Erection Day

That's how one student, and several teachers, say election day. How can I resist a title so hilarious? I advised them all to say "the voting time" it comes out poting time but I don't need to worry about the pleats in my pants when they say that word.

The school has their elections tomorrow to determine who will be the next president and vice president of the school year starting in March. It's just like back home where a student will come into a classroom disrupt everything by promising ridiculous things that don't make sense (honestly, I just ignored them, they could have said something logical). The candidates also bring in two sign carrying blokes the say some sort of cheer for the peer they're supporting. Very supportive and very Korean.

The two candidates that I know by name are completely polar from one another. Kyoung-Ha is completely insane and an egotistical class clown. In class he always has his hand up because I'm 90% sure he just wants to hear his own voice. Usually he doesn't know the actual answer but has a long "umm" or a joke that most often proves he's completely off the rails. I don't want to discredit his intelligence, because he is a super smart kid, but he'll be making personal announcements over the PA every hour if he gets elected. Yoorim, on the other hand, is just a hard working girl with the personality of a potato, homework, study, homework, study, eat, play violin, study, go to school at 8:00 am, and she just keeps going. You get the picture. She'd be a great admin person but she's not this approachable person at all. Even I'm intimidated by her. Yeah, she's taller than me.

The other kid seems to have this band wagon of the degenerates of our school which can't bode well if  the faculty has anything to say about it. I will consider him a dark horse in the race.

There very well could be others as well. I'm excited to here the results whenever that may be. Fact this is the most I've ever looked into any election ever. It's because I don't want this to happen to anything ,anywhere, EVER.
