By looking at these pictures you probably thought to yourself, "What in heaven's name is Shalene doing? Is she about to leave on a trip in which she had to pack? Is she moving?" Well the answer is NO! I may or may not have walked all around campus lugging that rolling suitcase filled with 100 water bottles! No, I am not overly concerned with people's hydration, It was Election time at ISU. About a couple months ago I decided to run for College of Education Senator, and so not only did I hang numerous campaign posters all over campus- but I handed out fruit snacks and water bottles. Don't think that my life for the past TWO weeks have been totally dedicated to meeting people and trying to convince them to vote for me. On Tuesday,I woke up stressed out wondering how in the world I was going to get through everything that I had to do that day. I had a huge history test (which I might add, I rocked!)also a study group at lunch, my BIG teaching interview (that is why I wore a dress all day) to get accepted into the Education Program, and in between all of that openly campaign- handing out water bottles. Lugging around a suitcase would have to be one of those things I probably will not do ever again- I got the craziest looks and comments. To be honest I am quite sure some people swore at me, cat called, and whispered behind my back...but as soon as I gave them a water bottle- it was all good! This experience has been a great one and I am super excited for next school year's ASISU Government...I pretty much think that I am going to rock the Senate meetings!
