Meh
So I ran for a position on the Law Student's Society, a first year rep. There were two spots for that position and five of us ran. Out of the four opponents two were two of my best friends in the program. I ran not necessarily dying to be on the LSS, but obviously I was somewhat interested or I wouldn't have run. There was virtually no campaigning and at the speeches I said that I was okay with other people winning because I thought they'd all do a good job. That was a true statement. We had the results emailed out to us today, and the two people who won were my tow best friends.
I'm a little bit confused as to how I feel about this. I'm not super upset that I'm not on the LSS - it would have been a fairly big time committment and now I don't have that, but my natural competitiveness makes me wish I had won, just because I hate losing at anything. But I can't really be upset because I have to be happy for my friends, and I am, but I don't know it's just a weird feeling. I'm still enjoying everything out here, but I think going home the last two weekends has made me miss home and my friends at home a bit more than I was before. Oh well. I'm sure I'm just in a minimal funk and will get out of it in the next day or so and feel better about the world.
