KAVAN

Well I picked up my form at Sheffield. So I’m going to officially collect signatures.

Any advice?

STUDENT GOVERNMENT (-KAVAN)

Ideas for a thank you and good luck gift for Kavan? He’s done a fantastic job and deserves a memento from us.

ETA: let's take a group photo this weekend, I’ll get a plaque made, and we’ll do dinner at the Pizza place in Philly on 4/16.

This past year has not been an easy one for the students at Havisham. We’ve collectively leaned on each other throughout our grief, our confusion, our anger and yes, even our joy. The uncertainty surrounding the happenings at Havisham hang over us as we begin the process of planning for a new year, new classes, new students. And also new leadership. Will it be business as usual? Will the strange occurrences continue to occur? How do we plan for the unknowable?

Now more than ever we need to have experienced leadership in our Student Government, to continue navigating the student body through uncharted waters. As Vice President of Students Government this year I have been privileged to watch and learn from Kavan as he dealt with this most dramatic year, and it’s my hope that I can continue where he left off. So I’d like to announce that I am collecting signatures and exploring a run for Student Government President. I hope to continue the steady leadership that we have come to expect from this year, and to help manage and alleviate if or when a new uncertainty strikes. I have plans in the works on responses to both past events would they happen again, and supposed future events that might happen based on past happenings. I’ll release these once my run is official.

I will be outside of Witch’s Brew this afternoon collecting signatures. Please come by and let me know of your concerns or ideas - even if you don’t sign for me. I don’t expect your support, but I would love the chance to earn it.

VP is a title. I only ran for it so I could placeholder for next year. And I’m treasurer, yes, but Society positions matter more to Society members and not the general public. For instance, if I go to Oxford, they’ll care more about my Student Government Presidency then my ability to balance a budget. Unless I was going for Accounting which I am not.

What did you think?

	Got it. So it's... like you're lily-padding. One thing on to another. She was a convincing speaker. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ThoShay protec 2020-04-02 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly. It’s the same as public office, you can’t jump from city commissioner to a President. You have to work your way up through different offices. She’s known for that. Were you convinced? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Also like... a really long triathlon. Nah. But I'm known for my surplus of suspicion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ThoShay protec 2020-04-02 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	LOL or that. It’s almost warm enough to swim so I’ll have to work on that soon. Not a bad thing. Is that why you left? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A lot of your interests horrify me, but if you like 'em, who cares. The snack table was an abomination. As the future president, you should really start there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ThoShay protec 2020-04-02 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	You don’t swim? I will demand proper snack tables at all events in the future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ThoShay terseness 2020-04-02 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. If I tell you something, you've got to keep it quiet. Got it? You already had my signature, but now I really mean it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fine, I’ll owe you a secret in return. I don’t have anything until it’s on my papers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hate any/all sea creatures up to and including our dolphin. I'll come see you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ThoShay protec 2020-04-02 06:36 pm UTC (link)
	1. You have a dolphin? 2. I feel like there’s a story here 🤔 I’ll make sure there’s a muffin. Don’t tell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ThoShay terseness 2020-04-02 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	Was that a secret? Shit. Fog and Dagger thing. No story; I just find sea life gross and alarming and unnecessary. Sweet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ThoShay protec 2020-04-02 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	I’m swimming in pools if that helps lmao. You guys actually have a dolphin??? And okay I can see it they’re a bit weird. Flavor? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I saw Jaws as a kid. I trust nothing that swims all the time. Anything but rhubarb. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was like 18 when I saw that. Rhubarb is the line? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ThoShay terseness 2020-04-02 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	3. The babysitter fucked up. So yeah, I have a phobia or whatever of sea creatures. The whales can save themselves. Montana is known for rhubarb. Rhubarb muffins, rhubarb pies, rhubarb milkshakes... ugh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ThoShay protec 2020-04-02 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	THREE oh my god I knew there was a story. How did you handle being on a tropical island for a week? I had no idea Montana was so full of rhubarb. I had it in London I think? It’s tart right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ThoShay terseness 2020-04-02 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	I mean, I was fine. The beach was beautiful. I got to have my revenge by eating a lot of fish. All good. Tart, yeah. Kinda bitter, so a lot of people compensate with sugar. We've got a lot of huckleberry too, but that's good so whatever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ThoShay protec 2020-04-02 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	Well I’ll keep your (multiple) secrets. Why does F&D have a dolphin?? I don’t like things too sweet. Cranberry-orange is my jam. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ThoShay terseness 2020-04-02 07:10 pm UTC (link)
	He's supposed to be good luck?? I don't know. You have to pet him to get it and he's so djflsdjfjgahhhh. Yeah, cranberry-orange is good. That WOC event would've been like, 40% improved if it was there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Slippery? Damn. We were never going to win. My grandmother hates cranberry lol. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stop adding adjectives; you're giving me flashbacks. I'll come by the Witch's Brew in a bit. And-- I can't offer any help whatsoever with your campaign because I hate politics and am waiting for you to be secretly evil with your interest in them, but I'm always good to treat you to something caffeinated, okay?

	Fiiiine. I told you how I cried in my room over a surprise party ok we’re even. I’m incredibly evil, obviously. And I never say no to a latte if you’re offering. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
