im tumblring

ljsulit:

I have always wanted to do this way back in my Multiply days. But I was so afraiod of the backlash it would create, so I’d rather leave it here. I don’t have a lot of Bosconian followers anyway, so it wouldn’t hurt to post them now. Plus, I spent my entire High School life as part of the Student Council and Auxiliary Staff, that posting it then, where even teachers are followers of it - more for supervision than amusement - would be scholastic suicide.

1. No one seems to know where our Constitution and By-Laws are. Therefore, we can do absolutely anything we want in our little league, even impeach a president if we want to. 

2. There have been fights over the JS Prom Food Tasting. Every January, while Fourth Year students are busy with their Entrepreneurship booths in the annual fair, us SC Officers start preparing for the February ball as well. And well, the inevitable happens, wherein we argue over the participants of the food-testing. Fortunately for me, in both times I was an organizer of the Prom, I managed to score myself the free meal in Sofitel’s Spiral, with the added dessert buffet in my Senior Year! By the way, the food’s always better in the food tasting, so  don’t blame us if they don’t deliver the same way during the actual event. False advertising.

3. We do not always get along with the CECAC/SAC/whatever they call it nowadays. I had a plateau of experiences with this position, including a year when it was vacated. I personally has some beef with a certain CECAC, and graduating with an award was a proud achievement for me, since I can’t say the same for past SC Presidents with CECAC issues.

4. In the same way, we’re not always in good terms with the APSA. I should now, he blocked my clearance one year for not completing my SC tasks, when they (with CECAC) could’ve assigned it to someone else NOT in a leadership camp then. Tsk, oh well.

5. No, we do not coerce the Cheerdance judges to crown the Seniors as champions. That would have been pointless.

6. We actually know when there is a fire drill. Or at least the active members do. I credit my acting skills to these events, if such exist.

7. We also know a lot of not-so-interesting stuff. This includes no-class day, PAASCU schedules, inverted PAASCU scheds, and internal personal-political issues. Yes, we don’t only know where your favorite teachers are, we know why they left.

8. We cut class to eat lunch. This is precisely the reason why we have “emergency lunch meetings.” Oh, we cut them to sleep, too.

9. The Power of the Call Slip. There are a bunch of the APSA’s signed call slips under the desk of the CECAC. We just affix our names on it and voila, goodbye boring class.

10. The events don’t make us relevant. I swear, it’s the most irritating perception of the SC. Any club can make an event - just ask Auxilium and their Marian Rally - but only the SC can lead the students. Cheesy, yes; but the truth is, if you have successful events one after than the other, and yet the students are not disciplined enough to line themselves up properly, there must be something wrong. Oh, wait. Right.

Now, looking back, it wasn’t as interesting as I thought it would be. Haha. Timeliness counts, I guess, and unfortunately, timing isn’t one of my best aspects. Just ask anyone who has seen me dance.
