The Campaign - Day Two

Let us start at the beginng. A very good place to start.
I walked in the door around 7:53 AM. By 7:55 AM, all of the new campaign necklaces were gone. And for those of you wanting to get in on some necklace action, a new batch of 40-or-so will be out tomorrow.
Attention, everyone who forgot to register to vote: time's up! Honestly, I don't understand why people don't register. It takes 45 seconds, there's no obligation to actually vote, and you get free candy. Oh, well. Some will never learn.
And the first Inner Council meeting since campaigning began. Hoo boy. About half the IC is running against each other for the various positions (including myself, Ariel Improta, and Rebecca Wang). Man, you could cut the tension in there with a knife. Not that you should bring knives to school. Because you shouldn't. Anyway, a civilized meeting was attempted, and, unlike normally, succeeded, seeing as how everyone was so nervous about their competition, we were actually able to get something done. Our 8th Grade Social, entitled "Flash Dance", is off to a rocky start, but will presumably get better once the campaigning is over next week, and the winners are announced the week after.
Addendum: Do not order beans on a bacon cheeseburger. Gassy and unpleasant. Today's Helpful Hint from Will.
