Class Rep Training

So, time to catch up!

You might have heard, but I was elected class rep for my Junior Freshman HistPol class! Deadly, I know! 'Was it a tough campaign??', I hear you cry. Well....not really, no. I mean, I ran unopposed. I think I just scared the competition away. Hey, their lose, not mine!

So, what exactly is it that class rep does? Well, I'm still not 100% sure, but it's really just to be well, a class representative for the Students' Union. I have to go to SU Council eight times a year, if my class has any welfare or academic issues, I'm there to give them a hand and I organise class parties! Fun times!

Anyway, last Friday morning at a ridiculously early hour, the SU all the class reps onto a bus and brought us to a really nice hotel somewhere in Meath for two days of class rep training and drunken debauchery. We learned a bit during the course of the two days, but the real highlight was Friday night. It was a fantastic night and I met lots of new people. I mean, going up there I knew one person, Nailer, but coming back there was a few people that I would consider friends. Awww.

There was a party in literally every room, even our's! Whenever security came up to quieten us down, the party just moved one room down! Excellent! There was togas all over the place, a terrible band, the explosion greeting and an awful table quiz. And Agyness Dyne girl.

Best night I've had out in Dublin for sure and even this week, I can see a difference around college, I mean, I see people that I actually know! It's awesome! So yeah, happy faces all round!
