hmm...

this week in my life, things have been a bit better....on monday i received news that i won the presidency of the organization i am in....this was good news....my quiz in class that night, became open book, open notebook...this is very good news when you have not studied one bit....tuesday was also good, because there was no news....and now is wednesday....it was a quiet day at work, and we had a good safe zone training...

but let's go back a little...first, to monday night's class...so, i spent all day on sunday in bed...my young, active, social life caught up with me....i laid in my bed until 5pm...something i don't think i have done since college....one of the favorites was here too...she also stayed in bed that long....we got up, made dinner, played a few games and then went back to bed.....notice here- i did not study....i knew i had a quiz on monday night, but i did not study one bit...

i thought i would study at work- right, this has yet to work for me....so, i am not sure why i thought it would be different on this day....no studying at work...i get to class and read through my notes and figure, whatever....this is the same professor who decided on our papers to give us all full credit, no matter how we did on it...so, maybe the same luck would come to me on this night....he taught class first, quiz would be at the end...he handed out the quiz, explains it, and then announces, open book, open notebook....i breath, i think for the first time all night....

as for the win...as you know i had my thoughts about running for president...and i threw my name in the hat and amazingly my name was picked....i am still in shock about this...but first let me tell you about the phone call...

i am sitting in my office and my cell phone rings...one of my secretaries is in the office with me asking me some question about housing, that i probably don't need to answer, but i am answering anyway....i ignore the phone call...secretary leaves- i listen to the voicemail...it's the current past president saying she needs to talk to me about the election...she sounds very serious...i listen to her voicemail a few times (4 to be exact) to see if i can tell anything from her voice...i start to shake because i have decided it must be bad...after all, this past president is usually much more friendly with me...so, i have decided she has bad news and is nervous to talk to me too....

i call back...shaking like crazy....i mean, my whole body is nervous...it was crazy- i remember being this nervous when i started high school, but not really since....so, i call back...i have to tell the person (who i have decided was a student) three times my name before he got it right...then she gets on the phone...she starts by telling me she has unfortunate news for me....i feel the lump but remind myself that i will not cry until the call is done....then the words, "you will have to serve in the president cycle for the next three years." i was shocked...i am still shocked...

i have received a lot of emails since the announcement went out about my win...i appreciate all the warm, kind thoughts that have been sent to me...now, we will see how i do with all this...
