When I received an invitation from Fathom
Communications for Hilroy’s Back-to-School event, honestly, I hesitated. Should
I go? I'm no longer a student (even though sometimes I wish I still
was), or don’t have any children. But out of curiosity, I still made my way to the
presentation. I have to say I made a right call.
Hilroy has everything to offer for more than just students and teachers- from classic and practical binders to fashion-forward notebooks, and from back-to-school packages to home office supplies. The beautiful
colours, cute prints and creative designs really made me miss school all over
again. I couldn't help myself but thinking: "Oh man, why we didn't have this back in the day?" And guess what, most of the stuff is already in stores. So if you’d
like to avoid that end-of-August shopping crowd, I suggest that you check them out
now in Target, Walmart or some other retailers. As for me, I especially have my eyes on Nate Berkus's collection and will be heading to Target in no time. :p
当收到来自Fathom公司向我发出的去Hilroy活动的邀请时，说实在的，我犹豫了。我要去么？我既已经不是学生了（尽管有时候希望自己还是），也还没有孩子。这种文具预览活动不太适合我吧？不过，出于好奇，我还是去了。后来知道，这个决定非常正确。
从学生的文具到老师的用品，从经典实用的到前卫有创意的，从各种文具用品到居家办公品，他们家应有尽有。漂亮的色彩，可爱的图案，富有新意的设计让我再次萌生想要当学生的冲动。我不得不想：哎，为什么我们当时没有这样的文具呢？还有哦，大部分东西已经在塔吉特，沃尔玛等商场开始销售了。所以如果你不想凑八月低的购物热闹的话，我建议你还是尽早去看看吧。我呢，已经看重了Nate Berkus系列的东西啦。
Before making my way out, I was asked to play a game. In order to win all the candies from the event, I had to guess how many gum balls are in the jar. Can you guess what's the number I put down? What's your guess?
在我周之前被叫住来玩一个游戏。就是猜猜这个瓶子里有多少颗糖。谁猜得最接近，就可以把全部的糖都带走。你觉得我写的数字是多少？你会猜多少呢？
