Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

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

The other faculty are in a panic again. We have a scheduled monthly meeting with the brother president slash dean on Tuesday, and today they set an emergency meeting in the engineering faculty room, of all places, to prepare ammunition.

They say the agenda is on the faculty manual. Were there provisions they wanted that wasn't approved by the board that they are going to complain about again, without threatening to leave?

It could also be because of the "academic consultant" that will start next term, but will be officed in the faculty room.

Maybe some of them read between the lines and saw the letters D-E-A-N.

So will they voice baseless concerns again about this new superior?

Will they be apprehensive once more about not being able to do the things they have been doing the past years with the past dean, such as getting away with not doing as much work as they are supposed to?

The fact that these "underground" meetings are becoming regular is alarming.

If they're really dissatified with how things are being run around here, they could just leave. But I bet this is just intrinsic with being Filipino (apologies to anyone out there whose pet peeve is a rant where the Filipino is to blame) of voicing out wanting something better but not wanting to do something concrete about it, such as give up and walk away (or in the larger picture, migrate). After all, it has been said that everyone has the power in their hands (or feet) to get the life they like if it means getting out the their currently miserable situation, never mind that martyrisitical (yeah, I know, it's intentionally a cross between martyr and parasitic) stand when asked that "I'm sticking out with this situation, because I tell people that I have the ever optimistic attitude that it will become better, and I don't want to look like I've given up".

Session 2325 sounds so noble saying that while suffering. Class dismissed.
