Purple Patch!

If December had its own share of blues, 2010 brought with it a 'Purple Patch'. On January 6th, I was in the Principal's room (for a right reason although). I asked him for permission to attend a quiz competition. With a smile, he had his own reasons to refuse. Bothered in the least, I was determined to attend this competition.

Reasons:
1) On the same day, 3 months earlier, I lost a quiz competition after being on stage for the finals!
2) On the same day, 3 months earlier, I lost a Story Writing competition which my crush won! ;)
3) On the same day, a month ago, I was at the receiving end of a 'Caught Studying' saga!

7th of a month shouldn't be full of blues! There should be some credibility in the way 7th of a month can go for me. For all the right reasons, I wanted to throw myself on this opportunity and win the competition. Without any preparation, without any knowledge of the venue as well, I set out with my teammate. What happened on that day was a culmination of Fabulous events occurring at a Frenetic pace! I was literally sleeping when the prelims was conducted. No matter how hard my team-mate tried to wake me, I just wouldn't budge! It was not before the Finals ended that I knew a first prize would guarantee me 5000 bucks. The first action I did after winning was to update my Facebook page. I was on cloud nine when I found my photo on the newsreel the very next day!
On that day at school, I met the Principal and told him of my victory. When he knew of my earning, he virtually fell off his chair and said, "Boy! I didn't want you to participate. Now, you've got good amount of money!" The newsreel was put on display. All was well then...! The purple patch had begun and I'm smiling as good as ever!


Wishing you an year of great success!
Cheers,
Gopsay!
