Just in case you're curious, here's an outline of the day I've just had, and an outline for what tomorrow holds.
6:00am - Woken up by a txt from my friend in new york about how awful the title sequence for Mad Men is.
8:30am - Catch the bus to campus
9:00am - Give a campaign speech to a lecture hall full of students
9:05am - Eat a GIANT cooked breakfast with a couple of the other candidates
10:00am - 5:00pm every hour on the hour give a campaign speech in a lecture hall, in the minutes between, run around campus trying to convince people to vote.
5:10pm - Dinner and a pint with drama folk
5:30pm - 5:45pm - fall asleep at dinner table, surrounded by drama folk.
6:00pm - 8:00pm - Watch documentary in preparation for tomorrow's film seminar
8:30pm - Catch bus home
9:00pm - Midnight - make paper flowers to hand out along with flyers tomorrow. Watch the wire, eat, sleep.
Tomorrow, on top of everything I did today, i also have a 2 hour film seminar, an hour of rehearsal during the day, 4 hours of rehearsal in the evening, and a club night at an AWFUL club in town that i have to go to because all of the other candidates running for the position I'm running for are going.
The candidates debate and question time yesterday went better than i hoped, so that's a good thing, and the election is getting a lot of attention in the greater student body, so that's a plus. There are even videos of our speeches, and little vox-pop things so you can learn more about the candidates before you vote, to try and make it less of a popularity contest. In case you're curious, you can watch them here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlccgqtqzLQ and here http://www.youtube.com/user/sussexstudentsunion#p/c/9/cEI7JMzYE9M
At the moment, though i desperately want the job, what i want even more is for this week to be over. Remembering to stay hydrated, occasionally eat, and smile through the pain is proving difficult.
Only 2 more days. Two more exhausting days.
