I Won?
Today I gave a presentation at the Graduate Student Symposium at Utah State University. My presentation deals with the photographs that Ansel Adams and Toyo Miyatake took of Japanese Americans in the Manzanar Incarceration Camp during World War II. I thought that my paper was pretty good, but I had no idea that I even had a chance of winning. There were twenty other presenters from my college, and I thought some of their presentations were very good. I hoped I would win, but when they read other names for the second and third prizes I was sure I was out of the running. Then I heard my name as the winner and was extremely shocked. I won $150 for just reading a paper I had already written. Go figure. So here's to unexpected victories in unexpected places.
