...almost game time!

It’s been a wonderful Wednesday so far! I worked in Coe’s Public Relations Office this morning, went to my one and only class of the day at 2, exercised after class, and now I’m just getting ready for another busy night!

In 15 minutes I will go to my last Coe College Student Senate meeting ever. After meeting with our representatives at 6 p.m. every Wednesday for the last two years, it’s hard to think about not every going to one of these meetings again. I guess that also means this is my last day of serving as the Student Body Corresponding Secretary. Being the PR coordinator of our senate has been one of the most fun leadership roles I’ve had at Coe. In addition to chairing the public relations committee, I was in charge of baking delicious homemade treats for the group and choosing the “Senator of the Week.” I’ve been told the group is going to miss my treats a lot…whether they miss me, who knows?!

Yesterday, Coe’s student body voted in our new President and Vice President for 2008-2009. The election process began on Monday with three pairs of candidates contesting for student’s votes. The winning contenders must win by majority. This didn’t happen in Monday’s election, so there was a run-off election yesterday. I counted all of the votes last night with our out-going President Kevin Randall and Vice President (and fellow blogger!) Katie Roger.

After the Senate meeting at 6, I’m heading over to the basketball game. The Kohawks face Wartburg tonight. Our girls lost by one the first time they faced the Knights, so it’s definitely time for some redemption tonight! Regardless of the outcome, it should be a great match-up. If my roommate Amber Karkosh scores 14 points, she will have racked up 1,000 total points during her collegiate career. I’m off to buy her balloons right now…I’ll report back tonight with the scores!
