What, me? Why? Oh just write...

Now that we're here, I'm not supposed to be even doing this.So what am I doing writing this little post on a blog related to an institution that I am thankfully not a part of anymore? Pestilence aside, another influence that could have possibly motivated this epitome of laziness that is your truly is the fact I could use the practice, or the unlikely chance that I'm feeling nostalgic.

However, I will punctuate this post with a picture.

I'll just leave that as it is. I loathe to ruin it with a caption.

So yes, where were we?
Ah yes.

What do i say about an institution such as MCKL?
I could always quote Jeff Dunham and Walter:

"Marriage is an institution."

"Yeah, so is Alcatraz!"

Of course, MCKL isn't Alcatraz. Its not a prison site which was inescapable for the most part of its history or the site of a VX missile attack gone sour. Its merely a half way house where people who either are too poor to pay the astronomical costs that places like Taylor's incurs, or too proud to do pre university at a half baked place somewhere else. Sure, it might have been a little too nostalgic for its own good back then, but they're trying to change! They've gone and got themselves a marketing division! They're hiring new lecturers! Trust me its all good.

Did I mention they're going to build a new block too? Yes they are! Well, I bet you that involves cutting down that real nice tree by the cargo container, but a price to pay for advancement I suppose. We can then safely assume they are not tree huggers. Which may be a good thing come to think of it. Would you trust someone who hugged a poison ivy coated tree on principle? I wouldn't. I don't really want to leave with a horrible rash. But still, the administrators of MCKL are good people. Just a little... misguided.

Another punctuation:

Because it pays to be early for class

Now, because I am out of things to say for now, I will do some shameless pushing of my own blog: Subpoena'ed (which you would have undoubtedly seen under my link in the links list) which functions as my image, ramblings, and poetry dump.

Hope to write again.

Ah, the good days in college.
Since this IS a student's blog, rest assured nothing will be held back here. Especially on my part, heheh.

I can't say this college is perfect-- in fact to be honest it is flawed in many ways, but hey, that's the MCKL we (eventually) grew to love, right? Right, so we're straying a little here.. but what exactly makes it so endearing to us seniors? Most importantly, what makes it NOT?

We love (at least I did/ still do/whichever applies)
: the fact that everyone knows each other here-- no cliques you would expect to find in typical colleges. What bugs me is the fact that the college is begining to lose the closeness as the number of students is increasing-- well, you get the idea.

:The low, very low, college fees compared to other colleges-- we like it that way (not like it matters anymore to us ex-ers) so please keep it the way it is

:Lecturers-- how can you not love them? They are approachable, punctual (sadly for some of us, including yours truly) and most of them are really good, I can tell, but whether they are still up for the game is a completely different matter altogether (more on it later)


We hate(d)
: Name tags-- let's face it, what can be more irritating than being denied access to the college just because we forgot to bring a piece of plastic with our names printed on it? I understand it's probably to prevent some unknown stranger from entering the college, but is it really necessary to carry it around college as well? Imho, the tags serve nothing aside from entrance identification-- it's not like there's a magnetic strip on it for swiping it anywhere anyway, so we're probably not going to be using it anytime soon. call me a baby if you will, but I dont really want to pay for a sticker whenever i leave my nametag at home ;)

: Some lecturers-- they may be good, but are they relevant? Is incompetency justified by experience? I shall leave it as that lest I get into trouble. :)

:Number-- of students, that is. It is a generally accepted idea that the batches are getting increasingly distant in terms of interpersonal connection as more and more students enroll. we can actually see fragmentations within a class, but who can blame them? the college is only getting bigger with time. something has to be done before we lose something that has become unique (I daresay exclusive) to MCKL-- the bonds between students irregardless of class and age.


Uh, that's all i can think of at the moment. I hope i don't sound as though i am against this college, i love it, really but these are a few things I feel strongly for.
what do YOU guys think? What do you love to hate or hate to love in this college?
