Hmmm why?

I've been wondering about a few things recently about things around here. Firstly, I reckon I know why people here use pencils to take notes and why students in UK don't. I take notes with a pen, you should see my notebook, it is a BIG mess! The lecturers change what they write on the boards more times than they change their underwear! Well some are worse than others, take my maths teacher for example, he is by far the worst teacher I've had.. his writing is smaller than an ant and messier than a 5 year old's. u's look like o's, n's look like m's, f's look like t's, not only that, he will write a whole load of stuff on the board, then realise he's either made a mistake or he found another way to do it and rubs the whole thing out. To top it all off he can't speak clearly and he shakes too much, he's about 70 and he shouldn't even be teaching. Read the comments here, they give you a good idea what I mean. Oh, here are my other lecturers, Steck and Horn. I agree with the comments, even this one, she is hot! but no pic unfortunately.

Secondly, everytime we want to go on an outing organised by the international student office, we have to trek 20mins? across the campus to the international student office to write our name on a piece of paper and then trek back. Wouldn't it have crossed their minds that international students don't have cars? and maybe an office in the middle of the campus would've been a better idea? I don't mind walking, sometimes the weather just makes it uncomfortable..

Finally, I tried to apply for a job on-campus, but I couldn't because I didnt have a social security number or a driver's license. The driver's license is easily obtainable, but for the social security number, I can only get it if I work on-campus due to some rules on my visa which permits an international student to work off-campus until after 9 months. The only way to get a number now is to work on-campus, which makes me wonder why they wouldn't give me an on-campus job if that is the only way I can get a number.

Well now that I've got that off my chest! I thought I put this in:

Before

and after
