Transitioning the new Student Body President

Today I met with Andrew Reese, James Madison University's new student body president for the 2010-2011 school year! Andrew is also known as my "little brother" as we created a sister-brother relationship this year in the SGA. I'm so proud of his accomplishments so far and I'm really excited to see what he does with the presidency.

After talking to him today I got a really good vibe from him and I think he's got the tools, the drive, and the skills to make it through the year. But don't think he's doing it all alone, because I equipped him with his very own Student Body President 101 Binder filled with a womping 72 tabs of useful SGA information, along with many google docs, emails, and files that will accompany him into the new year. We've started calling this massive book the "SBP BIBLE" because of it's massive size.

Please note: the student body president has rarely ever had a transition binder in the past, but this year I made it happen, and it took everything out of me! What an exhausting amount of materials to collect! But now he's all set and here's the happy face and the SBP bible to prove it:

Good luck Andrew, make big sis proud this year! And remember, I'm only just a phone call, email, or facebook wall post away :)

Peace & Love,

10,000th Tweet Celebration!

Today, I am celebrating my 10,000th Tweet!

About 35 tweets ago I noticed I was approaching this momentous mark in my young 2 years of tweeting and I got really excited, but worried that my tweet would be insignificant and that I'd forget about it.

... which, I did forget about! But LUCKILY it was actually a good tweet!

I was so happy when I got a text from Rheanna telling me that I finally had my 10,000th tweet. You know someone's a good friend when they remember the little things that make you happy!

Peace & Love,

Candace

The Sun will come out, Tomorrow

I've had a crappy week, but finally, it's tomorrow and Annie, the sun is coming out.

I recently had a lot of trouble with money and my job, and frankly none of it ended well. But I feel brand new now. I changed my bank, I am buying a new phone, I'm changing my life around, I'm organizing my finances, and I'm starting to get healthy. I am also very lucky to have the friends that I do, because when your family sucks it's always nice to know you can turn to your best friends. I think of the word "family" very loosely anyway. I'm finally starting to feel like me again, which is good because who doesn't want to be themselves? :)

Peace & Love,

Candace
