So, I lost. But it's all good!!
Emma Devine is officially the Media and Communications Officer, and I truly am happy for her. Emma has been working so hard throughout the year in preperation for this role in the SU, and I'm happy to have been able to contest her.
The last two weeks have been stressful, tiring, nerveracking - but absolutely fantastic!
My campaign team have worked so hard in promoting the elections from helping me poster the uni to getting drunk on our 118 themed night out during Campaign Week, and I couldn't have done it without them! So thank you......Lauren, Helen, Sam, Katie, Luke, Richard, Nick, Matt, Tom F, Jamie, Gareth, Kelly, Phillippa, Pippa, Emma, Lizzie, Jason, Mike, Ben, Dave, Dean (and everyone else!)
I've made so many good friends the past few weeks as well. Everyone campaigning has made such an effort to chat to each other and help each other out as much as possible. I really think I've made some good mates and I truly wish the new team the best of luck for next year! So thank you......Emma and David for putting up such a good fight, Tom H for flyering and spreading the word with me, Chris C for giving me support and advice for about the past month! Steve and Chris F for always chatting away, and everyone else: Stacie, James, Daniel H, Tony, Daniel H, Nic, Kayleigh, Ben L, Steve, Ben A, Dan D, Steve, Emily. And of course everyone else at the SU: Dan W, Chris R, Maria, Vicky, Marianne, Amanda (and anyone else I've missed!)
Last night was such a great night for election results, followed by an awesome night in Scream with my friends: it couldn't have been a better end to the campaign (except winning obviously lol). But, thank you to everyone for your support, it really has meant a lot. Thank you to everyone who voted...337 first votes and 380 in total is something I'm very proud of!
Now I guess I'm actually gonna have to get a job in the real world! Although this might still keep me in Lincoln as I'm not entirely sure I'm ready to leave just yet....!

Riseholme, TPH & only 17 hours to go!!
So today, I followed the roaming ballot box to Riseholme and Thomas Parker with a few other candidates - and it was nice to sit with everyone and chat to a few students. I think I realised more importantly however, how much I really do want this job.
And, after a minor meltdown due to tiredness from the past few weeks, the stress of dissertation and everything else, I realised that I really am nervous about tomorrow's results.
Every candidate has put in so much effort in their campaigns this year, and it's sad to think that only five of us will actually get full-time positions. So good luck to everyone, and I hope we have a fantastic night tomorrow night, whatever the results.
Until then, there's still 17 hours left to get voting for all of you who still haven't, or know someone who hasn't, go online. Every vote means so much.

Vote NOW at www.lincolnsu.com/elections
Well, voting has officially started and if you haven't already voted, please do so at www.lincolsu.com/elections. Everyone has been so great so far in my campaign, but now I really need people to vote, so please tell your friends if they haven't voted either.
Myself and Tom (who's running for President: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=56983785377&ref=ts) saw some of you guys this afternoon as we walked around the Student Village, Hayes Wharf and Brayford Quays, but for those of you who we missed, feel free to ask us any questions you have about anything!
I want to re-iterate that in my manifesto I pledged to get the SU more involved with the students and ensure everyone knows who we are, so what better way than to come and see you personally and tell you about elections?
I hope you can see that I'm actually practising what I preach!
Thank you to everyone who has voted so far - it is greatly appreciated. But please encourage your friends to vote, as every vote counts.
Cook 4 Comms!

Scream!
I had such a fantastic night at Fat Poppadaddys last night with my trusted campaign team (Lauren and Helen!) and just wanted to thank everyone for their positive comments.
From people who said they had voted, to those who said they loved our 118 t-shirts (which I've lived in permanently for the past ten days so far.....), I was encouraged so much by the amount of response I had from everyone. So thank you so much!
What I also really enjoyed about last night - and I hope it was appreciated by everyone in Scream - was that I didn't bombard everyone with stickers. You may have all seen my 'Cook 4 Comms' stickers around, and I do think stickers are a good idea to get peoples attention.
But last night, in my t-shirt, all I wanted to do was have a good night out with my friends and have a good old dance. So apologies for the mental dancing to Phat Lip, but I truly had a good night, and hope you guys did too!
Thank you again - vote now at www.lincolnsu.com/elections, Cook 4 Comms!

A quiet drink?
So after a few days off from campaigning and some serious work taking place in my house, Lauren and I sported our 118 t-shirts for a quiet drink and a few games of pool in The Shed last night.
A quiet drink that led to the Engine Shed and MacDonalds!
And despite there only being two of us in our t-shirts, we were still rallying support for the campaign and managed to sticker almost everyone in the Engine Shed so can't have been too bad an effort!
