Stud Co Pt II

So. . . i made it past primaries!!!!. . .. now comes the hard part. Why is it so hard?
--the teams are stacked. Usually the best team gets most people on stud co.
--My good friend is on the other team. His ideas and mine go so well together, and I was planning on being on his team as well.
--My opponant and I are squared off. I am going to have to pull off some sick stunt if I want to win
--Im going to be in New York, as well as half my team.. . . that is never good.
Sooo. . .it just seems like I am starting a big climb up a big hill. We'll see how it goes.

Stud. Co.

For the past week, I have been swamped with many things. Next week I will be in New York; Next week is the end of 3rd term; But the biggest thing that continually makes me nervous for the future is the occasion of student council elections. Why does this agitate me so?
First of all, I am involved with them. I am running for a student body position.
Second, it has taken much time to prepare for these elections. Posters and portfolios need to be made, and they do take some time to get through. Interviews followed, and this week primaries will take place.
This also stresses me out because I feel obligated to be on it next year. I have already spent a year on student council and have enjoyed it immensely.
It is also one of my last high school goals. At the end of 9th grade I wrote some goals that I wanted for high school. Getting on Student Council is the biggest, and last goal that needs to be accomplished.
So. . . these are reasons to why student council is so important to me, and why I really want to be on it next year.

Biology

Last month contained Valentines Day (Feb. ) and Easter is coming right up. With these two holidays comes much love, rejoicing, and of course, chocolate. Pounds and pounds of it! Bunnies as big as Mount Rushmore are now being stocked on the grocery store shelves. None of this "hollow" stuff, no, that bunny is "choc" full of chocolate. This brings up the curiousity of the effect of chocolate on the feminine minded among us. Why is chocolate so good to them? Don't get me wrong, chocolate does taste good (especially when added to cookies or pancakes) but its not mood-changing good. Is it?
I think there is something biological about it. The molecules in the chocolate must mix with the estrogen in the feminine body which produces a euphoria and temporary relief of any pain they must be experiancing at that point.
Chocolate has also been known to have small amounts of caffine, which has been known as "addictive"
Chocolate is usually given as a gift (usually comes with roses.) So when the women in question is eating this chocolate, they are probably thinking of the fine lad that gave it to them, which produces a happy thought, which can change a dark mood.
Although men do not get the blessings out of chocolate that most women do, most can attest that it does make the best tasting milk, as well as the most thought out apology.
