I made the front page of the Daily Bruin… what a surprise.

Last year’s elections process was about ten times more stressful than this process. I suppose it was because all four positions were contested, and there was personal beef between candidates. That wasn’t necessarily absent this year, but there was only one contested position and I knew I’d be re-elected a few hours after I submitted my petition for candidacy.

I’m glad my friend, Monica, won the presidency. I got to know her last spring and then a lot more this year. She’s also in education and we’ve had a class together all year. The other two students who won, Mac and Janet, were people I’ve been getting to know in the past year or so. I’ve worked with Mac all year and haven’t always agreed with him, but that’s to be expected.

Here’s to another year of travelling all over California for meetings, working with some great graduate students, and just plain being busy.
