#425; we made even though we had our backs up against the wall

And I ditch SS because on the spur of the moment I decided SS wasn't worth it and decided to check blogs and I feel inspired.
Campaign season - two weeks have practically flown by in a mess of
1. Vote canvassing: taking two buses earlier than normal to get to school by 7am, walking into sec one classes and seeing them groan/hide their faces when we burst out into LAURA LAURA LAURA OHHH~, looking guiltily at Jocie every time I said an extra or missed out on a "yo!" (still can't memorise the order you know);
2. Whiteboard testimonials: smiling very hopefully at people to get them to write on the boards, spending Chinese rewriting "I want RGS '11 to be a place of:" in whiteboard marker even though it got erased when I moved on to the next word, the facebook uploading every night and Laura asking "is it spamming your news feed? it's supposed to";
3. The structure- oh god the structure, screaming like.. girls when the three of us attempted to prop up three poles double our height (and weight, at that), staring very fearfully at the tripod knot when we realised it hadn't been frapped, consoling ourselves via wangxuan again and again with a lot of "it won't fall.. r-right?", and the endless pegging and tightening and REPEAT and testing it and getting very scared and finally getting it reasonably secure and hence CAMWHOREEE;
4. Dinner: amazing! It's really nice to see how far we've come from the first dinner under the escalator with half the team to a full awesome dinner at J8's pastamania with an astounding 10/13 attendance :D thank you Laura for dinner (: best part = "so what could we have improved on?" (silence)
And I think this HP Campaign season has really taught me a lot, about serving with passion, leading with pride. I think the candidates this year are really one of the best we've had so far, but then again I never really took the previous years' HP campaign process as seriously as this year.
Laura your speech was amazing <3 And I wouldn't know for sure - but I think your team comprises of the people who really believe in you, who can imagine you standing up there and leading RGS with direction for the next year. And thank you so much for being as far from disappointing us - two months ago I wouldn't have known enough about you to fully support you but over June and all the shoot shag marry and talks about everything I hold dear (and you've been amazing with all your advice and you've given me direction, already, and I can't thank you enough for that), you've only cemented in me, and the team, and many many new supporters and believers I'm sure you've earned over the two weeks, the strongest belief and trust that you'll lead RGS in the same revolutionary way you've lead this team and constructed this campaign.
I love you and believe in you and I've voted you ;D

And i think you love me enough not to kill me for this HAHA:
