Today, I got my Imagine Cup welcome package in the mail. Some fun stuff: a travel guide to Brazil, and Brazilian Portuguese phrasebook, theSpoke pens. Fun, fun stuff. Also included is how we compete, our itinerary, etc. The welcome package makes this whole trip a little more tangible; my excitement (and anxiety) is starting to rise.
Coincidently, we also got word on the pools for the judging at the event. We’ll be competing against Belgium, Germany, Italy, China, UK, Korea, Hong Kong and Malaysia in the first round. You can go here for the details. There is a remark that the judging is a lot like the judging at American Idol.
Does that mean we can expect a Simon Cowell-type judge? 🙂 I don’t know how I’d like that. I enjoy his honest, open critiques when he speaks to others, but to me, he’s an asshole!
Starring Jason Beres as Simon Cowell.
Good Luck!
