I've won an award.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I just got a letter telling me that I've been picked as the "English* Student of the Year for 2005" for the college I was at last year! Apparently I get a £100 cheque, an engraved medal, and my name goes onto some trophy that'll be displayed in the college. This is the first time they've done these awards too, so my name will be the first on there. :cool

*English as in English Literature, obviously ;)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

That's pretty darn cool, gal. Congratulations :)

[Darth McBain]

Well, the check, medal, and trophy are all nice, but admit it, you were hoping for a leg-lamp, complete with fishnet stocking... :) I mean, for a major award, it's the least they could send...

:lol - seriously, congrats...

[Lilaena De'Ville]

For a minute I thought that you were the Student of the Year for all of Britain!!!

Congrats on the award - £100 checks are great to get right before Christmas. :D

[Dasquian Belargic]

I am very much strapped for cash at the minute, so the money will certainly be appreciated! :D There is a free buffet on at the ceremony too, apparently. Freebies all-round, woo!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Nice! Nothing says student of the year like giving them free food. ;)

[Khendon Sevon]

lol, awesome :) congrats.

[Lady Vader]

waHEY!!! Congrats!!! Stuff thine pockets with freebies!! :D

[Zereth Lancer]

Congrats girly!!! Don't eat too much!

[Sam]

Remember: there's no shame in walking out with your purse and pockets stuffed with steaks and rolls.

[Crystal]

That's awsome. Good job, jenny. You should take a picture of the medal to show us when you get it. :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

I want a picture of my name on that trophy, as well! Like it's the Quidditch cup or something :mischief

[Shawn]

Can I borrow £50?

[Sudoku]

Congrats Jenneh :hug

[Zereth Lancer]

Don't spend it all in one place :)

[Droo]

Congratulations! That's really impressive. I think I'll start calling you Bronte from now on. :)

Booya.

[Khendon Sevon]

Ooooo, it's so spiffy :)

I only got a lil piece of paper for my high school's '05 literary award, medals look much, much cooler.

Congrats, again :)

Oh man. They have these at Suncoast. I want one of those so badly!

[Zereth Lancer]

Yes, as Khendon said, it is very spiffy. What does it say at the top? All I can make out is your name.

Is it heavy with accomplishment?

Is it real gold?

How much is it worth at the 'ol pawn shop and/or ebay?

[Dasquian Belargic]

It says "Tyne Metropolitan College Academy Award for English 2005".

I'm not sure it has anything more than sentimental value. I have the £100 cheque though, so it's all good!

[Droo]

I want a double barrelled surname like yours. You have to be famous with a name like that! Like Helena Bonham-Carter. :love

[Dasquian Belargic]

Ha :) I might have to change my first name though, make it sound a bit more posh!

[Droo]

Jennetha!
