Annamarie, I second that problem; a GOOD NUMBER of my last minute votes came from the teachers (who voted at school, for convenience, y'know?), and the new blocking rule is going to hurt a LOT...I think I may have gotten at least 100 votes from school teachers alone.

And Annamarie, some excellent posts you have here...good luck in the competition!

Hello to anyone who happens to read this :P

Sorry I haven't been on, but I sort of forgot how BUSY the real world can get! So, congrats to Justin for beating me in the sweet sixteen, congrats to everyone who has moved on, and a special congrats to the FINAL TWO in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!! Good luck to both Lauren and Elias, I have worked with both of you before and you are both awesome and deserving. Elias, however, we have been working together quite a bit longer, so my support goes to you. Go Elias!

Good luck everyone, and, maybe, you will hear from Twilight girl again next year. Z-mail me if you want to chat, or dweeb me if you want to keep in contact. See ya all, and remember that no matter where you ended up, KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!

Thank you, and good night. :P

Please vote Lauren. She's the better candidate!

Sorry David, but I back Elias. Both candidates deserve this scholarship, but I have always backed Elias and will continue to back Elias. Two hours left! Go Elias!

~Twilight Girl, hopefully signing off for real this time ;) Until next year...
