$100 is indeed better than … zilch. Glad to see you being happy with it. Whenever I see a title ‘Lazy Sunday’, I always grab back to that Kristofferson’ classic Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down. Don’t know why. Guess I’m getting old… Good blog, btw, Steph!

[...] not exactly sure what is wanted from the blogs. Thus I tend to have to somewhat agree with Stephanie Collin’s when she says, “A lot of people have come to me about the “unfairness” of [...]

Sorry Brandon – that’s a state secret, you’re not cleared for that information!

Actually, I try not to talk much about my job(s) on this blog – trying to maintain some distance between my work life and my personal life. But I can tell you that my job consists of doing various tasks behind-the-scenes for a website.

Think of it like this: if my job were on a film set, I would have the title of production assistant. People come up with tasks for me, and I go do them.

Ok now I am intrigued, what exactly do you do? Is it posted on here somewhere?

Congrats on being in the top ten. An internet poll might not be the best mode for a contest, but it strikes me as appropriate for a blogger award. And, hey, I’m impressed at the $100. I’m a 32-year-old working girl with an average salary, and I’m still happy when i win $5 prizes. Anything I didn’t have before is a prize to me–but I was born with a “silver lining” personality!

Thanks Stephanie! I’ve gotten some of the same kind of comments about the unfairness of an internet voting poll, as well. And I have to agree that it does seem crazy to award that much money to someone based on an internet vote! I don’t know if there’s a better way to do it other than just having the CollegeScholarships.org staff/board/owners choose, but I imagine there would accusations of unfairness no matter what method they used.

Anyway, I think you have a great blog and hope that you’ll submit it again next year for the contest! Best of luck to you!
