13 and a half hours to go until the final results of my degree are released. And I have nothing to do…

Why is it that time just drags and drags and drags in these situations???

At 12 o’clock tomorrow, the new UEC of Hull University Union officially take office, marking the end of an… er… eventful year for the UEC of 2007/08. With an updated constitution coming into force, many tricks and turns have awaited the UEC this year, and some may think that it is a wonder that they managed to come through it in one piece!!!

But they did. After the teething problems of the Open Forums, the attempted removal of a UEC member (twice), contriversial plans for Union entertainment, a disputed election, and heated debate over a proposal for a new constitution of HUU, resulting in a few members of the Union being… er… dissatisfied, many people fail to recoginise the UEC’s achivements. The “Reclaim the Night” protests, extended Library hours, higher turnout in elections, increased awareness in the Union politics and democratic structures, to name but a few.

As I look on to next year, I hope that, through the highs and the lows, the UEC of 2008/09 will be just as strong, and will deliever results, as the UEC of 2007/08 did.

All that remains for me to say is, Ed Marsh, Jay Webster, Daniel Harrison, Warwick Norris, Charli Hill, Hannah Shooman, Tom Metcalfe, Iain Keers, Craig Phillips and Heiko Loeffler, thank you for leading HUU this year, and good luck with your future endeavours
