This is Political Science for Undergrads

I figured it out. I figured out how the student government association at my university works. Most people I find are real scared and confused as to take it all in. Henceforth I'm going to put it in simple terms. Right now I'm going to thank the president, my pseudo-political advisor, and maybe my toilet for having me sit on it and ponder this enigma. And now how the SGA works.
1. I want to make a new rule.
-Take it to get it approved by the SGA advisor.
2. I want to publicize an activity.
-Take it to get it approved by the SGA advisor.
3. I want to have a meeting with someone.
-Take it to get it approved by the SGA advisor.
4. I want to change the channel in the student center.
-Take it to get it approved by the SGA advisor (unfortunately chances are it will not be changed from the dreaded Black Entertainment Television).
5. I want to leave the SGA.
-Take it to get it approved by the SGA advisor.
6. I want to take something to get it approved by the SGA advisor.
-Take it to get it approved by the SGA advisor.
This is pretty much the gist of everything SGA. I noticed this as I had my faux-meeting/espionage-operation on the president of SGA. Yeah sure I played it diplomatically, innocuous, 'Tell me what a typical day for you is like? Whats the workload? What are the hours like?' But I soon hit up the hard questions. 'What problems am I going to face? What difficulties are there in SGA?' When I was really asking 'Why do you guys suck so much at your jobs?' And I love how I left the meeting, 'Oh I'm just hoping I do as good as you all did'. Oh the wonders of oblivious sarcasm.
So yeah, am I trying hard? No. Why? My teacher's pregnancy, my distaste for my pseudo-political advisor who is one of the most cynical people I've ever met, or is it the fact that I cannot wait to see my girlfriend? It just seems that every is so dillussioned with these new elections. I really feel like it is going to be worthless. Before I played soccer last Thursday I had a quick talk with a friend of mine about running in the SGA. My friend told me things about the inner workings of the university that I would never have thought of a private Catholic institution.
I am trying to maintain an optimistic view on everything, but it just isn't panning out. I should've changed schools. I am definitely going to do medical school. Its tough finding someone with passion about their major, especially in political science. Everyone seems to be robots, no one seems to enjoy it and the only person who I thought did, well.. died this Christmas. But at least I have Nannerz. Nana always helps me with my political dysenteries. Nurse J not so much anymore; when debates are usually retarded to conspiracy theories and dim social nature that is gloomy with corruption, I tend to get disenthralled.
'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.. I agree with the second part.'
