June 15

Today, I had to go back to campus for the TSA elections. I am not sure how many people would show up. We invite all of the members, but I've heard in the past usually it's just the committee and candidates voting... And that's exactly what happened. Except half the candidates aren't members, so they technically cannot vote, even for themselves. It was stressful because a lot of my friends were running, even some against each other. The whole process was pretty disorganized, but oh well. They gave mini speeches and then we voted on each position. During which, I was writing notes to Heather asking how the process would work. I've been panicked about it since my friends expect me to vote for them and I don't want to necessarily vote for them. =( We did silent ballots, but unfortunately, Heather read them right in front of everyone, whispered but everyone heard. Which was terrible, because Krysty won unanimously so it was obvious that I did not vote for my friend, Andy. He was furious and I was so embarrassed, I could barely even look at him! Then my friend, Christian won and Hans... Then Secretary had no contenders, so I made a small speech about how important the role is. One girl (who we were secretly hoping would run) decided to join and Andy, despite friends pushing him, said no. So, she won. Yay. I was very happy with the results and thought that the best people won. But I was very afraid that Andy would be so upset he would never speak to me again.

I rode the bus home with Christian and discussed a bit with him, mostly about the program and our disappointments. I told him I would be moving away next semester... Then I went to the store in Rosalie on my way home to pick up a couple groceries and walked home. Luckily Andy did text me, which means he was mad, but will get over it. He said some immature stuff, but whatever. As long as he's not going to ignore me for the rest of the year.

I spent the rest of the afternoon conducting business for TSA - sending emails announcing the winners, congratulating the winners, condolences to the losers, etc... With the rest of the evening, I read a bunch of journal articles for the paper I have to write, and talked to my boyfriend before sleep.
