And so it all begins. 8am this morning saw the start of campaigning for the University of Surrey Students' Union sabbatical elections 2003, and I am standing for VP Communications and Marketing (if you hadn't already guessed from the slight change to my homepage)! This morning was amazing - up at 7am, and postering and bannering around campus by 8am on the dot. I was really chuffed at the number of people who turned up at some unearthly hour to help me: Adam, Neil, Ian, Pete, Dan, Mark & Helen - you were amazing!

Campus is looking really quite groovy and colourful, with posters in almost every conceivable spot. It was quite impressive to see some of the locations the candidates had reached. At one point Adam and Neil tried to 'borrow' a ladder we found on the Hall roof, but thought better of it when security came round the corner! We had a tiring, though really fun morning, and things are only just beginning.

But overall, it's quite a relief to be able to say VOTE SARAH BUTTERWORTH FOR COMMS AND MARKETING in public now - here's to the best 2 weeks of the year!
