Rock the Vote

I tried to keep myself busy today, I spent all morning packing for a weekend conference at McMaster for the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance and braced myself for an eventful evening:

4:00pm - Class Presentation worth 25% of my mark
6:00pm - Sang "I Believe" at the Organization of Part-time Students (OPUS) Awards
7:00pm - Met with the Chief Returning Officer about the evenings electoral result proceedings
7:30pm - Attended the Evening with Elizabeth May which the UWSA sponsored (she was great!)
8:00pm - Gave a speech on Racism in the CAW for a Human Rights antiracist Journal launch
9:00pm - Awarded the winners of the Men and Women's Pentathlon - GO JAMIE! GO LANCERS!

and now... I wait.

Who will carry the torch that is the advocacy - representation - services duties of the UWSA?

.... only time will tell.

Knock, knock, knock...

The sound of presidential hopefuls knocking on my door for advice as they prepare their campaigns.  I won't name names, it will be their jobs to announce their candidacy whenever they are ready but I'll say this: it will be an interesting race.  

It's a scary thought that in a few months I will be done here and someone else will be taking my favourite job... but it's going to happen.  

Regardless of who is currently planning on running, I still have a job to do.  I have four months to complete the goals I set back in May of '08.  Hopefully I can stay on top of my game and go out with a bang.  

I'm rejuvenated and ready for '09.

OH! And Happy New Year!
