Neglect?

Garbage was strewn across the floor in the area right in front of the computer lab and students today had to hop and skip over the garbage that has been collecting there for some days now. Coke cups, fruta cans, empty lunch boxes and many other bits of debris. Man About College is wondering if the cleaners have gone on a premature holiday, and also if only the students have noticed this heap, or if the administration simply didn't see the possibility rat infestation and leptospirosis as anything threatning or dangerous.

Man About College is countins how long it will remains there before anything is done about it.

The Upper Six would be officially saying goodbye to the college this Friday at their graduation ceremony. We can only hope that they provide good entertainment for those of you who are going. Who knows, maybe something interesting would happen as it did some years aback when a student proposed to another. Okay so maybe that's unlikely. But maybe something qqually exciting.

Man About College is sad to observe that the one-man administered petition, didn't seem to lift off the ground or manage to propel the Student Council to give an "urgent report" on Black Friday of this month. Soon its another term and elections would be around before you know it. Don't believe? Look at how fast the end of the school year has come.

MAC - Special Edition

St.Vincent and the Grenadines left their mark, or rather scar in the minds of the Aussie Cricketers. Showing just how "we Vincy stop".Protesting the loss of a batsman that wasn't really out, according to the Vincentian Spectators. It only took one person with the courage to start then others gladly followed throwing Mountain Top Water Bottles, Digicel 4/6 cards and even full bottles of Pepsi spewed open on the fields.

Robe Woes

The upper six students could be seen today gathered in front of that library. Chattering and worse, wearing some interesting looking green and yellow robes along with the traditional square topped hat. Sad that only 14 of the said robes are available, since the process would have maybe gone a little faster if more than that were available.

It was evident that the students were just bubbling with exictement about these pictures. Because really, there's nothing better than waking up early in the morning, bathing and succesfully avoiding contact with those who are not, water,soap or even roll-on inclined, then arrive at "school" to wear the same robe thrown over about 20 other people before you and have a hat firmly thrust upon your head, that has already.. conversed.. with other people's head and hair. Let's not talk about those who are going tommorow.

Man About College is hoping that something good will come out of this tragic fabric shortage. Like a yearbook perhaps? A durable one? Sure there are some (okay, lots) of people that you don't ever (ever, ever) want to be reminded of, but nevertheless, a yearbook is sure to come in handy.

There's That Smell Again...

In case you didn't notice, (how could you not?!), once again, the sewer system in the school has started giving problems. There's nothing like trying to focus on your school work when there's a nauseating scent emanating from outside. Man About College is wondering whether it is too dangerous to be fixed. (Let's not get into the dangers of fixing sewers)

There's nothing funny about striding to class only for the wind to change direction and blast the scent your way and still try to keep a straight face, lest a private candidate (or any of the other strange people lurking around) be led to believe you have digestive issues...

Anyway, Man About College is hoping that the sad attempt to do something about the problem (the broken desks and other random pieces of wood that's been placed on the cover of the leaky sewer, we all know about the healing powers of broken furniture) is not going to be the only attempt.

Finally, a certain construction company has picked up the pace, and is on their way to finishing the Calliaqua road. It looks like soon, Krap would go back to neck-breaking speed rounds, and people will stop frantically piling into any van with an engine and wheels, but return to the socially-accepted vans and pretend once again that they couldn't see certain vans. It's a pity though, since Man About College noticed the conductors of certain 'invisible' vans feeling like Kanye West as people fight to go in.

Who knows, maybe even after the 'real' vans aren't stuck in traffic, the others can still slow down in front of a group of college students, shout "tung we goin" and not be ignored.

Tidbit: Twenty Trini Students (yes twenty like Standford Cricket) are "aiding the police" , a.k.a "is dem who do it", in relation to the Comm-Studies Leaked Paper. According to a trustworthy source, some of them will be released on $500 bail. The police are still carrying out investigations. Well one paper down, alyo still have bout five to go.

30th post!

Ah Thirsty!

The Hurricane season just started on Sunday, 1st June, 2008, and so the days are getting cooler. But only gradually and so today was still a little humid. Unfortunately, if you were thirsty today, your options were tuckshop or some other far away place that the average dehydrated person just can’t seem to make it to. Besides, there’s something about cold water at the fountain, (maybe its because you don’t have to pay $1.25+) that makes it very refreshing.

The lone working water fountain in the school building itself was not working. To make things worse, that library was closed today for apparently no reason. Everyone knows that two of the most reliable water fountains are strategically placed furthest away from the main school body and in that library.
Speaking of the library, Man About College must commend that library on its timely closure. Seeing as exams are right upon us now is obviously the perfect time to close the only place in the college where you might actually get a little studying done. In addition, the little warning was perfect. Such a timely act cannot go without acknowledgement and praise.

It was refreshing to see today that some colour was finally added to the shades of gray at the college. The Art Room first-years, as well as some others students who were eager to contribute to the well needed splash, were seen today going outside the box while being rebellious, and getting carried away by their creativity (Which almost always brings good results).
