Today we had the elections for Grade 9 rep! Wow! I think it turned out quite well! Many people flagged me down afterwards and told me that they thought my speech was the best and/or they are voting for me! I realize that it sounds like a cheesy politician's line, but even if I do not win, just the thought of my supporters' words of encouragement and praise cheers me up!
After lunch in class, Mr. Arkin notified us that our marks for the super-power autobiography are up. When I was about to check my mark, Mr. Arkin asked me to run down to the staff room to deliver a power cord of some sort. When I returned, some of my classmates told me that I didn't get a mark for my autobiography. "What?!?!" My first instinct was that my mark didn't show, because I received a zero for a some particular reason. Then, when I asked Mr. Arkin, he told me that it was simply an error and he showed me my mark. I am not going to say what it is, but I can say that I was definitely satisfied to some extent. Of course, from the perspective of a stereotypical International Baccalaureate student, it is not a perfect score, but I will take this mark and be happy with it. :)
After Mr. Arkin discussed with us his feedback on the assignment, he gave us the ballots and the class voted! The results will not be up until tomorrow. Of course it is nerve racking, but all I can do is get a good night sleep after one whole week of intense, friendly-competitive campaigning. As I mentioned before, whether I win or lose, the experience I obtained this past week is invaluable!
