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

What I notice about the student council this school year is that they start out with events that some students tell them they want to be part of (organization wise), that they are told will bring in a lot of participants.

And this is what they now try to incorporate in their all-encompassing events, like the campaign for voting.

And despite all of the hitches that have happened in the past, they still hold their meetings without me, such that when the document comes for approval and it is in conflict with other activities of the campus, it has to be rejected.

That is part of the lack of planning on their part, as well as wanting to be independent. I was just told that they had to decline the proposal of the brother president to have ten percent of the profits in their booths during the sports camp. Are they that greedy? They cannot even give a little back to the school?

So the campaign for voters, which they want to hold as a street party with an entrance fee (which for me defeats the purpose), has now been moved back to the same day as the institutional Christmas party.

The president, in her usual manner, now wants to be able to talk to someone to have our party moved so that they can push through with theirs. Who does she need to talk to? It is the brother president.

At least she has enough sense to know that the brother will most likely deny their favor since they denied his last request.

This means that she has to go back now to all the organizations who will have booth in the sports camp and convince them to share the profits, so that the event of her own party will push through as planned among themselves.

That is the way she wants to work. Plan vicariously among themselves, propose to the administration, and try to talk their way out of it if it is in conflict with something else. This would have been easily eliminated if they had let me do my job in the first place, which is to coordinate their activities for them while still in the planning stages. Of course the dean also has the right to deny their activity because it is not part of the revised schedule of activities for the second term she asked them to submit. And, by extension, I also have that right before it reaches her.

And here I am, with a resistant band of student leaders to contend with, so that when I have my own proposal of activities, I have to have my own set of so-called minions to work with who share my vision.

By resistant by the way, I mean they are very reluctant to work if they did not come up with the idea in the first place.

That is what happened with the proposed calendar for the month of teachers, and will most likely happen if I ask them to come up with something for Halloween, despite being in the plan of activities since the start of the school year.

At this point I would just like to wait the end of the school year out (like the brother president wanted before with that egotistical despot at the association of parents) and groom my team for next school year.

Session 2845 now thinks since the question was brought up: what are the plans for next school year? Stay on? Or go fulltime on something where there is no higher boss and the final say stays that way? The nice thing is at least both roads are fully passable, one not less attractive or less challenging than the other. This is one long closing statement. Class dismissed.
