My feet hurt. FINISH THE JOB

Yeah hanging posters alone (with sligo and at one point niamh) not easy. starting to wish i had a fangirl base like my opponent :'( lots of hands make lighter work. especially when the work is heavy, sore on the finger tips (bluetack and pins) and above all, a mile long campus with a billion notice boards. ok ok slight exaggeration but it was a long day.

So today started rather early. i got to go meet the Bill Clinton, yes you heard me. that was a surprising turn of events, and by meet i mean i was about four feet away in a jam packed guildhalll square where he gave a speech on peace. he also said some very important points, one in particular that really stuck with me all day.....finish the job.
no im not planning on assassinating anyone just yet. but .... i have been told many times i wont win. thats fine, i have no problem being an underdog, i also would prefer not to loose by a landslide, however ive decided not to be worrying so much about this campaign, after ll its all for a happier university life, theres no point me being miserable and campaigning, this is a fun experience and if i go down, ill be going down in flames, flames nobody will forget for quite some time, even when these elections are over.
students may elect the opponent HOWEVER, theyll more than likely remember the pikatchu girl with the anime poster and a manifesto resembling a notice boards. This will be an election to remember lets just say that much.

So regardless of your views on clinton, it was motivational for me (and the extremely good looking politician in the pink tie didnt hurt the morning) but i have it in my head no FINISH THE JOB. this will be one to remember, and if my day wasnt memorable enough, not only did my fantastic room mates and friends in the choir preform, they had a saxophone.... highlight of my day, the shiny saxophone, ya know, apart from the fact B.clinton touched my hand not once, but twice, thats both of that mans hands ive touched. not a big deal to you guys but i doubt ill ever be touching a president of Americas hand again (current or not)

secret service guy being super secret



cough* not with the lunatics at all

sligo pleased she may have missed a seminar oops

the songs went on for quite song time.... wasnt one bit warm people



good wee view of the boys. well one guys!!!

mr very important univeristy man, that i cant remember the name of


masters student,.... did i mention im bad with names?


the big man himself finally appeared and started shaking hands



love this pose of him, he looks so not presidential 

you stay classy Derry. i love how other cities put out bouquets or wreaths. nah lets throw some nice potted plants out there (giggled so hard when i first seen this)

the most important selfie of the week likely..... this was a difficult selfie by the way, i got me the ex president and jaime and conrad.... al four of us in different rows. wasnt aware my arm stretched  that far 


ill be honest this was me taking a photograph of the secret service, not clinton.


So just incase i wasnt annoying/amusing you enough this evening, ive decided to also include a stop motion (sorta) of how i got squished in my mission to get the ex presidents hand not once but twice. woo. 


looks very civilized so far mmm





and now the hands come out



oh good, five rows back dont forget to ppupt your hands out either 


hand touch #1




blatant hand touch #2

squish up further, i dont mind, oh look there goes my hat 



control yourselves!



nope thats fine, i like being trampled, bye bye elections, i didnt even make it the week 



going 


going

gone

gotta love hat hair ;)


oh sure lets ease off now im trampled and hes away 
thanks folks, great audience today.
me and my MIA hat loved it. 


yes, the proof those childih gloves he touched so many times was mine..... my moment of fame for the afternoon. ok back to business.... after this it was straight to the uni for a big poster run..... ok hillbillys, THEN the uni.

You will all likely see them tomorrow however, im pleased i got round the uni so much in the amount of time i did. by the end i was just a sleep deprived zombie (probably definitely not the best idea to head off on a bus to Dublin tomorrow for the camogie championship. well to my opponent/coach and fellow team mates, good luck! ill be in class the sleeping)

Finished the night off with Core. gotta love you guys. best way to beat the stress, little to no actual students and alot of xboxs :) happy bunny tonight. 
Cant wait till tomorrows antics.!
see you all about campus tomorrow....consider yourselves warned!!!



As always email or facebook me if yous have any questions about me or my campaign, shouting on here or across a random classroom also works. Looking forward to hearing from the rest of you lovely people.
