...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.
