Scholastic Art and Writing Awards 2009

<p>Certainly.</p>

<p>Screw Cheese Nips.</p>

<p>Nope, not a peep from Scholastic. I’m guessing cause it’s not a work day.</p>

<p>…i want some cheez-its >:</p>

<p>I wish scholastic would hurry up and post/call/email someone so I can finally breathe with relief!</p>

<p>I know! I’m dying to find out, even if finding out means coming to terms with the fact that I didn’t win anything this year. And I’m totally picking sour cream & onion Lays for my waiting snack.</p>

<p>Ok, just to set the record straight, I didn’t write about the joys of running which to some would be considered boring, but rather about 5 young women competing to become America’s next Olympians on the National Women’s Gymnastics Team, contenders for the gold. I know folks will be down on me, but I feel that scholastic needs to do a better job with their dates and notification. Don’t keep us all hanging scholastic…</p>

<p>schoolwannabe, I was only down because you kept saying the winners were already notified, which, agk, wrings my stomach out. It was nothing about you complaining about Scholastic; I’m complaining about it too!</p>

<p>so after the scholastic art and writing awards, i’m now surprised when i receive notifications for stuff.</p>

<p>Here we go, it’s a business day… Maybe they’ll at least answer the email since they’ll likely be in the office.</p>

<p>God, I just want to know so I can move on with my life. </p>

<p>And wannabe: You can read the past winner’s excerpts and summaries now on the PUSH website. Neither are angsty or whatever. I don’t think it’s a close-minded competition, I think it’s a really wonderful opportunity that they’ve given aspiring writers. At the very least they got a bunch of high school kids to stretch themselves and write fifty pages. And we don’t even have to pay a fee. So really we should all be a little more grateful, and a little less bitter.</p>

<p>Oh, and the titles are “Hail Caesar” and “Magic City”.</p>

<p>i just called them and winners hear back this week</p>

<p>Did they say how they’ll hear back?</p>

<p>The final week…ah!</p>

<p>Phone? Email? Snail Mail? There are going to be a lot of people running to check the mailbox…</p>

<p>So I called them too to get things cleared up.</p>

<p>It’s through email. The winners will not be posted on thisispush.</p>

<p>Will they ever be posted then? By Scholastic, at least? Or shall we remain in the fog about who has won? (unless it’s one of us, of course)</p>

<p>Lies. All lies. The contest does not exist. It never did! </p>

<p>Come on, sheeple! Wake up and smell the conspiracy!</p>

<p>Yes, if it isn’t one of us, we’re otherwise not in the know. But, honestly, I don’t care; I’m in this for the most selfish intentions: if I don’t win anything, I don’t care who does. Mwahahaha.</p>

<p>No, I’m joking. I’ll congratulate any of youse who may winsies.</p>

<p>HOPE IS NOT LOST! <em>does a happy dance</em> I’ll admit it. I just assumed they’d already chosen the winners, but apparently they HAVEN’T, hence the happy dance. It was an awesome dance, I hope you know. It had the Numa-Numa guy beat. Make sure to post on here if you win! So I can properly hate, um, congratulate you!</p>

<p>I kind of don’t like that they’re not posting the winners on the website. And that it’s taken like three weeks longer than normal.</p>

<p>You’ve even got me doing the happy dance now.
This is what I wanted to post earlier:
My cell phone doesn’t ring. My IM doesn’t bling. My email won’t sing. I’m all alone with my needling thoughts reverberating in my ears like the relentless downpour drumming overhead on my skylight.<br>
But as it turns out, I’m not alone…I’m sitting here with all of you.
BTW, I’m only a middle schooler so I’m too young to be bitter. I still have 5 more shots at this…</p>

<p>You will only have to wait for your email…we all wait for that fateful email…but very poetic sentance </p>

<p>Middle School? Lucky duck you are. This is/was the only year for me (senior)</p>

<p>Oy vey, this seems pretty badly organized. =P I was hoping for a winners’ list, too, but hey! Take what you can get, right? (:</p>

<p>Seriously though, if anyone wins, be sure to post. I await any results with bated breath.</p>
