alright. like 25 things wasn’t boring enough? i’ve also been tagged! by Kev! so here is my list because i like him and he brought me a TON of goodies when he visited in August. and did i mention i like him?

The Rules
- Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post. (see above)
- Share seven facts about yourself in the post. (see below)
- Tag seven people at the end of your post. (see below)
- Let them know they’ve been tagged.

The Things
because i don’t complain much and have even been accused of being overly optimistic and making things here on Nevis sound better than they actually are, here are 7 things i do NOT like about MUA:

1. mandatory attendance policy
i understand the reason (we are a Caribbean school keeping up certification standards so we don’t look like a diploma mill), but still. seriously??

2. library
it’s small and cramped and noisy. pretty much the opposite of what i need to cram zillions of facts into my head.

3. parking lot
okay, it’s the road to the lot that’s bad. and i am only saying this because i thought i left flat tires behind when i stopped riding my bike. no such luck.

4. talk about the New Building
it really doesn’t exist to me. it’s like a mirage on the horizon that wavers and disappears the closer you get to it. who cares if it has looked finished for the last 2 years. it’s not.

5. desks
ugh. i’m getting old and i have had too many years in a computer chair.

6. the cafeteria
okay, i have to qualify this one too. i actually like the ladies in the cafeteria very much. but i would really *LOVE* the option to snack on something other than peanut M&Ms or Oreos or Quaker Chocolate Chip granola bars. and there is no way you’re getting me to pay $15EC for a plate of rice and beans. heck no.

7. lack of internet access in the classroom
again, i understand the reason (MUA is just looking out for our academic well-being and doesn’t want me to distract everyone sitting behind me with a video of Obama and Hillary’s heads pasted on the Orange Mocha Frappuccino Jeep scene out of “Zoolander”), but still. seriously??

    Optimism is GOOD! I am continually trying to become more optimistic and cheery, even if it only serves to annoy the heck out of people ;)

    I am like Xavier, or at least in my mind. I am sure I complain much more than I realize, but I am doing my best to be optimistic. I never thought I would see the day that I could read a post on here that sounded like it came out of my mouth : P

    [...] Apparently my feeble attempt at revealing ten whole things (when I was asked for 25) wasn’t up to snuff. I’ve been tagged again by Jen to offer up seven more! [...]
