Too many graduates....

Saturday kinda came and went real fast in my opinion. Of course everyone and everythin' (even the sun) was in top form and in their best element. You cant blame 'em, it aint everyday FUTO holds its convocation, is it? I wasnt surprised to see the convocation ground packed to the teeth; at a point it became difficult walking talk less about finding a place to sit comfortably. And here we were thinking the ground would provide a reprieve for the whole human traffic situation we've always been experiencing during events like this. Let's face it, Senate road is too small. I think it should be dualised (Ohakim, anyone???? lol!) Anyway, it was nice to see everywhere with a new fresh coat of paint. But wait, am I the only one who thinks the senate building looks ridiculous? Bright orange and bright green at the sides? What in God's merciful name are they thinkin? Is it that hard to find a decent designer to consult? Well, food was plenty, with absolutely nobody to eat. I think everyone anticipated how unmerciful the sun was going to be and decided they weren't going to face its wrath. And unfortunately, most of the drinks that arrived cold just couldn't withstand the blazing heat. So if I were to choose between the blazing heat at the Convocation Ground and the pumping graduation parties in the evening, I think I would've preferred a blend; bring the food and drinks to the music, lol.

Well, I'm glad that's over. It's back to school like it's never happened. And the most significant change so far would obviously be Hall Of Mercy. With the philosophy of Arsene Wenger who thinks a player returning from injury is like a new signing, it's almost as if we got a brand new lecture hall. But, ahem...sliding windows? Aren't those kinda dangerous? A frustrated examination candidate could just become suicidal after his paper has been torn and fling himself outta the window. At least iron bars would make the place a bit safer, don't you think? But damn! Did they renovate that place! I mean, the tiles on the stage are a thing of beauty. And though I do not think we'll ever use the airconditioning units around, seeing them there just adds more beauty to the whole place. Let's hope they shift my lectures there, maybe we'd all study harder with that kinda tushed up environment, lol.

Anyway, onto some news...looks like Afrihub really wants to put up a fight with its tentative drive to ensure that it is absolutely compulsory to do its programmes. Arrgh! Serious waste of money and resources. For crying out loud are we not in a technology school? It should already be assumed that everyone is computer literate, and not force the ones that fully are to go back in time to learn wat a USB drive does...sheeeesh! Couldn't they offer some more professional packages? Maybe collaborate with a networking firm and provide Oracle training for those interested. We wouldn't mind paying more. I think it's infinitely better than paying 5K to learn what you already know. And also, the NYSC Batch A 2010 list is out, pasted at your regular venue. Hope none of y'all get posted to Jos, heard they've started killing people like chickens again. And for you Jambites, this is the scholarship season for all y'all, so you gotta stay rooted with your ears open cos opportunities have started flying about. Heard AGIP's is on the roll right now, with a deadline of March 31. So if you're feeling kinda broke but you're kinda smart, it wouldnt hurt to try, would it? And for those of you who think it's too late to register on the NUC database, don't worry it aint. Just meet any of the businessmen round campus to help you out, but be really careful on who you're giving your personal data and documents to! FUTO has its own share of Yahoo boys, so don't be a maga who must pay, lol.

Events-wise, I've just noticed a new poster out....Jabulani 5? Aint that the praise concert series from CASOR? Oh, so it's on Friday? And the publicity's everywhere on facebook. Hmm, that is a must see...wonder how they'd make use of the new upgraded facilities in HOM, dats if they even allow them to use it in the first place....more details on that much later.

Phew! Enough post for you to waddle through today, huh? Well, let's see what more exciting gist this our oh-so-boring school can cook up. Laterz.
