May 15th - The Awards Ceremony/ closing banquet/ dance!

WOW! What a crazy day! School tours, getting ready in 30 minutes, awards ceremony, closing banquet, DANCE!!!!!!



My day started off with getting ready for the school tours (wich are a complete waste of time because the kids don't understand what your talking about) at the exibition hall. But first we had breakfast! YAY!!!! (NOT!!!!) Then it was off to The Max Bell Center (the exibition hall) for the school tours. At 11:30 they let us go. We had to be back there to catch the bus for the hotel at 12:30 but before that we had to change AND eat lunch! So we took our boxed lunches and went to our rooms to get ready. I wore my black dress thats compleatly sparkles! (I wore it on the empty stocking fund.) So I got myself ready and then we were off. When we arrived at the Canadian polo park inn we went into the big dinning room wich was set up like we were at an awards show with a red carpet! It was very very cool! It wasen't very long before they started handing out the awards. They started off with the special awards. Then they told us that they would be handing ou the "Pertro Canada peer Inovation Award". Our master of cermonies anonced how this award was chosen. The projects are picked by the other students in their region in Canada and in their devision (junior, ect.) "For the alantic region in junior,...... Hannah Wallace!" ME! Wow I was picked out of all the projects in alantic Canada in grade 7 or 8!!!!!! Winning this award means that I get 200$! I wasen't expecting to get anything! The projects are so good and I thaught that just being there and seeing all of this was award enough but aparently it wasen't!:P The awards continued New Brunswick in total got 2 bronze meddles, 1 honorable mention and I belive 3 special awards! For being one of the smallest delagations we did pretty well! The awards cermony finished off with the gold meddle winners (who each got 1 500$ and a full schlorship to one university in Canada) then the 3 planinum award winners (one from junior, intermediate and senior) The projects that won that are amazing! Then there is the "best in fair" award that went to the guy who won the platimun award for senior. He invented a new wheelchair! Once the awards were finished we all went to a different room to watch some dancers who were wicked amazing! Then we went back to the dinning room wich had been compleatly transformed back to a dinning room. We had THE BEST supper EVER! We had salad, carotts, green beans, BEAUTIFUL chicken and white and milk chocolate mosse! The mosse was the best part!:P After supper all the finalists went to the "dance room" for you guessed it the dance!:P It was honostly THE best dance i have ever been to! Everyone hung out together in one big group, the music was amazing (it was so loud that the next morning my ears were still ringing!:P), there was free pop and chips and stuff and plus it was in a real dance club! But I missed everyone soo much they played all the songs that we all like in Saint John! At 11:15 I left the dance with the team from victoria because the rest of team N.B. had left earlier. So I got off the bus at our dorm just as people were comming out in their pj's because someone had pulled the fire alarm! It was pretty funny everyone in their pj's and me in my dress!:P But it was all ok in the end!

A hectic day with a happy ending!
