A Journey....

Odyssey of the Mind....an odyssey is defined by Webster as a "long, wandering, and eventful journey".  I would say that definitely describes our year at Odyssey.


Long....YES
We have been meeting since August for at least 2 hours a week....and since January....for a lot more hours a week! We have been meeting for a long time.  We have spent long hours, and we have had some long days. 




Wandering.....YES
We have definitely wandered.  We've wandered from house to house for practice.  We have wandered what on earth we are doing.  We have wandered around high school campuses.  We wandered how to make an inantimate object become antimated.  We've wandered how to get a sheet to hang from PVC without sagging or falling.  We've wandered around Home Depot.  We have wandered what the outcome of regionals will be and if we will ever find out.  We've wandered what a spy, santa clause, the blue fairy, Pinochio, an ad dude, the FBI and a lawyer have to do with each other....yes we wander.


Eventful.....YES
I'd say.....We started off with Nerf Wars in a church and ended up with playing cards at Chapel Hill Highschool Commons area...and we've had pizza parties, movie nights, work days, challanges, problems, issues, laughs, emails, memories, rehersals, meals, carpools, sewing classes.....yes I'd say it has been eventful!



It was not easy....but it was not bad.....It was not always fun.....it was definitely an Odyssey.


We all grew, we all learned.....and now we all wait.......The Journey Continues......
