Of exhibitions and closing ceremonies

After writing, reading, and correcting their artist statements, everyone picked 5 images to put in the exhibition. They looked at all 40 images, changed a few, then changed them back, and everyone was satisfied.

The students mounted their exhibition on the last morning, and we assembled at 1 pm for an agenda of 9 items:  speeches, songs, awarding of certificates, gift exchanges, and Coke, fruit, and cookies.  We were happy/sad; happy and proud of their work, but sad to say good bye, although we'll be able to stay in touch because they are here in Mae Sot.

Masking tape is a wonderful thing...
Is it straight?
