The Campaign - Day Ten

Hey! Guess what?
(You say: "What?")
Today is the day that campaigning ended! So if you want to hear me or any other candidates talk more about their various assets... well, just ask. I can't say no.
Today was also our super-swell class meeting, in which various delightful ASB seniors introduced the candidates and their speeches. I was the last to speak, and much of the energy and enthusiasm had been sucked out of the audience (save Karthik, who is always very excited, and isn't afraid to show it), as people were antsing to get to lunch aready.
It also didn't help that I essentially ad-libbed my speech. However, I felt that having something overly prepared would take away from the person-to-person, genuine feel I have established for much of my campaign. Something else I established for this campaign, the firm "no-gimmicks" law, was also tested, as I was visibly put-off by some of the hokier props/costumes/musical accompaniments other candidates in all four positions sprung on the audience.
People told me they enjoyed my speech, but I'm not so sure. I got an essentially lukewarm reception, and only my good buddy, senior Dane Ortega, was still laughing after the speech had ended.
Some of you were made a bit uneasy by my aggressive campaigning tactics I had used earlier in the race, so I took this opportunity to work a few shifts in the Student Store. It wasn't my week to work, but nobody else was doing it, so I figured I might as well. Come to think of it, it's a bit like my Presidency: I pick up the slack, do the duties other people couldn't perform.
Are you registered to vote? No? Too bad. The rosters have already gone out to the seniors for voting. Better luck next year!
Yes, it's that time again. Voting is on the morrow. Do you know who you're voting for in each of the positions (besides Class President, that should be a no-brainer)? Honestly, there are certain races for which I have yet to make up my mind, mostly in the ASB commisioner spectrum. But I should have it down pat by tomorrow.
Tomorrow is also a Spirit Day, so show up wearing red, white, and blue clothing and earn our class some Spirit Points! Or possibly Spirit Fingers! Or Jazz Hands! Something to that effect.
Make up your minds. Consider all the candidates. Vote with your mind, not with your gut. And I'll see you at the Election Celebration on Friday.

Today's Helpful Hint From Will: Hot on the heels of yesterday's Pi Day announcement comes a much more ominous holiday, especially for politicians. Yup, today was the Ides of March, famous for being the day of Julius Caesar's assassination. As a candidate running for political office, this is a rather portentous omen of doom. Will someone close to me turn on me? Et tu, Whitney High?

I WILL - STILL
Will Stabile - Vote For Me!
