After work.....rushed downtown......to.......
The 2010 awards night for my program.
As I told many people before, I did not bring a guest. It turns out that most people did not bring a guest, but four of the six people in my group did. -_-'' Anyhow, it was great to see some of my buddies. Everybody's been busy with work that there's some people that I haven't seen for a while.
The actual ceremony was okay. No super long speeches. Thank goodness. By the end, everyone could tell LB was rushing to finish up because everyone was getting hungry. The food was good and there was an open bar. Everybody got a good share of food and drinks.
Being a by invitation only event, I was obviously there because I got some sort of award. As it turns out, my name appears in that program (up there) four times and I was up on stage four times. I guess I'm pretty satisfied with that. For me, the surprise was that my name had an * beside it......meaning I was/am in the top 10% of the class! That I did not expect. And in the end, working my a$$ off during the first six months of the program did somewhat pay off. Because when I opened one of the sealed envelopes, there was a cheque for $950! The only thing is that I'm not $950 richer because it's almost time to pay tuition again. =P
I'd say I enjoyed the night. Last night I was really hesitant about going, but now I'm glad I went.
And the strange and amusing things of the night........
A while ago I turned down the offer to share a house with a few friends, partly because there is one person that I don't want to live with. This person, M, is friendly and nice and all, but sometimes slightly annoying. Also, every now and then....she (who is married) puts her arm around my arm or my waist, or she holds my hand. This is (again) what happened tonight. -_-'' 講真...有時真係令我好唔自然。
Another odd person today was S. S is the girl that I suspect has a girlfriend. I don't know her too well because she's in the other class, but we chat and stuff I guess mainly because we are both part of the small canto-speaking group. When she saw me today, she came over and gave me a hug. That was strange enough. And during the ceremony, she offered to hold my cup of wine while I went up to accept my award. Just before I left my seat, she asked me if she could finish my drink. Thinking that she was joking, I said sure. And....when I got back....she really did finish my drink! WTF?!?! Sometimes I really want to ask her if she really does have a gf. Flip side....I wonder if she is suspicious about me.
Very strange night indeed.......
After the ceremony, I took a long walk on the streets before heading home....on Bloor, through the campus, etc. The weather was great and walking around downtown brought back a lot of memories......good and bad......
Overall, I enjoyed the night.....
There's just one thing that I wish could have happened.....as impossible as it may be......
Maybe next time.
