DAY TWO - The day before voting opens

So it is day two (well actually three as I missed out yesterday as I was singing in a competition!)

Anyway DAY TWO -

For a moment today it looked like it was going to be a two horse race as another one of the candidates Claire Freeston was disqualified yesrterday due to LUU policy which states that candidates must have had at least one year's committee level experience (eg. Sub-Editor), however due to an appeal she has been reinstated in the ballot. So it is a three horse race one more.

It is 'meet the candidates' tomorrow (2pm LUU Joblink) and I have to give a speech! I'm am pretty nervous though feel confident about the messages that I want to get across. It feels very strange being on the other side of the elections for once. For three years now I have reported and commented on LUU elections and referendum and now I am in it!! WEIRD! I guess my reporting experience has taught me a lot though - basically try not to look like a fool - so I hope that this stands me in good stead!

Speech - aaah I better go finish writing it!

Voting opens at 4pm tomorrow - go to www.luuonline.com/vote and vote Virginia #1 for Leeds Student Editor
