Congratulations everyone! We've made it to Halloween! Let's go out and NOT study... just kidding. I'll be studying this weekend for my 4 tests next week. I love it how teachers plan for the coolest weekend of the year to be bogged down with studies.
But, enough about my lack of social life. There are a couple of topics I'd like to discuss in this entry. Most importantly, let's talk about parking. The parking here at our university is getting ridiculous. Just 2 days ago, I saw a car parked on a sidewalk (mind you, there was a ticket on it's hood). Seriously? Can't we find a way to furnish another lot?
Secondly, the food at the cafeteria is overpriced. I paid $6 for a salad the other day. Had I gone to the supermarket and paid for $6 worth of salad, I'd be fed for days. Even better, had I used that $6 on bread, lunch meat, and a bit of mayo, I'd be set with lunch for close to a week. And, to top it off, I could go to Taco Bell and get $6 worth of burritos or chalupas. Oh yes, I think I am overpaying a wee bit. Let's get some competition going on in the university.
Third, I am really noticing the absence of Pepsi products on campus. I know Coke is very popular, but there must be avid Pepsi fans cringing at the vending machines. What causes this absence... and I where is my Pepsi?
Last, but not least, I would like to thank the professors at Kelley. During my high school years, I was told to have general questions; if I needed help on my math homework, I was asked not to use numbers, but to just ask about the concept. Here at Kelley, the professors actually work with you. I won't mention any names, but my advice is: if you have a question about assignments or if you need help with homework, just go and ask your teacher. They'll be happy to help.
I can't wait to hear your ideas and responses.

If you think parking is bad now, wait until they start working to build the new Wishard Hospital. And ...ground will be broken soon on another on-campus garage, but the wait for that to be completed won't make things easier either.
One good thing to note is the campus is devising a plan as we speak to help deal with the problem in the short-term. Let's hope they have some great ideas.
