Back to the Blogging…
After quite a long time without posting a new entry, I thought it was about time I updated the thousands of loyal followers my blog gets.
I haven’t posted for a while because it has been manic, the elections had taken over my life and detstroyed my bank balance and then I had to get back onto my degree with a long list of assignments and tests to get through…
The good news is; I was elected
And am now: SU Student Officer-Elect (09/10) which is pretty fab, although the new requirment to talk in a more politically corrent manner is proving to be a challenge, but I’m getting better.
It’s all good fun at the minute - with slanderous comments from a student (a situation I’ve become involved with and I have the local Uni Press looking for comments), debates with the Administrative staff in my faculty over the election of Course Reps, the lobbying of MP’s in London over tuition fees, and the build up for NUS’ Annual Conference in Blackpool next week.
On top of the usual Course Reps stuff. We’re now starting to set out the plans and identity of next year’s reformed rep system – which is really good!
Plus, I got to go back to my job in Coventry for a day last week which was good fun and very beneficial to unhealthy overdraft! It was good to get back into business mode and gave me quite a few ideas I could use back in the land of Lincoln.
Nothing to major / interesting / controversial in this blog post, it’s more of an update on what I’ve been doing – Rest assured though; I am thinking of something juicy to add…
