Final Presentation

It's 2:00 am right now...I really should go to bed but I think I will quickly summarize what happened tonight - the Final Presentation

Anyways for that, everyone invited their work partners, their billeting families, and/or anyone they made a connection in town. I invited Ed Ritchie and his wife, the Sisters, plus Sally Hagman and Betty Ann, but Betty Ann couldn't come because of vacation. Our final presentation was held in the marina, and around 30 people showed up for a potluck (I made chicken corn soup/hot and sour soup/stir-fried rice with Stephanie). Things went well, I sat with the Sisters and Ed and his wife. Everyone chatted. Then we had the slideshow presentation, but due to technical difficulties it cannot project onto the screen. So instead everyone had to crowd around Maxime's laptop...quite interesting.

After that, we performed our song, which was pretty much the same one Emilie and Stephen wrote for the talent show, with minor adjustments. That was fun. Then Emilie pulled a surprise on us and performed a song for us (the Katimavik group). When that was done, Maxime and Cheryl got teary (Maxime was worse though) and that was pretty much the presentation. People mingled and socialized, while others started leaving and we started washing dishes (to save the environment, we decided to use our dishes instead). By 8 something everyone started leaving, and the gang (Emilie/Rebecca/Charles) started goofing around and having a cake fight. Then we cleaned up the mess.

Overall the night went really well, and it kind of "bonded" us once again...everyone having a good time.

I really want to write the blog I have in mind, but I will stop now...good night

My shortest blog yet eh?
