YOU GUYS R FUCKIN RETARDED. NEW SONGS.

so apparently, there's been a lot of shit talking behind my back about prom themes. "these songs are horrible! who chose them? oh LAURA did? what a retard! she should just kiss my ass. i want a revote!"

no i'm sorry to burst your bubble but i wasn't the ONE to choose them. i guess you gotta find yourself another scapegoat eh?

"All of these SUCK, SUCK, SUCK! I'm gonna brainstorm this weekend for Good themes"

um. good job, but a bit late hmm? we did email you and ask for suggestions over a week ago. it'd be nice if you gave us song nominations earlier so we could put them on the ballot. i mean, please don't complain if you didn't DO ANYTHING about it in the first place.

being a senior class officer is so frustrating. you do all this bitchwork and slave for 450 people but what do you get in return? a bunch of complaints and putdowns. "they embezzel money!" come on, what bullshit is that? i've spent over $300 of my own money to pay for senior ball and senior cruise deposits. and no i'm not getting reimbursed.

thank you to the 100 or less seniors who actually appreciate our work... without you guys, i swear i'd have broken down a loooongg time ago.

"i'm not surprised if you guys just stopped fundraising for senior ball. if people don't care, you should just make them pay the price. they [the class] did this to themselves." - mr. b
why do we keep trying when it is more detrimental to our health to continue? why put up with it all? because i don't want those 100 people to suffer because of the other peopls' attitudes.

i don't think anyone realizes how much work we, as officers, put into planning everything. from senior prom, cruise, waterworld, homecoming, winterball, breakfast, and graduation programs/busing/scheduling to flower sales, teddy bear grams, Edgies pool, sweet tomatoes, emerson's, jamba juice, SAT sales, and a SHITLOAD of other stuff.

- yeah we're the ones who sit by ourselves at lunch to work the booths to fundraise for the class - for those who have a jolly good time complaining about how crappy the officers are.
- we're the ones who won't have a free lunch week of school from now until june.
- we're the ones who call every catering company/limo company/flower shop in the yellowpages to get the best deals for the class.
- we're the ones who stay up until 3am working on fliers and emailing businesses for the class.
- we're the ones who beg the class to participate and kindly ask them to be involved and help us out, but receive only apathy.
- we're the ones who are crazy enough to do all this busywork even though we know we'll end up being yelled at.
- we're the ones who struggle to make sure senior year is a blast for everyone else, even if we have to sacrifice our happiness to do so.

this angsty rant is written in hopes that you'll rethink how you view the senior class officers. please don't be so quick to judge because there is so much going on behind the scenes that you don't see. give credit where it's due. and if you think of ways for improvement, don't hesitate to email us (msjhs2005@gmail.com). we won't get mad if you tell us in person what we need to work on, but please please PLEASE do not spread rumors or talk behind our backs because that 1) doesn't improve the situation and 2) hurts me a lot.

it's such a thankless job, but what's worse is that the words people say about you can cut really deep. i'm sorry if i'm not doing a good job, but god knows, i'm trying the best i can. how can i help you if you don't tell me what i'm doing wrong? i want to be a good officer even if it kills me. and i'm not crying because the "words" people say are so mean, but because it shows that they aren't satisfied with my work; it shows that i've let them down.

i loved to organize things just so i could see everyone else happy. but now, it seems like more people are mad than happy. i'm sorry. i really didn't mean to. i don't know how or why things turned out this way.

would things have been better for you guys if i never ran for office? i don't know what you want me to do anymore. if my resignation is what it takes to make things better, i'll do it for you, even though it'd break my heart and hurt me more than anything. i'm not joking.

whatever you want, you'll get it. just ask.
