amelia and glorious -- if either of you hear about the novel writing category, please post because I also entered and am waiting patiently. Somebody else on this forum said that they were called on May 1st (I think?) so maybe we don't have much longer to wait! EEK!
yeah, i was called in the first week of may last year about the novel writing category. i didn't receive anything in the mail until the 2nd or 3rd week of may though.
Notifications in Arcadia! ACK! I hate the mailman...he never wants to do my route so we have all these random mailmen that cover for him. Grrrrr. I can only anxiously hope that somehow this will get settled.
lol...that's better than having your neighbor deliver your sister's rejection letter from Princeton (before email) cause the mailman (again) put it in the wrong box.
Well, the first week of May is over, and still no word. I wouldn't lose hope, though . . . they seem to be very far behind with the notifications this year, maybe even more so than usual.
Thanks amelia, but it just seems like I lost. I can be gracefully about it and say that it happens to everyone at some point. I'm not worried, my portfolio is going to kick *** next year.
Thanks for the support everyone, someone should tell Scholastic what a migraine this is.
Sorry if I was unclear -- I was discussing the novel award when I mentioned not losing hope. It operates differently from nationals or region-at-large regional notifications, so it's not quite as clear-cut when you'll be notified. Again, apologies for the confusion, and sorry to all those who haven't been notified for RAL and regular nationals. Better luck next year!
