Been a while...

For those of you who don't go to uni with me, i'm standing for a union sabbatical position in the Union elections in about a fortnight...

I'm going for Vice President Education and Representation (VP Ed for short - thank goodness!), which is more or less the students' representative to the universtiy bigwigs on all matters academic. It's a full time job for a year, starting 1st July. Pretty heavy stuff it would seem. But rewarding to actually see things done which have been frustrating me and my coursemates for the last 3 years!

There are three other guys going for the post, and all four of us seem well qualified and motivated for this job. i don't envy the voters!

anyway, i spend my time roughly divided between fear that i won't get elected and fear that i will! Jokes... actually im really excited about the whole thing - to be honest, even if i don't get it, it'll still be a quality experience running for it. not that i'd tell the voters that - i'm fighting to win!!

Anyway, apologies if my blog is a little thin over the next 2 weeks or so, but i have to be busy thinking of how to sound intelligent enough to run the academic side of the union.

laters!
