On the Campaign Trail '06

Today officially began campaigning for the SAA positions for 2006 - including campaigning for Marketing and Promotions Co-ordinator, for which I am running.

After getting signatures from 51 students, a co-ordinator, three faculty members, a Vice-President and a President, I now have a week to campaign against my opponent, who's name has slipped my mind.

So far, I have made four campaign posters, none of which have a picture of me on them (nor do they have anyone with their mouths agape). Instead, I have chosen to go the obvious, pop culture-y, dork route and make a clever play on my last name.

So, I have chosen the following four people/animals to represent me:



Yes. I went there.

So, on January 19th, vote for me for Marketing and Promotions Co-ordinator for the SAA.

*sigh*

I am a collectibles whore.

In about 15 minutes, I spent $60 on hockey cards. I would have spent more if they took Mastercard.

13½-hour days are not the worst things ever

After working for 13½ hours for the second day in a row and thinking that my night could really not get any worse, the following happened, in very short succession:

1. Went to the SAC office, picked up January's copy of the Georgian Eye, and saw my most recent story, in a two-page (well, one-and-a-half-page) spread that includes five pictures
2. Picked up a message from my dad saying that the season premiere of Scrubs was on, and there were in fact two new episodes
3. Got a call from Carley (whom I informed about Scrubs, for which I think she was quite happy), and we were able to catch up and will hopefully get together sometime next week

Also, the following day I got the application package for the Marketing and Promotions Co-Ordinator for the SAA. So, despite having now worked 54 hours in the past four days, this week has actually turned out quite alright.

New Year's Fortune

I've been told I'm not actually charming, but you're damn skippy I'm courteous!

More to follow, happy new year!
