stupid stupid MAC
M.A.C. in their awesome wisdom, is closing Seneca in MARCH.

what the fuck.

march?

and they plan on having mustangs be an "all you can eat" replacement for seneca. There is barely enough seating at mustangs to handle mustangs customers. There is no way that they can handle the number of people from seneca. And its all you can eat, so people arent going to take it back to their room.
This will then push alot of people to stix. therefore there will be NOWHERE to eat on campus while using a meal.

the thing that pisses me off, is that when i asked about this at the beginning of the semester, the woman from MAC told me that if seneca closed it would be a couple weeks before the end of the semester. i call bullshit. Halfway through the semester is more like it.

they should at least allow meals at laptop to help handle the people

i dont know if anyone here knows her, but i figured i would post this up just in case, i know we have a couple equine girls. Its a terrible way to start off a new year.

A SUNY Morrisville student is dead after an accident in the Town of Smithfield. It happened around 7:45 a.m. Friday on Swamp Road.

Deputies say Laura Janson, 18, of Chittenango was headed to the school's Equine Center when she lost control of her car, crossed over the center line and hit a pick-up truck. Janson died at the scene.

Investigators are trying to determine what caused her to lose control.

"The vehicle lost control and then it gained back control and he watched it in the rear-view mirror and then the car just slid sideways right into the northbound lane directly right into the path of the northbound vehicle. And there was probably nothing the northbound vehicle could have done, it happened so fast it was over,” said Sgt. Jeff Sawyer, Madison County Sheriff's Deputy.

It took fire crews an hour to remove Luke Riverburgh, 32, from his pick-up truck. He is in serious condition in a Cooperstown Hospital.

MAC
laptop is only open for lunch, and now Stix is only open for lunch.

MAC can go to fucking hell. I have heard nothing good about this new dining place, and now they are using it to replace laptop and stix. fuck them. I was so glad when this place opened because i could actually go to stix without waiting in line for an hour, and now they close it so you have to go to the new place and wait in a longer line.

i have a commuter meal plan and this pisses me off so much. if i had a resident plan and depended on eating on campus i would probably choke somebody.

**__EDIT__**

MAC seemed to have pulled their heads out of their asses and listened to students for once.
they extended laptop till 6pm monday-thursday (not quite its former 8pm, but much better). and stix will be open untill 7:30pm.

i felt i had to update this.
any bets on how long it will last?

Requesting new ownership
Well, since I've been a graduate of Mo'ville for quite a while, and have finally moved away from the area, I think it's about time that I turn over ownership of this community to some new blood. I'll stay in charge until someone steps forward and asks to be the new moderator.

So, leave a comment here if you're interested, or leave one at my journal. Hope to hear from you soon.

I hope everyone's had a great Spring Break, wherever you are and whatever you've done.

Aside from the new place on South Street, does anybody know of any storage facilities in the area? Nothing special, just a place to toss my winter clothes and random dorm furnishings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hazing
Hello, we are two students at Rochester Institute of Technology currently engaged in an independent study project addressing the issue of hazing. The goal of this project is two-pronged - we wish to discover the prevalence of hazing in the state as well as get your opinion on what should be done about it, if anything.

Under the lj-cut is our survey, which asks a variety of questions about your personal experiences with hazing, and we would greatly appreciate it if you could take a minute or two from your time to fill it out really quickly. We even have questions at the beginning for those who have never experienced hazing but wish to share their opinion on the subject. Additionally, each question gives you the option to answer in more detail beyond the choices we have already provided. We encourage you to take advantage of this if you have more include in your answer.

Your responses to this survey are anonymous, so please do not put your name (or any information that would identify you) anywhere on this survey. You may quit the survey at any time and for any reason, or you may decline to answer any of the questions, but your responses to every question are important and we ask that you answer as many of the questions as you possibly can. You may post your answers however you like - under your user name, anonymously, or you may e-mail them to us at [email protected]. All posts will be screened, so no one except you, us, and the community administrator will be able to see your responses.

Please inform us of any questions, concerns, or feedback you might have. Thank you in advance for your time.

although in not currently in attendance,i know that u all are now on xmas break...
this is just me..thinking, of winter....enjoy





Snowflakes flutter
To the ground
Falling peaceful
From all around

I stand outside
Holding up my palms
Hoping to catch some
As my mind calms

Looking up
Into the sky
It's so white
So way up high

I think to myself
How serene it must be
Just to be a snowflake
Yet never to be seen

the fox and the hound, er campus
This probably doesn't interest anyone, but..
i saw one of these guys on campus tonight:

::EDIT: this isnt a picture of the one i saw, just a pic i found online, jsut to clarify::/EDIT::

i have heard gray foxes are a little more aggressive than red ones, but i have never seen a gray one in the wild before, so i dunno. But if you see one, dont try to pet the big pretty kitty, mmkay?

i thought it was interesting. it made me think about the email we got awhile ago reminding us not to hunt on school property. but he didnt say anything baout trapping!! j/k
