Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

More little updates in my subjects and in the office of student affairs as the second week of classes started.

First of all, even though all throughout the summer I never once saw him go into the Engineering Faculty room, apparently the Brother President still continues his regular tour of the main building, and not just to turn off airconditioners and lights in empty classrooms. That is how he found out that the table assigned to me in the Student Center is not fitting, and he's authorized a new one to be ordered for me, although I prefer to get one from the warehouse if possible.

Second, the new proposal for the student council's leadership camp venue has already reached the president's office, and he wants a justification why the place chosen has to be so far away near the state university, when there are several places closer and which faculty and administrators know to be safer.

Maybe they'll finally agree to the person allowing them to use school funds for their seminar, or will they still try to manipulate their way into getting what they want.

The discipline officer asked me for advice on how to go about dealing with some chronic female dress code violators, one of whom is a graduate from our high school.

In connection with that I sent an e-mail to the brother president asking if we could use one of the IS guidance counselors for that purpose while we're looking for a new one for the college, and he cut through the pussyfooting and said he will talk to the students, so put more of a fear into their situation.

And he's somehow going along with my suggestion of deputizing the faculty (both college and IS) to get the IDs of any violators they encounter, as long as all of the faculty are informed of the new duty; in other words, more planning.

Some other sidelights in the meeting I attended: shuttle service league concerns about monopolizing the market, the bookstore and the photocopier service not having any incentive to open earlier than they have, which, unfortunately, is after classes in both the IS and college have started in the day, and a German Sheperd contest being held in school on Sunday, with a Taiwanese judge.

@@ I realized that our new faculty who is also a graduate might in fact be not as lenient as we first feared.

After all, he knows that whoever he passes and eventually graduates will be ranked alongside him, so he might actually have a stricter sense of what graduate material constitutes.

Session 2187 is still getting the hang of being privy to all this administrative information. Class dismissed.
