Summer Nights and EGMs

Let’s see, Tuesday was the Writer’s end of year party. Rob won the competition we voted for, and also the award decided by Rodge Glass, and Stewart won the award for the member who had improved the most over the year. We ended up in the union an eventually went for some karaoke. I sang “Eye of the Tiger” with the guys, and then the whole group sang the “dirty version” of Summer Nights from Grease.

Thursday was the EGM at the union. Recently, it’s come out that the new Principal of the uni wants to close the union and get rid of a lot of courses, and the EGM was called to address this. It was actually exciting for the most part, with some really good speeches by some of the students. Just wish I hadn’t had to sit in such an uncomfortable position for the whole two hours. Afterwards, we went to the Ark for dinner as we always do on a Thursday, and had a good time there.

On Friday, we had a protest about the above closures, which meant we all stood in the wind and rain for about two hours waiting for the court and principle to come out from a meeting, only to find out unsurprisingly that he had exited out a back door somewhere. So, went to the Ark again and ran into some of the Writers for a drink before I went home.

Next week should be good too, looking forward to that.
