HP Magic winner announced

Jump to Comments

This was a great contest to be a part of. There were some truly amazing stories sent in, making it so hard to choose the final group. As per the contest rules 20 entrants were chosen and then the final winner was picked by assigning the finalists number and using random.org.

So without further ado. The Student Bloggers winner is… Darien of St. Catherines, Jamaica! I’m very happy to give this package to him to help with his work at the University of Technology, Jamaica as well as one of his fellow students who has helped Darien and other students with their work despite not owning a computer himself.

I will be posting some of the finals stories every other day for the next two weeks or so, and today we have Darien’s story. Enjoy!

When I got to school, I was really dreading this exam as I knew my ’studying techniques’ were….. insufficient, to say the least. At about 3:30 my friends and I headed for the auditorium to wait (the exam started at 5 pm). After a little while we heard a large explosion and all the lights went out; the transformer blew!

We later found out that a car accident (no injuries) nearby dislodged a power pole causing a chain reaction of blackouts. The start time came and went and as hundreds of students crowded the auditorium, we were told that it was postponed until ‘further notice’. Needless to say there were a lot of angry students and a lot of them started a protest, demanding to sit the exam or receive passing grades. Me, I was just happy for the extra time to study! It was in the news, http://www.radiojamaica.com/content/view/13995/26/

There are still more chances to win, so check out these contest that have started in the last few days: Digital Inspiration, Geekzone, and The Digital Lifestyle
