Award Ceremonies: The Good, The Bad, And The Just Plain Boring

Award Ceremonies, they are designed to give people of all ages satisfaction in themselves for achieving a variety of goals. The variety of ceremonies is large and they can differ in excitement levels. Last weekend it seemed there was two ceremonies going on in my world although I was only invited to one.

To overgeneralize things I can start off by telling you that all award ceremonies are boring, whether or not you are receiving an award at them at all. Especially when over 100 other people are getting the same award.

In my ceremony we were recognized for earning the Canada Cord in Girl Guiding, there was also some adult awards and some Commissioner's Gold award for Rangers. We had to line up in alphabetical order to walk in and sit behind our families. I was number 20 out of 114, we sat in the backish of the auditorium.

We also had special cards prepared that had our favorite guiding moments on them. So imagine over 100 girls walking up to a microphone and telling us their favorite moment. It's interesting at first, but then it gets just plain boring. It was fun to get a certificate and stand up in front of all those people, even if it scared me to death.

If you didn't know, I don't like public speaking. At all. So I enjoyed it but was scared to death at the same time.

All in all the things to remember about award ceremonies are that you're supposed to enjoy them. So if you have a ceremony coming up be sure to have fun and be proud.

A Brand New Project

Hello everyone,

I wanted to apologize for my depressed post from before, my birthday turned out to be pretty great actually. A lot of people wished me happy birthday on facebook and in real life. I got some great gifts and celebrated my day pretty well.

Now I'm pretty excited to share with you the news of a new project I'm working on with two of my friends. It's a blog called http://twogeeksandanotaku.blogspot.com/ and the three of us will be posting stuff on a weekly basis. Everything from reviews, opinions, discussions, and experiences is what you'll find. Right now we're in our beginning stages and only one post has been made but it will be growing.

*shameless promotion done*

Tomorrow I get to go to a girl guiding awards ceremony because last year I received the Canada Cord. Which is an award you can get in pathfinders by completing various requirements and challenges. So I'm pretty excited about that.

School is going well, especially on my birthday. So I'll write to you later!

My Birthday

Hello all,

Yes it's that time of year again, my birthday. It's tomorrow (the 21st) for your records. I don't really know how to feel about it because it seems so unimportant to me. I've been lying that I'm 15 since the summer and now I will be. It's not like it makes a difference anyways, I have the maturity level of someone more than two years older than me anyways.

Some people know it's my birthday, mostly my friends and some people who have been in my class for years. If someone wishes me happy birthday who isn't in those categories I assume they got the reminder on Facebook. Therefore it is invalid.

Sorry if I seem so negative right now, I can't really pen the reason why I'm feeling this way. I just need to let things out I guess. But tomorrow I get a bunch of people saying Happy Birthday! And actually acknowledging me for once.

Anyways I'd like to say hello to the people who have been reading me! And thanks to I Love Reading And Writing for linking them to me!

:)
