Day of epic proportions

I won.

I ran, they voted, I won.

I won.

Something about winning is so satisfying. Knowing you succeeded, knowing you did well. Knowing you did everything you needed to and therefore came out on top. Knowing you did nothing wrong and the choices you made were the right ones.

Today was a day of epic proportions. Student government results, Alex's birthday AND our five month-aversarry. I baked him oatmeal raisin cookies, made him a card and I'm getting a picture of us framed for him.

He got a gorgeous HP laptop for his birthday. It's GORGEOUS- 17 inch screen and a webcam. It's unbelievable.

He's just awesome. We sat in the elevator and talked and looked at his new laptop. It was really sweet.

Winning student government was really cool.

 Kayla held my hands through the whole thing- I was so nervous. I plastered my upper body to my desk and closed my eyes, face down. I knew that in mere seconds I would either celebrate or be really really embarrassed and would have to do the walk of shame around the school and take down my campaign posters.

"Now, for the Student Executive Board Members..."

Paris Ellsworth began to list the names over the intercom.

"Ryan O'Connor"

*Heart beating fast*

"Becca Mazur"

*Clebration. Heart beating even faster*

"Katherine McDonough"

*Two more. Heart racing.*

"Sam Myers"

Sam was the fourth name. There were five spots.

In that millisecond my breathing stopped and my eyes shut. It was the moment I'd been waiting for. The moment of truth.

"Sierra Schwartz"

My breathing started again and I screamed. I went a bit dizzy from the pressure release, then screamed again and hugged Kayla and the rest of my homeroom.

Becca then came in and we hugged.

I then ran to call my mom- but my phone was unusable due to the 7 text messages coming in at rapid speed all saying "congratulations!"

I felt so special.

I also felt bad for people that didn't win. There were a lot of people that didn't win that I really wanted to be on student government. 

Overall, I'm in a great place. Now all I have to do is study for finals. AHHH...finals.
