Sorry I’m not leaving notes. I can’t stay on-line for long. I just wanted to tell you about my week.
Sunday: watched Wrestlemania.
Monday: tried to recover from watching Wrestlemania.
Tuesday: candidate question time in the Union. Questions included “Give us a line from Star Wars” and “write a limerick promoting yourself”. Got pissed afterwards.
Wednesday: became first ever societies editor of the union magazine. Question time again. Asked what I would steal from the Union if the world was going to end tomorrow. Said enough lager to render a large elephant unconcious. Had to sing a song. Sang The Time Warp. Took the house down. Sang it again at karaoke that night. Had backing dancers this time. Similar response.
Thursday: got to the Union at 9am. Started handing out flyers. Agreed with the other person to campaign for votes for both of us. This included him handing out fliers for me. Which I’m sure confused voters.
In this election sanity did not stand a chance. One candidate decorated her car. Another had his own chant. His campaign team had “Thirst Aid” hat’s. People being demanded to show their NUS cards to prove they voted. One candidates supporter saying that if his friend got in he would lose his anal virginity. The chant “What do we want? Kylie Minogue. When do we want her? As often as possible and twice on Tuesdays!” A green one-eyed monster.
8:30. Polls close. I’m physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually drained. Find out that this election was the first in Teesside history to have more than 1000 votes cast. Which I’m proud of. The results for my position are announced. Craig and I beat Re-Open Nominations.
As from 8th April 2002 I am a part-time executive officer for the University of Teesside Students Union.
Stayed for the rest of the vote. Congratulated the winners/said hard luck to the losers. I hated the fact that the whole thing was so damn friendly.
Today: came back to Aberdeen for the holidays.
And now I’ve seen it on the screen it’s finally sunk in.
I’m part-time exec. Me.
OH MY FUCKING GOD!
Will
