merchimerchDark chocolate twix bars are so yummy!
So apparently I won top prize at the conference. They apparnetly have a conference paper competition and the chairs of all the panels get together and give first, second, and third for Music, Art, and Theater and TV studies papers. I feel rather embarrassed about all of this - I really think they only gave it to me because I gave my paper in Uzbek, not Russian, and I had a snazzy powerpoint presentation which they asked me to create. At the final gathering they talked about me and my paper way too much and said that my paper was an example as the "global standard" for conference papers, which I'm not comfiortable with, then named my paper first of all the music papers and gave me a box of water glasses and a pitcher with purple flowers on it as a prize. It was all quite surreal, though I will put the water glasses to good use.
After the way my paper went over so stranglely yesterday this is just odd.
