in case you're curious...

I pulled off my first b-school all-nighter today.

I am very, very tired.

Did I let you down?

I tried to do my part for my school...
I ran for President of the Graduate Business Council.

I lost.

Because of Facebook.

Yes, I tried to give my all for my classmates, both current and incoming. I had a great platform. I had real, achievable goals that would improve everyone's time here. My competition was not as clear. Of the three of us, I was the only one that had experience with this type of work. One of the tow competitors was shipping overseas for the summer. The other candidate was down right hostile towards the school and virtually unknown to the student body.

Can you guess who won?

But here's the real dirty secret: I lost the position because a competitor complained about the most insignificant thing EVER, and I had votes taken away. It's interesting to think that the penalty actually represents the elections committee taking away somebody's voice.
You can disqualify me, but don't take away another students right to be heard.


Fucking Facebook...

I am not a bear.

Trust Me.

I don't think I told you, but 8 of us have managed to pull together a pretty killer '601' group. I find this fact to be particularly fantastic because I will be spending a very, very large amount of time with these 8 people in the near future, and if I have only one request for next year, it's that I have no lame duck groups.


I hate lame ducks.
