Something I recently realized wasn’t inherently obvious in the posts—the title is actually a link to something I found interesting or in some way relevant (sometimes remotely) to the content of the post.
Today got off to a horrible start when I opened my eyes and realized I had slept through both my alarm and my class, and had just twenty minutes to get ready and be at a very important meeting concerning one of my Senate campaign issues, Food Services. To make matters worse I was supposed to take Amir’s CPS clicker to class with me so he could skip it to check our myoblast colonies for Cell Lab, so I let both of us down a participation point. I was feeling like the day was already on a crash course to be terrible but I got to talk to Rachel on my way to the meeting and she convinced me it was going to be a good day after all.
As it turns out, she was right, or maybe because of talking to her my attitude changed (more likely). The Food Services meeting went very well, and I left feeling confident that many (if not all) of the proposed changes would end up taking effect. There was a very positive environment toward change and improvements in that conference room which is exactly what somebody in my position wants to see. I’m really excited to see where this all goes in the upcoming months.
After that meeting I starting working on a more immediate project, advertising for SGA’s upcoming Prove It! initiative. We were able to get together with Cliff, one of the Marketing Interns, who offered us some excellent advice on making our campaign as appealing as possible to as many students as possible.
From there I ran (literally) to my Spanish exam, which I’d say went pretty well over all minus the fact that I had no idea what the final article was saying. I was supposed to summarize it and pretty much BS’d my way through it using phrases I was able to decipher from the text. We’ll see how much of that my teacher bought. I sure wish there had been some fill-in-the-blank questions.
All the rest of my day was spent doing SGA stuff related to either Senate or Prove It. Since I don’t have the time to come up with a good logo for it, we’re soliciting designs from some other student organizations that are replete with such “artsy folk.” They’re going to put out some pretty sweet stuff, I think, especially since we’re giving $75 to the winning entry. Nothing like cash as an incentive, right?
Finally, my best friend has finally found himself what sounds to be an excellent girl, and for that I am extraordinarily pleased. Oh, and I’ve been rocking out to the new Coheed and Cambria album, which explains the title link. And they posted the pictures from the Governor’s visit on his website.
