call me madam president

soo tonight is the first hall council meeting of the spring semester. i am, of course, the president of my dorm. its an awesome position to hold because basically i control everything. if we want to make a decision i get to be the one who says "all in favor?" and "meeting adjourned" and "motion to select____" and other cool presidential catch phrases like that. we get to do community service (a lovely addition to any resume) and cool activities for little siblings weekend. i soooo wish my bf's little cousins could come, the 3 of them would have a blastt! last year we did face painting and cookie decorating (i was VP) and this year its better. we are doing an egg toss aka you have to design some way for your raw egg to be dropped form 2 stories (into a trahs can) and not have it crack. you can design a parachute, pack it into a styrofoam cup, etc. gonna be sweeeeeeeeeet.

also as president i get to oversee how our budget is spent. basically when we have to buy food for events i make sure its food i like and soda i will drink. generally NO ONE but hall council members and 3 other people show up so if we're gonna have a ton of food for 10 people it might as well be food i like. i am after all president.

i am also a very unorganized president..i rarely have an agenda and tend to just wing it at the meetings. my favorite part is telling everyone to shut up when side conversations get us off track. no one wants to be in a meeting more than ten minutes, especially the RA's lol.  but oh well--part of being President is being able to think on your feet. obviously i'm doing that since everyone on hall council says they enjoy our meetings.

anywayss i shall now go and relax and watch comedy central until its time for our meeting. and then start planning the shout-outs to the people who want them teeheehee =)

until next time,
~sam
