I'm not talking about the big ones (I think I made it clear why I hate those elections about six months ago). I'm talking about the small ones, like school elections. They suck. And we're currently in the middle of them right now.
It's student body elections at the law school, which means that everyone is out in full force. It's honestly a bit nauseating to see how people are blatantly trying to buy votes. One group set up a fondue station.
I was in the library trying to find my study group and some guy handed me a paper and asked if I'd voted yet. I told him I had and wished him good luck. He asked "Any of the names on the list?" I just smiled and said it was a secret.
I didn't and I'm glad I didn't. I mean, I get wanting to be elected, but putting someone on the spot like that (especially when they're busy) is just not cool at all.
I renew all my complaints about law students. A good number of us really are obnoxious human beings that will probably only get worse as time passes.
rants,
