Stupid Things That Carleton Is Known For
Well, course registration time is here once again and everybody is rushing to call in and get the courses they want. Now, logically one would expect an university to be managed more or less like a business with a preference for profit. But that is not the case at Carleton or the School of Business (funny how they can even call themselves a School of Business). It seems that Administration likes to go out of their way to piss off students any way possible. In a business sense, students = customers = $$$. The more students enroll at Carleton means more $$$ and more $$$ grants from the provincial government. However, irate and pissed off students means less enrollment due to previous students warning new students about Carleton's crappiness or present students switching to other universities = less $$$. Usually a university would want their fourth year or near graduating students to leave with a good impression and fond memories of their university rather than pissing them off and cursing at the very mention of their alma mater. Well, at Carleton fourth year students register at the last week of registration. This means that any lower level courses that they have to take would be filled by lower level students first. Not to mention those fourth year courses that are open to third and sometimes second year students. Therefore, every year; fourth year student often find themselves having to appeal for entry into courses that are full by the time they try to register for those courses. The last thing a fourth year student needs is to worry and fret about whether he/she would have to stay an extra semester just to complete the requirements to graduate. Speaking in a business sense, this is retarded. It is always good in the interest of the organization to keep the customer(students) happy and not to piss them off. AAAAARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, done ranting and letting out steam.

Lunch at Lapointe fish market was good, they have some awesome fish-based dishes. Denis, Aaron, Jon and I went down to the market to get some lunch and decided to try Lapointe. It does have a fishy smell - since they do sell fish there as well. Oh well.... t'was an 'aight day.
