The hardest day of the trip. Knowing its all done as you tare the things off your board......thats exactly how I felt.
Everyones falling asleep, talking quietly about the awards and taking lots of pictures. Thats what it was like today. Saying good bye to friends......getting everyones MSN's........taking a deep breath and pulling the poasters off your board. It feels like your taring a little peice of your heart out. And yea I know it sounds stupid but when you get to go this far with a project you get attached to it. So when it comes to an end it gets pretty hard.
The day started off with me waking up pretty early. I had nothing to do so I called my parents!:P I got ready and we went to breakfast and one again had caned fruit! From there we all walked to the exibit hall for public viewing. It was pretty fun because I got to talk to a bunch of the delagates fron Quebec! It was really good pratice speaking french because I haden't done a lot of it because I presented my project in english. At 12 they let us go to lunch. We all left knowing that when we came back we would be taking our projects down. We had lunch wich I had no idea what it was nor do I remember. We all set out to take out projects down at the exibit hall. We got to the exibit hall I took one last picture, one deep breath and pulled of the question and then pulled everything else off. It took all of 15 minutes to get the stuff off. After leaving the exibit hall for the last time we all went back to the dorm to get ready to go the the imax movie and just hang out. After 2 and a half hours later we met for supper at the manitoba as every other night. We had another grose meal and then headed for the bus stop to catch a bus to the imax theater. We watched a movie about the counry Grese and then one called "under the sea". And nuturally I sang the song "under the sea"!:P In all that night I ate 1 small bag of popcorn, natchos, a king size aero bar, a slushie and a big bag of fuzzy peaches! (Can you belive I ate all that? Well i did!) After the movies we had to take a creepy bus ride back to the U of M with people on drugs and stuff in was kind of scarry!
We got back took some team N.B. pictures and then headed for bed.
It was a very emontinal day but fun!

Hi Hannah,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your award! And your writing - that piece above about taking your posters off your board - well, I can really feel your emotion. Whatever makes you think it's the end? Your project is so practical, makes so much sense. I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen next with it. And as for you, all those wonderful ideas dancing around in your head, it will be interesting to watch what happens with you but you have also accomplished so much already...so congratulations all round :-)
