A Meeting a Day!

I have a theory - work is like iron. And a worker is the magnet. Once one finds the other, they can't get rid of each other. That's been mu case in the short span of time since the semester began.

OK, I found the work. Kshitij and LitSec were always there - they're my responsibilities. Also, there's Nav Umang, the disaster-in-waiting Inter-Bhawan Cultural Meet. There have been a few boring meetings for that at the Thomso Office (which I'm entering after over a year in a very different, upgraded, capacity). As Organizer for Kshitj's event, Halcyon, with Keshav and some second years, I've found it simple, although it does take away some time.

But then, there's Cognizance. Somehow, it just came to me that I need to get a MUN this year. For a variety of reasons - to cement my position in LitSec, to get myself the experience I'd need in case I choose to shift over to management, to have fun at Cogni again... the list goes on. But then, it's easier said than done. I've had at least five meetings over it with everyone from my co-coordinator to the Lit Secy to the Convener (Finance). Fortunately, several OC members are my classmates, which makes it easier.

Of course, the inertia in the core team is the real problem. Believe it or not, we have been behind them for four days to get us a logo made and to open EB apps on the website. Well, there was a long story over an exclusive FB page and we still have neither a logo nor a webpage. What's worse is that we are competing with another MUN that appears to be cash-rich.

As for Halcyon, our main aim is to promote the website. That's not happening unless we actually have a better website. After two meetings, the only visible change is that I can edit anything - I'm the global editor now. So a nice little comment from one of Kshitij's founders was approved instantly. But no tangible change because, for some reason, our second year designers don't seem to get the urgency of it all (or am I freaking out?)

Well, add to this a debate tomorrow and the fact that I have had an average of two meetings everyday for the last five days and you can understand what condition I'm in. Yet, I do know that I took this responsibility up and I have to meet it. And I will, whatever it takes.

At least I had the good sense to drop my plan of co-organizing Vox!
