Buenos Noches Internets!!!
I assume you're all sitting on the edge of your chairs waiting for an update. It has been a whirlwind of activity over here at Tiny Christian University. Yours truly has been campaigning like a madwoman since Monday.
That's right gentle readers....Rock the Vote 2007!! This Sassie Cassie Blaine is running for Student Body Vice President!!! Wahoo! My Presidential running mate and I have been enduring an intense schedule this week.
Monday: Gathered supplies for posters, balloons, mailbox stuffers, cookie frosting, debate materials, and the Rally.
Tuesday: Papered the Campus, Round #1. Posters focused on getting our faces and slogan in front of students' faces.
Wednesday: Frosted 380 cookies with our campaign colors (red/white/blue) in the dining hall to hand out to students.
Thursday: Stuffed 974 mailboxes with little cards displaying our emblem and slogan, "If you want a voice, make the SMART choice!" (We attached Smartees candies to each card.) AND Paper the Campus, Round #2. These posters focused on when students could vote and our campaign platform: "SGA [Student Government Association] should empower students to impact change, by creating relationships with administration, enabling communication, and strengthening Christian community on this campus." (Pretty good, eh?? The Debate is where we will unpack those three main ideas and explain what each looks like.)
Friday: Handing out red/blue balloons in the academic building. (Did you know it's like eleventy billion dollars to rent two helium tanks?!?!?)
Saturday: Debate prep ALL DAY!! Paper the Campus, Round #3. These posters will focus on when the Debate and elections are taking place.
Sunday: Debates start promptly at 9pm. (Personally I feel most solid about this. The Pres and I are pumped for Sunday! We feel we have the strongest, most thought-out platform of all three tickets running.)
Monday: Elections starting at 7 AM and going until 7 PM. I'm so sorry, but they don't take votes via email. They have this pesky rule about all voters needing to be current Tiny Christian University students!!!! Totally lame. Trust me....I was ready to have SMF stack the votes. He's totally charming, female election judges would be putty in his hands. (Hey! Don't give me that look. This is politics....not church!!!)
Tuesday: Throw a party or cry.
WHEW!!!!
Needless to say, trying to maintain this break neck pace has nearly killed me. Classes have been a blur and I'm not gonna say the s-word, but I think I'm getting s-ck!!! (Shhhhh. Don't tell my body, I'm gonna keep it a secret until Tuesday when I can finally crawl in bed and die!) My throat feels like it's going to jump out and bite me, suite mates are frying eggs on my forehead, and baseball players are using my glands for batting practice. But I'm not S-ICK!!!!! I'm not! I'm not! I'm not! SHHHHHHH. Don't say it.

Good luck with the campaign! Drink orange juice! Drink water! Get some mentholatum! (I do this annoying mom mode thing with everyone I like, it's normal).

Hey, Baby! I'm sorry I've been away - between the end of term, my recent trip, and re-acclimating to Eastern time, I've not had a whole lot of spare blogging time. I'm happy to be reading again, though.
WOO HOO! Good luck with the elections. Do try to let us know the results before you fall into bed and hibernate until you feel better again, okay? And Polliwog's advice is good - add some Airborne (or, at the very least, zinc and vitamin C drops) to her prescription and we'll be hoping for the best for you!
love!

I can't wait to hear how the vote went!! Let me know if it's a tie and you need a tie-breaker, I'll fly in tomorrow and register.
:)
Okay, so, it's Tuesday night. Is there partying going on over at Cassie's place, or is there much wailing and gnashing of teeth?
