a dip in the pond is just a little bit
harder, even if you have some of the
best natural insulation like myself,
with it being just a teeny tiny bit on
the chilly side.
Now I know what it feels like to be in
an apocalypse-style movie!
Quack!
You know; the one where you go to
be one night, and everything seems
hunky-dory; but when you wake up
the next morning, it’s foggy and cold
outside with no signs of human life.
That’s what is started to feel like,
until my ‘oh-so-clever’ cousin from
the Learning and Research Commons (which I hear those clever
journos from Student 24/7 call LARC
for short) reminded me that the
exams and recess has started. Well;
I didn’t appreciate his smug look,
but at least I managed to breathe
a sigh of relief; as I haven’t exactly

It is hard to believe that half of the

have an awesome vacation planned
for the recess, or planning to catch

especially with the Soccer World
Cup!); or for those of you like my
cousin, you might be already prepping for the next semester. Whichever it is, make sure to keep warm!
This weather is not conducive to
much productivity I can tell you that!
Even I have difficulty forcing myself
to get up and have a stroll around
Campus in this weather. And taking
Quack!
I have to admit though; looking back
at the last few months, I will say they
were quite a fun bunch of months on
Campus. To know that we are celebrating 10 years since the merger,
with all those flags around Campus,
just makes me feel prouder to be
here. Then there is the welcoming
of a new Vice Chancellor. While he
hasn’t made an appointment to meet
the greatest goose on Campus yet,
I know he is working hard to make
our University as a whole one for the
record books. Hope he remembers
to bring some sandwiches along!
