Thoroughly shocked.  Three awards, three awards are staring me in the face:

• ND2 Design Crafts
• The Jewellery Quarter Assoc. Prize for Craftsmanship
• Weston Beamor prize for casting

Read on to know the nitty gritty detail.

As my previous post mentioned (referring to I Won, I Won) I had to call the office lady to say that I was going.  I was told I won an award the awards ceremony would start at 8pm (mAward y mum was told the same time on Wednesday).

After work I got ready and actually made the effort (less than 24 hours notice didn’t give me much to work with, I lack formal clothing…), I wore a dress *shockhorror shockhorror*.  Yes, that’show rare it is to see me in one.  :D  My whole family came which was great, and the first!  We arrived a few of minutes earlier only to find that the doors were closed.  That could only mean on thing…the ceremony had started.  I didn’t want to go in because it’s hugely disrepectful to turn up late and interrupt.  We went into anyway and caught the very end of the show; the end speech.  My tutor came up to me at the end and told me it started at 7pm.  I could only stand at the back of the church embarassed and apologetically.  I couldn’t believe I had turned up nearly an hour late.  I don’t know how many times I apologised that night but I was thoroughly annoyed with myself.  I was introduced to…I’d know if I was actually there…I think, the people who gave out the awards.  Did the firm handshake.  My tutor then passed me my envelopes.  I stood there completely amazed.  My mum had told me I won two but I specifically heard “an” in the phone call so to win three was just surreal.

Later on I was introduced to…Weston Beamor representitive?  I’m failing to remember.  The pictures were taken and I saw Bobby (classmate).  Congratulations to him for winning the Sutton’s Award!  His work is very unique.  Congratulations to Chloe (classmate) for her award also, I would have gone to speak to her but I have to work today so I couldn’t stay long - not that I did anyway. 

That’s all for now.  I’ll probably post a picture of my dress after work, I’ve got to shoot off now.  Have a nice day!
