So, where to start. Procrastinating a little bit because that is what otaku's do.
I want to say some observations in life that i have made awhile ago but it came up again.
People want money. Will do stupid things for money. Will beg any and everyone for money. etc etc etc money.
So I'm part of student council cuz you know, i'm awesome and all that. Well, let me get further in depth with my council. I'm in university if you havn't guessed. Definitely a grandpa around the internets. I was around when Internet was 56kbps and that was the latest tech at the time. You guys just don't know how good you have it now. We kids used to wait forever for one page of porn to be loaded! Anyways, as i was my university has the college student councils which i'm a part of. These colleges are affiliated with either a certain residence or departments and they have their own seperate colleges and students will be registered with these colleges at the time of induction. Colleges are responsible for events and frosh week for the students coming under their jurisdiction. They are not THE university council but something like it. Anyways, I got elected blah blah blah if you read my earlier post.
So, back to my point. This kid is part of this club well more like an organization that wants to give a prof and T.A. recognition for their work and wants my college to pony up some funds to get it done. Pretty much pay part of the sum to give the teacher for recognition of their work using our colleges money. His selling point is that it will be unique because its from students. Well, all i can say to that is N O. Straight up. First of all i think its ridiculous that we're paying such astronomical student fee's already to pay my overpaid profs. Secondly, our money are for the student of our colleges, not meant to be spent on teachers. Third, teachers already get recognition from their peers and have awards and accolades for them. Fourth, due to a decrease in funding for colleges, the budget is tight and there should be no need to spend the little money that is still available for clubs to something extraneous such as this award.
Yes. I'm a prick with money but its necessary in order to spend money where it's necessary instead of giving it to whoever wants it. People expect handouts from every god damn avenue of the world.
And another rant from today. The Law and Society Club, nice people i can imagine but absolutely horrendous with money apparently asked for 1000$. The colleges small budget is... 2000$. Also have 30 clubs. Yea do the math. And their math is even worse. They plan to spend like what, 1000$ for an audience of 100 people. then another 950 for an audience of 50 people. Agh, these kids are so god damn mindboggling. How the fuck do you get such ridiculous numbers. I helped plan the same event last year and it didn't even cost 450$ total to get 200 people in for the same event. Blah, I feel like opposing them at the next meeting now and giving them way less then they asked... maybe 100$ instead of the 250$ that i was originally intending.
K back to work and rl. Peace out.
