I need to start dialogging my life on this thing again.
I'll start off by mentioning my succession to the presidency of FNHS. It was something magical when I heard my name being called. The way elections were done, the candidates who ran for president were placed in the positions of president, vice president, and senior rep dependent on how many votes they received (the candidate who gained the most votes would be president, second most would be vice president, etc.) They started with Edgar Segura who placed third apparently and became Senior Rep. Now that was a surprise--I was expecting Edgar to win it all. Next was the call for vice president, and again my name was not called. Two frightening thoughts were now swimming in my head: 1) I didn't even place and lost the elections entirely or 2) I was the new president. Both were, at that moment, inconceivable.
Sure enough, Aaron Sopocco called my name, announcing me as the new president of the French National Honor Society. I can't think of a situation in which I felt the feeling that I felt at that moment. A genuine smile of shock stole my face. I walked to the front of the room as my fellow peers cheered. A gave a small speech, a speech of thanks and call for change. I may have offended the current board, but who really cares. As president my goals are as follows:
PRESIDENTIAL GOALS:
1. Organize a team and compete in local French competition.
2. Create specialized project exclusively for the club.
3. Be involved in school activities and all club activities.
4. Ensure proper communication and awareness of club activity and status (distribute probations, announcement of meetings well in advance).
To name a few. There was sure a lot more that pissed me off about the club this year, but these sure qualify as the top ones. Wish me luck!
And briefly, my checking account was hijacked. And I allowed it. I...signed up for one of those cheap trial products online. And I used my card. After 14 days, well, without a cancellation, they assume you'd like to continue to purchase their product--but now its not the "trial price." They charge full price, and take the money directly from your account. I lose $73 with the first purchase and $83 with the second before I even realized what was happening.
Please guys, don't ever buy anything online if you cannot trust it.
GAMV slumber party was last night and this morning. And...it was fun. I feel proud in knowing that I conceived (that's the THIRD use of that word in this one post) and executed this event because it's very unlike me. I want to thank everyone of my girls for participating and having a good time. I love you all. Let's do it again ;D

Hahaha, I must say though, I realized that all of the board members next year except for Edgar are gonna be in the same class. Wait.. I don't know if Edgar's gonna take French next year. ._. No, what am I saying, he is. >>
Anyways, D: this is why I don't buy things, Hanan! They can get stolen!
