was it a prize for your stability?

Good one. I laughed. Seriously.

D: that's sad. sorry op. qq

Just think, several of those students will see you again next fall. ;)

It happens, people find it more amusing when people embarrass themselves than when they are rewarded for something.

qq?

Should be QQ and it's crying eyes.

Breaking a fall deserves a clap haha

People just like to see other people fall. It's a fact of life.

It's not very likely, but what if it was a sympathy clap?

Maybe you made an amazing acrobatic maneuver to save your price? Ha but hey look on the bright side you won a prize that seems worthy!!

Considering you were walking off of the stage, the applause was most likely not for your fall, but rather your award. I think you're making it out to be worse than it was, I'm sure you're the only one that actually cared/really noticed. :)

Not to be creepy or anything (which almost always guarantees something creepy) but I seriously love you for your profile picture. Seriously. ... ... Seriously.

Actually, all 600 people probably noticed, and they were probably all sarcastically clapping for OP louder than for the award, but that's life.

Well that just says "we love you."

We love you so trip and amuse me?

Just think, several of those students will see you again next fall. ;)

That's funny! Honestly, you're tripping out over nothing!

Maybe people were just falling over laughing! Wow that was shit..

Look on the bright side, you have a prize and they don't. :P And you didn't fall flat on your face. Bonus!

LOOOL. grad? Possibly. At least you got the prize o.o
