Update on Farewell Mass and Awards....
Well, Mass started late, around 9:00 instead of 8:45...*shrugs* I went up w/ a 1st place award for Forensics, from a tournament I didn't even go to... (BTW, Willow, I compete in Info and Prose, but I'd like to get into DI or Duo.) I sat with the choir for Mass. It was kinda long, but not bad.
Then came the awards ceremony....we were in their 'til nearly noon....*cries*
I was already wearing NHS cords, but I got to add these...ahem...lovely red and gray ones for Forensics. They gave me a medal for being a "Monsignor Arthur Barth Scholar"...la dee freakin' da...I got recognized for being a National Merit Commended Scholar *rolls eyes* and for being in Liturgy Club (we set up for the week day Masses). I spent most of the time sitting there, being bored, while our principal mispronounced people's names and sauntered through the long list of awards. (Duorocks17 got cords for taking Health Academy! YAY DUO!!) We finally got to the last award, a $500 memorial scholarship in honor of my junior english teacher's deceased daughter. The award is supposed to be based, not on academics, but on overall human concern. I sat there thinking, "It's gonna be Kree!" (Kree's an awesome girl that everyone loves. She's always smiling and laughing and accepting of everyone.) Suddenly, they called my name instead of hers....talk about shocked...I still don't understand how or why I got it. (Except that the teacher liked me) It still hasn't sunken in yet.... I guess I'll have a computer at college next year....*shakes head* I keep thinking she picked the wrong person. I guess there isn't anything I can do about it.
