…and they said that they weren’t checkin’ for The Kid. The results of the Student Association Presidential election came out today and my running mate and I didn’t come out on top. The group who won were highly qualified , so I can’t be salty about the result and they’ll likely do a good job. At first, I was upset because I’d talked to several people last night who said that they had no clue that they had to revote and others who didn’t know that they had to specify a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place team on the revote ballot (if not, the ballot would be invalid). I thought that these folks had been disenfranchised and I was fighting mad because I thought the system had let my running mate and I down. But, after doing some research today, I found that everything in the election was kosher and the other folks won fair and square.
Looking back, I think my running mate and I could have done more to campaign and there were other some reputation issues that I didn’t anticipate which likely hurt us. People have been checking on me all day to see how I’m doing, but, surprisingly, I feel totally fine. For the past week or so, I had been wondering whether I wanted to really take on all f the extra work that the position would entail and now the people made that choice for me. I’m just going to look at it as God’s way of telling me that I need to focus on school and getting an internship next quarter.
Never mind – there are bigger elections to win – the next one comes in 2008…and there’s lot of time gear up for that.
Cheers

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for the love, FG, but I won’t be old enough to run for the biggest Presidential race in 2008…I’ll have to wait until 2012 for that
On to greater things my son … it’s not always the winning of the “human” race that counts, it’s having the will to try when others dare to do it. Proud of you … you’re a winner already in my book. Anybody question that … tell them to see your momma! Love ya! Keep smiling.
