        Wow. Here you see a much more idealistic version of me writing. These are some of the most profound events of my life that I write about here. Later on, I would drop many other hints about the events during my regime as Director of Activities. Let's break it down.

        Firstly, you'll see that I do something that I see very few, if any other people do. When there has been a problem or a failure, the first place I check is myself. As the article says, the initial version was *much* more self-depreciating. It was essentially an apology for failing my constituency, as I saw my reign at that point. Jim Bagby, the Director of Finance heard my original version and asked me not to do it. Wanting to get a second opinion, I asked my Social Life Committee to stay after and do me a favor by listening to the article. Everyone there did so. After I read it, there was a moment of silence before Labrie French offered that my interpretation was "absolutely ridiculous", which the other members seemed to agree with. It was really a testament to how much that committee had come together, despite early setbacks, and one person who wanted it destroyed if it wouldn't be her way. That idea that I must have done some things right started me in the process of analyzing the events of the past year. I came to the conclusion that while I made mistakes, the two most responsible for what had not gone right were two men who (pardon my language here) whored out every principle they ever claimed to have in order to take a shot at me. These two abused their positions, and violated numerous parts of the ASB Constitution. However, since they were more socially important than I was, no punishment or reform ever happened. More on this when I write my autobiography.

        Secondly, the part about these activities perhaps leading someone to Christ may go down on record as the only time anyone's ever managed to convict themselves. I got so caught up in my own pain over what happened that I forgot this important part. God had me go through this for some reason. I don't know what it is, but something's got to be there. Reading this article again was a real contributor in my decision to reconcile with one of my closest friends from the old ASB board. (I had blamed the old board for passively allowing the events hinted at above.)

        I'm 27 now, and I still don't know what adventures are left for me.
