You Were One of the Emo / Goth Kids

When you were in high school, you were still figuring out what you were all about. You underwent an intense period of self exploration, and you learned a lot about yourself. You may have felt like a bit of an oddball, but luckily you had friends who were in the same boat as you were. You probably aren't very goth or emo these days. However, you still are likely to see things from an alternative point of view.

What High School Clique Did You Belong To?

Next to You

Yesterday, I witnessed the graduation ceremony for 7 of my INTI seniors. I'm so happy for them. Even though I did not get to know them sooner, but I definitely glad to be classmates with them.

You might wonder why one batch of graduates only consisted of 7 people. Well, here in INTI-IU, science students like myself is the minority (approximately 5% of the totally student population).

So in case if you think the situation could be worse, you are definitely right! If things run as it is planned, I would only be graduating together with 1 other classmate, making a total of 2 INTI Biotech graduates next year end.

Only the 2 of us!? How sad can my future graduation ceremony gets?

Blackout

Bill Clinton visitation to INTI-IU definitely brought so much trouble to the students. Not only did INTI management locked down the student center building, but they also closed down the cafeteria, citing security reasons as the excuse. The linkway to the academic block was also closed for the same purpose.

In the end students without umbrella could not make it to their 8am classes due to the morning rain on Friday. Students also could not have lunch at the cafeteria for that day. And being part of INTIMA, I am stuck with two opposing roles: my commitment to serve the student community and my position as part of the INTI management.

So what are the options left to me? Do I just ignore this situation and hide from my own conscience?

No... it's better to take the initiative and lodge a complaint before the rage of 5k students fall on INTI management and INTIMA.

Chain Intervention

I have this whiteboard in my apartment.

Everyday when I sit down in front of my laptop, the writings on this whiteboard would remind me of the work that I have to finish and hand in.

Everyday it will list all the coursework that I have yet to complete.

Life as guided by this whiteboard seem dull... until my clever housemates added DoTA to the list.

Now I have removed DoTA from my computer or else I would not be able to get any work done this weekend. And also for the following week.

DoTA is addictive. And harmful. Do try to stay away from it.
