Ah, it was that time of year. Awards season takes place in April here at BCCSC...a little strange, since the students are finished in July, but oh well :)

Dad asked me months ago to design new awards certificates, which I did...then I was asked to change them not once, not twice, but six times! Arrggghhhh! A wee bit frustrating, especially since the last change was requested the day of the banquet!

Anyway, being the perfectionist people pleaser that I am, I smiled & said "sure! no problem!", then spent almost all day Thursday formatting & printing the silly things for that night. Eighty-four certificates had to be reformatted, printed, cut, sealed, stamped & signed by Dad and Andy. Blah!

After the stamping part (it exhausted my arms to press each certificate with the school seal), I crawled under my desk & took a quick nap...while I was there, I took a picture of Mike working at his desk :)



At the short but sweet banquet, we had a great meal prepared by the cafeteria staff (some of them have trained with professional chefs in Beijing), the students received their prizes, and I even got to present the International Award in English to one of my Korean students :) It was nice to see all the proud students with their big smiles!
