The Life of Me

So, as you may know (if you read that last entry), yesterday, I was not elected student council president. (I know, it may seem like I'm making a huge deal about it... I tend to do that... But why do I want to be on student council so bad?... I don't really know...) So, today, we elected student council officers: secretary, treasurer, and 2 liaisons. A friend of mine who had also run for student council president agreed to vote me for treasurer if I voted her for secretary. I did so (I'm pretty sure she kept her part of the deal). We elected secretary first, and she won. I was happy for her, and fairly certain that I would be elected for another position. (I didn't really care which position I got--I just wanted to be on student council. Like, really badly. Again, I don't know why... I just like stuff like that.)

So, next was treasurer. There were 3 other people running against me, I think. Naturally, I voted for myself.

OH!!! I FORGOT TO SAY: The names of each person running for each position were written on the black board. Then, each person in the class got a sheet of paper, where they wrote down the name of the person they voted for. Then, the votes were read aloud, and that person got a tally.

Anyways... So, it took a little while for my votes to start coming, but they did. For a while, it was just "Sue... Sue... Sue... Sue..." I was so happy! Then this other guy (we'll call him Gerald) started getting votes. It was pretty much between me and Gerald. It wasn't so neck-and-neck by the end, and Gerald won. I was distraught... But there were still 2 positions left: The liaisons. 

Me and 5 people ran for liaisons. Everybody could vote for 2 people. Me, a guy whose name wasn't Frank, and another guy whose name wasn't Henry were getting most of the votes. They ended up tying, and I was one point behind. ONE POINT! Fortunately, the teacher knew that I was a good student, and that I really wanted this (and that I'd probably make a better student councilman than at least one of those guys), so she had a revote between me, Frank, and Henry. So, I was pretty stressed out. I mean, I'd been the only one of us three who had bothered to run for president, and I had done so much work for that! So, of course, fate betrayed me, and they beat me by a couple of points. I was so freakin' mad! People kept coming up to me and saying, "I'm so sorry," and "It's okay." I would say "Thank you," and "I'm fine," but inside, I was like, "THAT'S NOT HELPING," and "NO, IT IS FREAKIN' (that's kind of my word) NOT OKAY!!!" So, yeah...

And then, I noticed that one of my other friends was in Scotland during the elections! So, I thought, "Hey! She'd totally vote for me! And she'd probably run for something, too, and would probably get some of Frank and Henry's votes!" But I don't really know what to do, because I feel like it wouldn't be fair to Henry and Frank to have another re-do... So confusing...
