Appointments chair is a position with an unreasonably disproportionate amount of power. |
Because no appointments need to be made until the end of this semester, not having a database now does not hurt anyone or complicate anything. So I don't feel bad about holding onto the database until these larger questions about the role of Student Council are answered. |
Fortunately, the system I had set up allowed room for this lag. But all that has now been worked out, and no new appointments are needed until the end of this semester. |
The point of an election is to evaluate someone's performance — my performance as appointments chair, for example, to which the database that I developed is substantially connected. My performance as appointments chair was rejected by the student body. |
The problem, as I see it, [is that] I was unfortunately not committed enough to Student Council at the end of the first semester that I didn't find in myself [enough motivation] to put together a good campaign to run again. |
When [the special election] happened and I had to make the choice to run again, I realized that I didn't want to be on Student Council anymore, mostly because I did a lot of work, and I don't have room in my schedule. |
