I spent a good 3hrs of my life last night sitting in a council meeting for the student gov't at school. The decision was to seek the councils status on the issue of having exams on sundays. After a long debate with many well thought out and articulated views, it was decided- SCSU is going to advocate for Sunday Exams as a solution for not having enough exam days in the fall semester. Despite the overwhelming majority of students who attended the meeting for this issue and the undenying side that these students took, when it came down to it..when all the SCSU directors had to vote, their hands reached for their personal opinions. Holding onto personal grudges that existed long before the issue on the table, then voted out of spite.

I don't think i am as upset about the issue of having to write exams on sundays as i am about how these directors has let down the students. I can live with taking out 2 sundays out of my life to write an exam..and i can even probably get to write it earlier/later in the same week for 'religious reasons'. But the fact that these directors did not have integrity towards the promises they made during campaign season simply hurts.

Needless to say that i was greatly disppointed that those who were elected as the voice box of the student body failed to represent its body. Greatly disappointed. Who knows what else goes on in that room?

There is one Christain who has a voting status on that board. She's only a second year student and i can see the older students making trouble for her in the future. She is also on another commitee with the dean and her role on that commitee can override the decisions of SCSU. She is quite passionate about this issue and will not doubt, will not let this be the end. Pray for her.

My parents has been gone for a week and i really miss them. The situation w/ my granparents has gotten better..they try to sleep early so i get quiet studying time...except they still wake up at 6am...and the chinese opera and cooking primes my awakening not so long after.

This has been a great and some what 'stressful' week. Although i don't think i was actually stressed at any point. I had three exams this week and i'm asking myself why i didn't take these courses earlier. With the exception of the 2 surprise essays on the English exam, they've been awesome! And who knows, perhaps i was able to bs my way through that exam.
