clubs

This week has been so crazy. On top of schoolwork and getting ready to go home for Thanksgiving, I was elected into Inter-class Council as Freshman Class Treasurer. I'm really excited about this, but it's so much work! I was elected into the office Monday. Tuesday I had to go straight from class to my first meeting as Treasurer. I never imagined that it would be so formal! The reps from each class sat along a long table. The meeting was called to order and was very organized. You were called on to talk, and I'm assuming that talking out of turn is not allowed. They were all very welcoming, but it was a bit overwhelming. I was given huge amounts of paperwork and statistics on budgets that I'll be working on this weekend. A Freshman trip is already planned by the VP and President, which I also need to work out the money for. While at the meeting, one of the Junior class officers stated how she could not be the ICC Rep for CEN anymore. The Sophomore class officer stepped up and said that she'd take the job. The junior responded back that a freshman should take the position. Because the president, VP and Secretary are all busy during CEN board meeting times, I took the job. Straight from the end of that meeting, I headed over to my last SOAR meeting. Straight from there, to practice. As soon as I thought my day was over, I had to go back to the room and do some homework.

Wednesday wasn't any easier. I had meetings for ICC, CEN and then cheerleading straight from 3:30-10:30. Although it's a lot of work to be the ICC rep at CEN, it seems like it's going to be really fun. Everyone there was very inviting and seems to have a great time. The meeting with the CEN chair persons was much less formal, but still structured the same as ICC. I never even knew these type of organizations occured on campus! I told my roommate that if I go to join anything else to stop me. I need to focus on the clubs that I have right now and provide my best service to the freshman class. Although I love all of these things, I know that academics is my top priority. Thus far, my lowest grade is a 94%, so I hope to stay in that range. I feel pretty confident that I can do this, but I know that if I simply can't handle it the best action would be to forfeit something so that I can keep my priorities straight.
