Your entry was one of the winners in the Randolph Stone Historical Writing Contest. Can you make it to the awards ceremony, next Wednesday, May 18, for the Undergraduate/Phi Alpha Theta reception, from 4-6 pm in the Rotunda of the new Walters Hall?

I think he would have told me if I got first place. So it's probably second or third. First prize was $100, second was $75, and third was $50. So I'm at least getting $50! Ahhhhh.
If you remember all my complaints from last quarter, the subject I wrote on was St. Thomas More and his work with the humanist educational program, with particular emphasis on the Christian/Northern humanist element. I managed to get an A on it, and my professor suggested I submit it to the faculty for the contest. Good old St. Thomas ... He was always one of my patrons, and I guess now we're better friends than ever! ;)
Felicitations, ma soeur!
ReplyDeleteMags, I'm so proud! :glomps:
ReplyDeleteDo you get a nice little printed award to hang on the wall or something fun like that?
Aaaaaaaaaaaah, Betsy, French is BAAAAAAAAAAAAD! :P
<3
so did you get first? come on, let us know!
ReplyDeleteI won't find out about which prize I got until the awards ceremony ... I guess I could e-mail and ask, but I kind of prefer the suspense, that way I won't go to the meeting in a slightly jealous mood, if I'm a third-placer, which I suspect I am.
ReplyDeleteWe could always blackmail them and make SURE you got first, lol. I mean... ;) ;) :P
