Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

First trial as student coordinator: acting as middleman between the student council president and the school president.

Point in contention: the student council leadership training.

Two years ago (and the year before that) the entire student council and the officers of the recognized student organizations had only one leadership training. Last year, for some reason that suspiciously points to some people wanting to play at facilitator, they were separated, with only the SC president and vice president going to the school camp.

The entire student council had their own camp, which they paid out of their own pockets, and facilitated by the outgoing president.

This year the tradition continues, although now it's the entire executive committee of the SC that went to the leadership camp.

But now they want the school's money for the SC leadership camp this year, along with requesting to be excused from two days of classes.

Last year, in comparison, it was held two days after the school camp.

The council is asking for almost twenty thousand pesos to accommodate a little more than a dozen people for two nights.

Of course the president, on an austerity kick, is going to question that, along with wanting to miss two days of classes, a bad precedent.

Better that the twelve thousand pesos which was left over from last year's student council budget be allocated to something better this year, such as the public school scholars fund.

It doesn't matter if all the facilitators are voluntary. For all the rest of the people know not being there, they'll just laze about for two days eating richly paid for by the school.

Session 2175 doesn't want to side with anyone, nor keep out of it. Class dismissed.
