bear population blue in an attempt to make them more effective ocean predators. Hmm...and this is supposed to tell them whether or not I'm qualified to attend?

Anyway, here is my completely BSed answer to that question:
4. As the leader of the expedition to dye the world’s polar bear population blue, I will equip each team member with at least one brightly coloured jumpsuit. Besides being warm and comfortable, the bright colours will stand out against the stark whiteness of the Arctic and catch the polar bear’s attention. For those who will not have the courage to stand up to the oncoming bear, the jumpsuit will ensure fast and flexible movement for easy escape. For those who will have the courage, the jumpsuit can be easily taken off to be used as a shroud to cover the polar bear’s head. This will deter it from attacking as it becomes confused and disoriented. Once the polar bear has calmed down, team members can begin to crush the blueberry flavoured, Popsicle brand juice bars into a slush to be used to cover the bear. This will be the blue dye for the bear’s fur. Once the blue Popsicle has hardened onto the bear’s coat, it will not come off easily. To touch up any missed spots, a Q-tip can be used apply the blue slush to the white fur. Finally, a Shania Twain key chain will be attached to the ear of each polar bear. Once in the water, the bear will be completely camouflaged except for the key chain. Seals, a polar bear’s main prey, are curious animals and naturally will be drawn towards the object floating in the ocean. Once the seals are close enough, the polar bear will have targets to catch. Although this way of dying every bear one at a time may be long and tedious, the personal touch given to each animal will ensure its complete cover-up and successful camouflage.

Haha, what you do think of it? Does it demonstrate my leadership abilities? Hehe, I hope so...well my chances of getting in are pretty high right? Considering not many people at school even know about this opportunity. Sorrie guys if you just found out now, the deadline was 6 minutes ago. Hehe, not my fault, blame Tiff Yau for telling me about it this morning and blame the guidance for not even mentioning this to anyone.

I digress (famous words of Mr. Doench). Tonight was university night at my school. Not much new to learn but I wish I woulda went to all of the sessions. Skipping out on the last one seemed like a waste of a chance but when you think about it, all of the places tell you basically the same information. Heard one and you've heard them all. But still...there's that feeling that I coulda done something and didn't. Oh well, there wasn't really any one university I really wanted to attend anyway.

Darn bio test, I screwed over my skills part. Darn that "explain diagramatically". He should've just written "explain graphically", I would've known what to do then. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, it's alright. For those who do, please don't laugh at me because you interpreted right and I didn't. Well, at least I did well on my chem quiz today, at least I hope I did. Only two questions and one sided too. Maybe Irving's catching on the even the smart people are doing bad in her course.

I think this has been one of the best weeks I've had in forever. There's the farm field trip tomorrow. "Moo," says dumcat. "Quack," replies BabyPixie. Oh the funniness in the dumbness we share. I prefer "Baaaa" actually. Hehe, I should be working on Ragtime notes but I believe I will sleep instead.


Goodnight, world. Don't fall apart while I'm busy snoozing.
